Even though Floyd was the one who brought him up first. Even though Conor is already famous and his star power is still growing. Even though Conor is already further in his career right now than Floyd was in his when he was the same age.
And IRONY ALERT when it comes to Mayweather or his fans saying someone is trying to make themselves famous by mentioning his name... Floyd himself didn't start drawing 1M buys on PPV until he fought a cash-cow like Oscar. Conor made himself.

What does Conor even have to do with Floyd? He is just referencing Conor and Ronda as examples of trash talking and double standards. That doesn't mean it outs them even in the same seat of success. Like at pop music, people come and go quickly, one hit wonders. Justin Timberlake? Floyd's been around for nearly 20 years in the sport and since his debut they were raving for him. Common sense, Conor McGregor best luck to him, but he and Ronda need Floyd to get attention and they are cheap tricks.
You mention Ali, but if you want the real perspective, it was Jack Johnson for the equivalent to what is to Floyd. With inflation, Johnson was the first black millionaire superstar of a sport in the USA. That means a lot, and his time, racism was worst than in the 60s.
You're good. Great point bringing up Jack Johnson. In fact there is countless video of Ali making the exact same point about Johnson.
Nobody went through what Jack Johnson went through. In my opinion Floyd should never be compared to Jack Johnson or mentioned in the same breath as him. Floyd doesn't live in the world Jack Johnson once did.
Floyd didn't have his licence taken away from him for over 3 years by the Gov't ala Ali, ( they put Ali in the poor house) nor does Floyd have people trying to kill him. Today most people couldn't care less about him, not because he's black, they just have other interests. Most find him annoying, because he really is annoying. Some think those who find him annoying are bashing his boxing prowness. He's simply annoying.
Floyd should have been the Micheal Jordan of boxing. Boxing would be ruling today if he was like and Ali or a Leonard.

Floyd doesn't need to be like anybody else. He's done more for this sport then any other fighter has done in decades. Why would you try and copy Ali? You're going to fall short no matter what.

McGregor is right about not bringing race into it. Irish have been oppressed by the British for nearly 1000 years. Historically we have more in common with the ****** of Africa than the slavers.
In fact the same people that enslaved the blacks of America were busy starving us Irish nearly to the point of extinction in the middle of the 1800s.

FCK is up with you ******?!
Marciano, Joe Louis, Ali, Foreman and Tyson were cultural icons and global figures.
Mayweather just cruised along and now has pretty much disappeared. No one really cares about Floyd. They never really did. It was just his record that made the spectacle I think.
