    It's 90 degrees in Louisville and they couldn't provide an IV, so he declined.

    Guys, enough with IV jokes already. The funeral wasn't a Vada tested event.

    They figured that if FLoyd could not even carry Ali's jockstrap there was no way he could handle this.

    "If he was anywhere near that level of greatness of Ali he would be able to take his kids to school by himself. Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is bieng accepted by the people"

    The sole reason why Floyd wasn't asked to be a pall bearer is because he never took HGH and still got knocked unconscious for 4 minutes, knocked down and almost out by a jab, never had his **** knocked in by one shot, quit from a body shot, or outboxed and bloodied. Waits what was the question?

    Floyd didn't need to get KNOCKED unconscious, he was unconscious from sever dehydration...nobody even touched him. Had it not be 750ml IV saline Floyd would have had a same funeral.

    Great quote by Tyson, except it was moronic, idiotic and arose out of jealously. Ali was hated while he was on top. Sadly he wasn't appreciated until after his career when he had been reduced to a shell of his former self by Parkinsons.

    Mayweather is hated becasue of his success and greatness and people want to see him broken down and humbled, just like Tyson was who is now broke,
