    How do you rate Floyd in terms of his jokes?
    (And, yea, I know he's a boxer, not a comedian. Get the stick out of your ass.)
    I honestly can't remember him being very funny. Got any specific examples my friend?

    I don't find most boxers funny except for maybe Tyson Fury or Usyk. James Toney could be funny sometimes, too. Clubber Lang was hilarious but of course, not real unfortunately.

      Floyd's trollsmanship was some of the best ever. He was a master at irritating people inside and outside of the ring. Got into every opponent's head minus the Latinos.

      McGregor for all his trash talking skills couldn't get the better of Floyd.

      No fighter outtrolled Floyd. It was mostly the media that managed to piss the man off.

      Sometimes, funny.

      He had moments where his delivery was way off. Throw Ortiz naked into a dungeon. Or Ortiz wants to get massaged by a big black man.

      Only 2nd to Mayorga when it came to humiliating Oscar. Got his revenge on Shane by bullying the hell out of him for jumping into the ring after Floyd's victory.

      Floyd is an anomaly. Made himself into the biggest draw the sport has ever experienced even with these two factors: Top 3 greatest defense wizards in boxing history.

      Not very articulate nor witty.

      And then he reached a point where he totally stopped trolling.

      I was expecting manny to get a verbal azz spanking in addition to the inevitable physical azz whooping. The former didn't happen.

        10 out of 10 funny trash talker is Mayorga.

        0 out of 10 is Cotto. 2 out of 10 being manny.

        I'd put Floyd at 7 or 8 out of 10. The most important speaking lesson he imparted into future generations is the willingness to talk. Floyd was down to do what most fighters aren't and got paid handsomely for it.

        Most guys hold themselves back with let my fists do all the talking caveman thinking

          Cringe worthy indeed. Why doesn't he just go away, or at least shut that attention whoring mouth of his up? Floyd, most people don't care about you anymore-- So says this guy (me) who used to be a big fan of his.

              His last funny moments were the Shane Mosley 24/7. Straight cringe after that. That hot tub time machine line from him was probably the last time I laughed at his jokes

                Was funny in the Oscar and Hatton build up and went downhill from there.

                  I don't know if it is intentional or not.

                  Reporter: Floyd, what do you think of the metoo movement?

                  Floyd: What's that? Like I got a billion dollars, me too, I've got 2 billion. I've go a jet, me too, I've got 2.


                  Here

                  Men's Health: We're asking a lot of men, in light of the #MeToo movement, how men can grow in 2018.

                  Mayweather: The who?

                  MH: The #MeToo Movement. Women speaking out about sexual assault.

                  FM: When you say "me too" ... When somebody is like, "I got a Rolls Royce, I be like 'me too.'" When somebody say they got a private jet, I say, "Me too. I got two. Me too."

                  MH: This is a very different –

                  FM: Well, I didn't know! My Me Too movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have I'm like, "Me too." Somebody say they got a billion dollars, I say, "I made a billion dollars, me too."

                      This is one of the things I mentioned earlier. Quality is beyond trash but if you can tolerate 2min of distortion, it's pretty damn interesting. One of the few times Floyd came across really clever w/o insulting someone in the process;
