Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Reacts To Muhammad Ali's Passing

most likely because Mayweather had criticized and belittled Ali in the past.

“Take punishment and let a man tire yourself out from beating you? And then he’s basically fatigued, and you hit him with a few punches and go down and quit and you want to be glorified for that?” --- ****weather about the rumble in the jungle

Viva Ali! May god bless you again in the next life.

I hope he covers the entire cost for the funeral, if not people will hate on him for not doing that. Can't remember which fighter passed away and Floyd donated like 10,000 for the funeral costs and people still complained

I think it was Hernandez.

He just called the guy a legend and a great man, people are hating on him for that. Nobody brought up what Floyd said in the past

I know,but I think it's natural for some people to put 2 and 2 together sometimes.

Now, I don't think it was tasteless at all.

Also,he made a proper tribute on his instragram.

Today my heart goes out to a pioneer, a true legend, and a hero by all means! Not a day went by entering the gym that I didn't think of you. Your charisma, your charm and above all, your class are all of the elements that will be greatly missed by myself and the world. You are someone that inspired me greatly throughout my boxing journey and words cannot express how great you were as a person! Thank you for everything you've done for Black America, in the the world of sports & entertainment and for the legacy you leave behind! My sincerest condolences to the Ali family!

Off with his head!

He's not gonna mention how Ali can't punch to the body when the guy just died....

As I said, Floyd has definitely said many tasteless and totally improper things about Ali in the past. But this isn't one of them.

But I can understand why people take his words with a sense of self promotion specifically due to the things he has said previously.

i didn't say he was.

Did Floyd actually write this post though?

There's no way Floyd wrote this. Too nice and too articulate to be him

I bet one of his P.R guys wrote this for him

after realizing he's been a douchebag regarding Ali so far
