    DAMN..... why you gotta put me on blast! I guess I did...but I corrected that in proceeding posts. SRL was like DLH, Tyson and ALI in the US...just MEGA Stars..... they were unmatched in their day in terms of just how popular they were. PAC is like that today....NOT in the US although he's still VERY popular for a NON American fighter. He's more popular in the US than the most popular US born fighter.

    Oh my god. This is getting more and more incredible by the minute.


    First, in the height of his ******* emotions, he posts something so ridiculous that he's made to look like an utter fool.

    Then, when he come out of his Pac-hypnosis, he realizes how stupid he sounds, and tries to flat out deny he said it. :lol:

    Both men will have huge ??????s hanging over their careers if they do not fight each other, true fans will not rank them with the true elite fighters because they dont deserve it until they fight each other.

    Its disgusting they way both have been behaving for 2 years, definitely not ATG p4p material.

    You're not in great company .... Floyd fans who show your level of commitment tend to "cosign" blindly on anything Floyd says or you "think" he might approve of.

    Wait, if you're saying that this is not a fair assessment of Floyd's career, that's one thing. But the point of the article is really about the perception of Floyd by the greater non-hardcore public. I think it's not far off.

    What's your reason to think that the author is wrong about the general perception of Floyd?

    Here's another one with a different approach about Mayweather-Ortiz, and a bigger issue that boxing has always had to reckon with -and usually doesn't reckon with enough...

    Terrible article. The man basically compares Floyd hitting Ortiz with the time in as loading the gloves.
