Why is Mayweather not as idolized as Muhammad Ali?

I was talking about ALI

 

50% loved Ali 50% hated him DURING his career... After Floyd retires people will appreciate him more..

 

Damn Thawk888, this interviewer is 0 and 2 against Ali. The interviewer is correct in that society played so much back then. Today, you can have a Puerto Rican woman and a Chinese marry without all the hardships of society. I understand Ali, but we are the human race and can't be compared to other creatures. Look, who ever heard of a gay bird or elephant. There is a reason why there is different skin colors and languages. You could almost be in heaven and in front of God and tell you lived exactly how God wanted. God says, "yes you did everything, but you hated Chinese people" and flush you go. Racism is the biggest problem we have even over disease and anything else you want to name.

 

Yea, at the time I suppose I understand what Ali was saying, especially being so outwardly faced with hate from whites in America and not really able to culturally interact with other minorities of the day. Not to mention, it was the racially separatist attitude that the "Nation Of Islam" had that they still preach to this day to a degree.

Elijah Muhammad was really good at swaying fairly intelligent people to his viewpoint.

It's just looking at it now, it all seems so ignorant. Unfortunately though, those very social, racial and cultural divides remain the same.

 

ali talks trash but right on point and makes sense

floyd is just insecure, ignorant and uneducated dumbass nicca

 

atsch No, that is not all. He was also loved and HUGELY popular by waaaay more people then who actually hated him. He was admired by a lot as well. Guess what, by white people too. Learn your history...

 

This is basically it. :deal

 

this. theres not much people IN THE WORLD that get idolized like Ali.

 

The proper response was repeated at least 12 times but was completely ignored or should I say ducked by the *****s. Takin after their boy I see....

 

Are you freaking kidding me? Everyone who knew Ali thought he was a funny, articulate and intelligent guy.

FLoyd has the mental age of a 12 year old. He is also dumb as ****. Just happens to be an amazing boxer

 

Floyd's fanboys here are dumb as rocks. It's just easier for them to gang up together, make lame jokes, or blame race and hate. atsch

 

:rofl yeah. But at least Cellz just made the cut right before I made my post :good

 

Some people don't like him due to his sexual orientation! Me personally, I don't have a problem with Floyd being gay.. I just don't like when he sucker punches his opponents! Floyd is the best Gay American in the history of boxing, I give him credit for that!
