To name just a few. These were people that were met with similar challenges as Floyd but were not deterred by their circumstances but instead rose above them. You may not like Mayweather's antics or whatever it is you clearly despise, but there's no denying he's more than just a punk from the ******, he's made a profound impact on the sport we love. That contribution can't and shouldn't be overlooked simply because he hasn't been able to fight a guy that's in the stable of his old boss.
Your insipid post relies on information you can't substantiate (like Mayweather fear) but more importantly its analysis is so utterly shallow one could construe its true meaning lies in some racial animus you refuse to admit.
Boxing is a business that employs promotional techniques, I understand that bothers shallow people like yourself but try to separate promotion from the person. Mayweather is a promoter as well as a boxer, as well as a human being and a father. Is it too difficult for you to differentiate these roles? All you see is a punk really?
