    I do think Cross Trainers comparison between Corbett and Floyds psyches was a good one.

    And that level of confidence makes all the difference in the world. Floyd's "bad guy" persona at most gets him a couple angry "haters" on the internet...and a few fans as well. Johnson's persona risked lynching and murder in a society much less tolerant of that sort of behavior.

    Floyd acts the way he does partly because a large segment of society rewards him for it. Johnson, not so much...
