An English Mayweather: How would we react?

[Luilun]

Let's say there was a boxer with the skill set, style and personality of Floyd Mayweather, but was English. Hell, an English Floyd Mayweather. How do you think the British public would react to him? Would he be as hated, more loved and appreciated?

I am curious because typically, the fighters throughout history British fans loved were the 'British Bulldogs" who wanted to fight. I wonder how the public would react to a more calculated, smarter but boring fighter who had more success than anybody in British history.

They would be wondering where he went to school

Mayweather already is quite popular in the UK.

This. He's loved more in the UK than the US as far as I can tell.

He would be very popular. But I also think he would be less of a ****. He just would never be as ignorant as he is if instead of being from Vegas he was from say.....Romford.

Prince Naz was from England and Floyd essentially copied his persona. He never used to be like that back in the day, he was a choirboy type of guy but you'll see that Floyd switched it up soon after Naz debut in the USA with the Kelly fight. Floyd copied Prince Naseem Hamed (who is from England).

From what I heard, Floyd was actually humble in his Pretty Boy days.

Shows you how money changes people.

Boxing is boxing! Only the nationalistic, racist pricks would have a problem with it. I know, that is a big number of NSB menbers!

He would fight in front of 80k at wembley. I think Floyd would still have a big impact on American ppv. He would have to be like khan tho and have most of his fights in America. And not like hatton who only had 3 USA fights before he lost to floyd

Prime example of my point right here!

imagine the way Floyd talks with a british accent, are you going to understand what he's saying?

Nobody would take him seriously, that's for sure.
