Why is Mayweather not as idolized as Muhammad Ali?

Inbred red necks(yanks) did not like Ali either all that much when he was active. get fukin real.

Only black boxers yanks love when they are active are sluggers who beat the **** out of each other.

 

Denver is an artsy city with a very liberal culture. Dont base it off one moron.

 

ali fought the best, pbf cherrypicks the rest...

 

Nah, I've been to Denver. Not as big a city as I thought it would be, but I had a nice time.

 

Because he's a ****. Even if you didn't like Ali (as many didn't) he was charismatic, witty, he was a real character, larger than life, Mayweather isn't anything like that. I'm not sure I've ever heard him say something about another boxer thats meant to be 'banter' that hasn't just come off as ignorant.

 

Ali was a gunslinger cleaning up the town and changing how people thought. He was born to do what he did. The world needed a man like Ali at that time and he stepped up to the plate big time.Although some people hated him, they couldnt deny him, his destiny. Mayweather , on the other hand is an assasin and a preditor of the highest order. people hate him cause they know hes knocking busters off but aint nothing they can do about it. Whats makes it so frustrating for fools is that hes knocking them when and where he wants to. He may not be idolized by some but his skills are dam sure respected by all. If you think Im lying, find a fool that will bet against him and get paid.

 

NOBODY...I mean NO athlete in history is as idolized as Ali, he's as Idolized as Jesus or Ceaser or Alexander the Great were in their day. Ali= most popular and idolized athlete that ever lived so it's a **** comparison.

 

aww yeah? shut the **** up. you dont know anything about america outside of what you see on television, hear in music and read on this forum. nothing you say about america is substantial and the only reason you're so deadset in opposition of the u.s is because the majority of us do not share your opinions of klitschko greatness. we're so upset over your views of our country:|. learn english too, or keep it short and sweet, because you absolutely butcher the language.

 

ALi had charisma

 

What Klitschkos got to do with this?:think:yep

I think I hit the nail. bullseye. If you are white red neck yank I told embarrassing truth which got you upset

Phrase(specially boxing at USA) "Boxing is a sport where White man watches two Black men beating **** ouf of each other" reflects what is name of the game in USA. That is why you really cant appreciate fine boxers like Floyd. FLoyd had to transform a nice guy a **** talking little gangsta and start acting like total dick most of the time so even white man would watch him(only to watch and see floyd getting knocked out):rofl. Floyd steps too much on white man toes and says things how he feels and not like yanks would love to hear them like Floyd were their little puppet.

 

this and their opposition.

floyd tend to duck them while ali fought the best. you would be loved when people see you fighting who they want you to fight.

 

Basically, because Floyd's career is culturally irrelevant. While being exciting in the ring and controversial outside of it, Ali's career ran side by side with the civil rights struggle of the 60s and 70s and the Viet Nam war, which allowed him to become a cultural icon, despite being hated by many while in his prime. He also showed he can come back from defeat and rise to the top again, while facing seemingly insurmountable odds (sports fans love a comeback story). Finally, he fought EVERYONE, and he fought them in their prime.

Floyd is comparable to Ali in talent and ego, but not much else.

 

Ali's accomplishments >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mayweather's resume.

Ali fought the best of the best at their primes. He always made the big fight. Mayweather.....not so much.

 

Hold on.

Do you suggest that Floyd fights for or represent black people in general somehow? Or that he fights for any purpose save improving his financial situation?

Ali went to jail because he was against war. Floyd will do it because he beats women.

 

You do know Ali hit on his wife too, right? :think
