To This Day I Still Can't Believe What Floyd Mayweather Accomplished

[Real King Kong]

Beating a healthy prime lineal champ in sexy Sergio would have made him #1 atg

I don't think he would have gotten a prime sergio tho...he woulda most likely gotten the leftover scraps like cotto did. Floyd was probably kicking himself after watching cotto cruise to an easy victory.

No no I totally understand what he's done. What I don't understand is how fans kept buying into it.

He created a persona, yes. But he didn't knock anyone out, he wasn't a particularly articulate guy or someone people naturally gravitated towards i.e. say a Muhammad Ali or Conor McGregor. And finally, he wasn't a handsome guy like Oscar either.

And he wasn't a heavyweight.

I haven't seen anyone else in the history of boxing who became such a star without any of the attributes mentioned.

Yeah I get that man and I agree with the majority of it.
I just don’t agree with you saying he didn’t have an exciting personality. I personally find the whole braggadocious personality quite tedious at times myself but there’s no doubt many people find it interesting for both positive and negative reasons.

I guess that's subjective. I just don't think it was something people particularly felt like was exciting.

I'm talking post Mosley - where he made most of his money. Just very repetitive and also he was fighting a lot of guys who barely spoke english like Cotto, Maidana, Canelo etc. Hard to talk trash to these guys I suppose.
