    well we can disagree on savior, but he definitely was the star and that's not debatable

    smaller than it is right now. Tito Trinidad with all his fans and "charisma" couldn't even get Oscar's PPV numbers that high

    Yes, no one can troll as well as Floyd, but Andre Ward is a nice looking man.

    I have a feeling that Floyd was/is more of a star in the US. In the rest of the World I'm not so sure. And certainly not even close to the status of a Mike Tyson, where even grannies got out of bed at three o'clock in the night to watch Iron Mike cut down trees. Of course Floyd is a star across the globe for knowlegdeable fans but for casual fans outside the US I'm afraid the answer is "Not really!". Wasn't Floyd on dancing with the stars by the way?
    Regarding Boxing vs. MMA I think it is too early to call. However it is a fact that MMA has gained ground big time the last few years.

    if there will ever be an American boxing savior, he will have to be a heavyweight.

    unfortunately, this won't be happen anytime soon.

    uh yeah, no kidding.

    if you are 100% black like Floyd and you're the best = everybody wants to see you lose/knocked out
