    Ali was hated when he was boxing. Who knows what people will say about Floyd when he retires.

    Ali is only idolized these days because his disease has diminished him, Ali was just as ignorant and disrespectful and please believe if he came up in the internet age he would be just as hated.

    The only reason Ali was tolerated in those segregated times was because he was shucking and jiving being a **** tearing down and embarrassing his fellow black fighters calling them gorilla's and things of nature, while the white man stood next to him and laughed. Ali set black people back many years,and it don't get talked about...................................................................

    If all fans are *****s he'd be a hundred times bigger than Ali. Fans (*****s ok?) would lick his toes in the streets and suck his dick when he sees him. If Floyd would have an LBM all his fans would clean him by licking his ****. Fact. :deal

    People are more racist now than they were in the 60s and 70s.

    Because Ali is very articulate and can speak in a relax confident smooth way, while Floyd can't speak fluently and often stutters and nervous.

    Cause Ali didn't cherry pick his fighters and fought the best of the best
