If Mayweather had a more crowd pleasing style, would he be adored as much as pac?

    Sometimes it's easier to point out a grammatical error than to continue a losing debate:lol:

    Dunno, you're talking to a guy who believes that a boxing style depends on the colour of your skin.

    The only crowd pleasing style mayweather could adapt is fist-to-face style where he started getting his jaw jacked and KO'd in every fight.

    that guy first posted here as ALLBLACK.

    his only purpose is to malign pacquiao and he is not a mayweather fan.

    If MoneyMay was white he'd be an American Hero.

    Just because I asked you if I was losing doesn't mean I was taking it personally. I'm just confused by what you said. :lol:

    Floyd not being as well-loved is all down to his poor level of opposition.

    People would love him if he fought the best.

    floyd is very good to watch. very technical, and he does knock people out. He's definetly no Paulie Malignaggi.

    Problem is more he comes across like a complete Tit on tv, which means people take a dislike to him.

    And then he starts going on about if he was racist racist BS.

    No Floyd its because you coe across as a complete ass on TV. If you came across as a genuine nice guy, or just respected people and the sport more.then you'd have more fans

    firstly, floyd has a pleasing style in my opinion, and the crowd shouldn't be in the arena if they don't know they're witnessing once in a lifetime skills.

    back to your question though. simply put, yes. he would probably be adored as much as pacquiao (I say probably because people seem to forget when posing these ridiculous popularity based questions that pacman has the 12th most populous country one hundred percent in his favor unwaveringly) because he would be a guy with the same mouth as the current floyd who backs it up in fierce and brutal fashion. lots of fans die for those sort of characters, and anyone who follows boxing has seen them before.

    floyd has a crowd pleasing style, the problem is that he's a risk versus reward fighter and that includes how he performs in the ring

    I can't imagine a white guy - who calls himself "Money May" and says things like "I'm a gorilla I'm a dog" and goes around throwing fake 100$ bills in clubs and who hypes himself up to be the GOAT without the resume to back a third of what he says - being an American Hero.

    he'd be laughed at, ridiculed, and would probably have less fans than the black Money May.
