What is the point of this thread. boxing isn't even a star sport so how in the hell would Floyd become a Jordan like superstar? Until boxing regains its popularity no boxer will be a "superstar". Iceman need to quit the hate....this attempt to minimize Floyd's importance to the sport is just dumb. There is no need to try and move the goalpost! Floyd is a big deal when it comes to boxing
Is PBF a true "Superstar" in the truest sense??? Experiment...

Nah, Mark, NOT AT ALL...I've met Floyd several times, even trained alongside him in the gym before...I actually tell people all the time that he is MUCH different in real life than he is on TV etc...always find him to be very cool...and he is a GREAT fighter...for me this has nothing to do with him personally as much as it is just myself and another boxer friend of mine debating over what and who qualifies as a "superstar"...he said Floyd is one , I disagreed...after the debate I told him I would do an unofficial poll and see how it turned out, I posted it for him and had it copied and pasted so I posted it here, too, thats all...NOTHING PERSONAL aginst Floyd whatsoever...Last edited by ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY; 04-29-2011, 10:35 PM.Comment

Women would more likely know Enrique than Floyd. Plus he's huge in Latin America. That is a very large group of people that would be more likely to know Enrique over Floyd. Music just reaches a wider audience than boxing.Comment

Many boxers have become SUPERstars, though...it isnt HATE on my part, thats just foolish to say...debating a man's level of fame on a BOXING board isnt hate, its just a discussion...what is dumb is for you to dsay this thread is an "attempt at minimizing his importance to the sport"...relax, man, its just a topic of discussion, PERIOD...

I'm so relaxed. You have said slick things before about Floyd and his family. I just call it how I see it. In boxing, Floyd reign supreme...if the sport was more mainstream he would be just as popular as Tyson was in the 90s. Ali was famous not only for boxing but social issues too. No boxer will be that again, not in a niche sport so why should Floyd be expected to meet that standard. You as boxing fan should try and uplift the sport like the
