  1. The Joy Boy won't have been happy about it, thoughts?

    I think that this is another dumb thread.

    Maybe because he wasn't even born when Ali was making a splash on the world stage. How's that for starters?

    He'd be too short. I say this as somebody the same height as Mayweather.

    Because mayweather said he didn't rate ali as the best said he'd lost too many times etc

    A funeral is the wrong place for a person to stand on the shoulders of giants

    Would need an IV drip beforehand.

    Those coffins are mighty heavy.

    Ali was a brave heavyweight that took on every chalenge. Mayweather is a tiny man that avoided challenges in the later half of his career. It would be a symbolic disaster - letting the generation of brave men be ushered to the nether world by the generation of the businessmen first and fighters second

    He talked too much smack about Ali not being the greatest -- the family hates Floyd.

    Because it would be bad form to hang an IV drip off of the casket while carrying the casket, am I right?

    he may have already paid for the funeral so he didn't need to.
