Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali Backing Pacquiao on 5/2, Says Daughter

[////]

I'm a life long Ali fan. I would have name my son Muhammad or Ali if 9/11 didn't happen. I didn't want him to be profiled. His middle name is Zaire. After the place of my favorite Ali fight. I prolly own more Ali memorabilia then any one On this site. I Always get nerves when I see his name flash on the bottom ticker on tv. Bc when he passes I'll mourn him dearly. I'm wear an Ali t shirt under my blazer to work tonight. With that being said. He can back Manny all he wants. Still doesn't change the fact of how much I adore him or Mabny getting that work. Make no mistake, Manny is gonna get the work period. All the camps of yesteryear can take several seats. We live in the generation of the greatest athletes ever to walk the earth. Not just in boxing but all sports. The all time greats hate seeing their names scrubs off the walls of history. But make no mistake about it. Floyd leaving boxing undefeated puts him in the front seat for the greatest black boxer of all time. Especially when history puts how easily he handled so many boxers with pure ease.

The irony to that is if a Ali had supported Mayweather you would have been one of the first people to say that Ali only supported him because he's black.

Preach Brother, Preach.

No preaching. Just pointing out how hypocritical and predictable you are. When Bernard Hopkins picked Mayweather you acted like you wanted to cry and claimed Hopkins only did it because he's black

So how are you any different from those idiots in this thread that you're mocking? You're not.
