    What, you don't think that played a part in how famous Tyson became? Aren't we allowed to mention it anymore?

      Nah, not really. I think it actually did the opposite for him. He was household way before that.

      You're allowed to do whatever you want, it just reads like a low-blow is all I'm saying.

        Maybe now that Floyd has retired for the 4th time he can devote more of his time to his following hobby.

        It isn't a word usually associated with an undefeated professional boxer who has won championship titles across five weight divisions. But for a son who was a witness to his father's beating of his mother four years ago, "coward" is an apt term to describe Floyd Mayweather Jr.


        His son was pretty accurate with his description when he labeled him a coward and Insinuated at the end of the article that he was a runner.

Skill-wise he's clearly better than both. Although people don't consider him as entertaining.
          you may not believe this but back in the day Ali was hated more than Floyd is today. But then again, boxing was wayyyyyyyyyyyy more popular then.

            You're a moron if you believe that was the reason he is so famous.

            He was so popular in the 80's Nintendo made him his own video game. Maybe you've heard of it?

              Floyd is a better boxer than both. People only know Money Mayweather, some people dont realize how good he was when he came up

                I said he was famous before, when he was jailed he was more famous worldwide. Like OJ Simpson no ****er ever heard of OJ Simpson in the UK until he was on trial for murder.

                Prince Naseem had a boxing game. How famous is he?

                  He was very popular in Japan when he went and this was way before his alleged allegations against him.

                  I don't know what you're trying to prove by slandering his name. It doesn't make Floyd look better.

                    You obviously don't know what slandering means.

                      I'm not going out of my way to talk bad about Mayweather. He's a popular Boxer known in most of the world. It's questionable whether he's known worldwide on the level of Ali or Tyson though.

                      I don't see why you disparage Tyson for no reason other than to have Floyd seen in a better way.

                      Whether he's seen in a good or bad way is irrelevant. That's not the topic.
