    His name was Naz

    and Floyd copied his persona

    Although Naz was far more entertaining in and outside of the ring

          Don't see the resemblance to Floyd and Naz. Naz and Mcgregor are pretty similar though. I've never seen Mayeather go around shouting I'm the fastest, I hit the hardest, I'm the prettiest and handsomest of all etc.

          Floyd has his own dumb trash talking style while the other guys seem to be copying Ali. Just being honest, I think I just unintentionally complimented Mayweather even.

                27 going on 37

                he peaked early, bad hands, weight problems due to an accident, trainer change etc...

                naz was on the decline even before the antonio barrera fight.

                amazing boxer, all the talent on the world, after his loss to barrera, Floyd Snr offered to train him....Snr was a big fan of him and believed in his natural abilities

                But Naz heart was no longer in the sport and his hands were in his own words "brittle"

                  As in ethnically an Englishman? He would be gone. The racist rants and woman beating would have ended his career early on.

                    Naz was more like the British Roy Jones. Crazy athleticism, flashy ring entrances (although Naz was more flashy), and not great technically. I don't see similarities between Roy and Naz.
