    We're not talking popularity...we're talking impact on the sport..

    I see Floyd's style all over boxing...not Mike's...

    Beating Peter McNealys isn't making an impact on the sport....just making boxing fans look stupid for paying for that ****...or being impressed by it..

    Soon as Mike fought somebody that wasn't scared to death he got KTFO.

    It's hilarious that you think Floyd invented the shoulder roll defense, because he didn't. Floyd hasn't been doing or changing anything, he's basically copying whatever Oscar De La Hoya did.

    Obviously this is a joke thread.....
    Floyd is probably well known in US, but I guarantee to you that 90% of the rest of the world don´t know who he is.....
    Put Floyd in any busy street with a lot of people in my country and I´m 100% sure no one would know who he is in the first 7 or 8 hours......
    There is no comparison at all !! Please.

    Mike Tyson saved heavyweight boxing in that post Holmes Era. He did what Heavyweights were supposed to do and unified the belts.

    Mayweather has done all the cross over work(Tyson did much as well) to bring new fans to the sport and made it profitable and normal for HBO and Showtime to dedicate more than just the 3 hour block to promoting events on their network. Mayweather also changed the sport by making it profitable to have it shown in Movie theaters, now if he'll just get his cards on XBOX360 like the UFC does then he'll have done just about everything he could for the sport and its expansion.

    Great Post. It sickens me that Pac tards and Floyd fans refuse to
    admit Oscar gave birth to their Gods.

    Oscar=Titan
    Floyd Pac=Zeus
