    Naz was huge back in the day. He made about 30-40 million in his career i think. For a featherweight it was unheard of!!!

    Everyone knew who he was, plus you have to realise its not like he was a white British fighter, he used to come into the ring praising Allah with the Yemen flag (i think) and everyone lapped it up.....would never happen now.

    cant call that luck mate. He has made good business decisions, plus has a great manager in Al Haymon.

    The question is who was bigger right? Who gives a **** about their personalities. Naz was an idiot as well. Bottom line is the numbers dont lie. Mayweather is a fcking global sporting superstar, love him or hate him. The dude has earnt 4/5 times more than Naz if not more.

    Michael Jackson is the very embodiment of this statement, however he was a super star. People that have been earning good money and put in the lime light from a young age are often like that, they never really grow up properly.

    Mayweather certainly doesn't have one of those charismatic aura's and does come across as a spoilt brat with little to say for himself, he's still the highest earning athlete in the world though regardless.

    Naz wasn't as big as Floyd but like everything with Naz its a case of would of, could of, Naz as good as he was, didn't quite have the talent to match his showmanship.

    Naz was the man and the reason thousands of lads laced up their gloves to become boxers. Guys like Paulie Malinaggi are boxing because they watched Naz - Kelley.
    Naz was a world class exciting boxer, hilarious and a great character. Floyd is a far better boxer, but his character is so detestable. Even Tyson a convicted ****** is more likeable than Mayweather, a spoiled pampered little richboy with strong daddy issues.

    Naz sums him up here:

    Typical Mayweather fanboy, this is why I cant warm to the guy and his fans. Its all about money to them, its a disgusting attitude. People became fans of Naz because they loved watching him fight and his personality. Many like you are fans of Mayweather because they love money, and flashing it about.

    As you say yourself who gives a **** about personalities, its about how much money you have. Sad.

    Listen bigman, u know f all about me. I was a Naz fan as much as anybody. Its simple facts, Mayweather is bigger than Naz was an an athlete. that was the debate right? Simple. Nothing to do with loving money or whether who was the biggest twat. Who was bigger, the answer is Floyd.

    Mayweather thinks he's Chris Eubank, but without the charisma or toughness.

    who cares, mayweathers a **** who cherry picks and naz was an entertainer, he had charisma coming out of his ears he was super talented and more importantly naz is good man, mayweather is not a good man, good men stick by their families not get locked up for beating ex wifes around
