    Don't even start to compare Ali and FMJ.

    Ali has impressed me on many occasion outside the ring with his profound thinking and greatness.
    FMJ is a douche.

    If you cannot tell the difference then you are dumb.

    Ali was a man who became the man.

    Floyd is a boy who never grew up

    What happens between him and his family is his own business. If somebody got into my family business, I would tell them to **** off.

    Just saying.

    If you do it in front of cameras, it's everybody's business.

    Even if they was an overt film crew who were contractually permitted to film you, and you started the argument knowing they was there?

    I agree that family business is family business but at the end of the day if you live by the sword you die by it as well. Meaning.....Floyd lives his lifestyle a certain way...he PUTS himself out there in the lime light because he needs the attention and that comes at an expense. By Floyd looking to be the center of attention...by being WILLING to air out his dirty laundry in front of cameras and out in public...it's not just going to be "HIS FAMILY" business....he makes it EVERYONE'S Business. Floyd can't pick and choose which elements come with living his lifestyle and putting himself and his family in the lime light. He has to take the good with the bad.

    FMJ is looked up to by materialistic people who want to have money and the flashy lifestyle that goes along for it. People who dont stand for anything other than that.

    Ali stood up for a cause, went to jail for his principles.

    He transcended the sport, something that FMJ will never do.

    See, the thing is, being an ******* is OK if you're witty and entertaining. There's a certain charm to it. That's what makes MJ loved and Kobe hated, and it's what makes Ali loved and Mayweather hated.

    I don't think anyone could be a Mayweather's fan for what he is outside the ring. He is idolized by many because of his outstanding skills inside the ring.
    So this episode won't do much harm.

    I was a little disappointed with Floyd reaction as well. Some things should be kept behind close doors and that **** was one of them. You don't show the world **** like that, it doesn't matter who the hell you are. At least both his parents are in his life, there are so many folks who can't say the same. I like Floyd as a fighter, but his conduct in front of the cameras suck. I remember him saying in a interview one time about he's not a bad person, if he was then he feel he would have been beat already. Well if he keeps that B.S. up, we just might see him knocked the **** out pretty soon.

    Im ****ing amazed how many peep thinks that BS with sr was not planned. Camera dont follow them all week. They got a filming crew that got specific **** to film. You even see sr turn his head to the camera like he got a GO.
