... Mayweather is not making a stand for any righteous moral that he believed in like Ali did. Mayweather is so skilled and masterful. But so was Ali, and the difference was he was truly out there to fight whoever they threw at him, no matter how high the risk in styles.
Let's face it; Merchant and Mayweather are not really Cossell and Ali. It's soulless in what Floyd has with Merchant and hateful and does nothing to help the sport.
Mayweather is incredible, but he is, and never will be ALI.
.... Mayweather is a goddamn phenomenal boxer that I love but he fights more for money and even though he draws ppl into it; it's missing something that Ali had. Ppl look at Floyd and say boxing needs to have better fights like with Pacquiao/Margarito/Williams/Cintron, whoever.
That was never the case with Ali. Money or not, he, and almost ALL his fellow boxing brethren fought for glory and fought everyone and each other to see who was truly the best. Now it's more about the money...
I can see why ppl could try to make the parallel. But there's so many things that make the 2 different. Ali lived in a better time where it wasn't all about promotions and blockbuster profits and; it was more about truly fighting everyone as much and fast as you could to create a true legacy to leave behind. Cossell actually cared for Ali and remained good friends that helped to promote the sport, not make it look like a shell of what the spirit of passionate boxing once was.....
@SnukkaFly You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Cotto is the one who ducked Mayweather. Cotto was suppose to fight Mayweather after Mayweather dominated Gatti, but this was around the same time Mayweather left top rank, and Arum was feuding with Mayweather and avoided giving Cotto a fight with him, its the same thing he's doing with Pacquaio right now.
fuck u mayweather haters u say floyd ducks the best but everytime he fights its somebody coming off a win! manny only fights bums and mayweather leftovers! he would never fight ortiz berto or bradley he hasnt fought a real contender or somebody mayweather didnt already beat in years u pactards are full of shit and dont know anything about boxing larry merchant and the media treats mayweather unfair because he doesnt kiss ass and hes the best! hes too skilled 4 the juice man real fans know that
I totally agree with MYTMIC to a certain extent, but one difference. Cosell actually like Ali and that was his way of putting Ali over. Larry Merchant truly hates Floyd Mayweather. Larry Merchant is nothing but a drunk racist. Cossell actually cared about Ali and wanted him to do good and defy the odds..
EDUCATED PEOPLE WHO KNOW BOXING KNOW THAT ALI FOUGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FOUGHT ANY AND EVERYONE THAT WAS CONSIDERED A THREAT OR THE BEST. FLOYD BEATS WOMEN, GAMBLES, EVADES TAXES, ASSAULTS CITIZENS, AND CHERRY PICKS, MAKES EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AND DUCKS AND DODGES THE BEST. FLOYD IS A PUSSY.
