    It may sound ludicrous at face value, but he probably still does have the biggest name in american boxing.

    Floyd’s the face of boxing the same way Blockbuster is still the face of movie rentals.

    Floyd the Fool is only in the headlines because of his financial foolishness

    Imagine making hundred of millions, only to squander it and keep having to fight at the age of 50

    The man is a grandfather and is fighting out of necessity

    I’m so sick of this crap where fighters call themselves the “face of boxing”. No fighter is ever the “face” of the entire sport. Just cut that **** out already, nobody cares.

    The fact that a 50 year old still needs to bring that up says a lot about his desperate need of attention. Hes already getting some but not the kind of attention that he was hoping for.

    Right sentiment but he has the opposite end of the human anatomy.

    I mean if Floyd counts then Tyson also does and there's no argument that Floyd is a bigger name than Mike Tyson.

    Obviously neither is the face of boxing because circus fights don't count.

    Also you moved the goal post from 'boxing' to 'American boxing' just thought I would point that out.

    All he had to do was fight and get out of some debt. Now he has more.

    He was when he was active. Among active fighters.

    Now that he is inactive, among inactive boxers he has to compete with tyson. And only Ali could compete with tyson in popularity and widespread impression
