Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson are still relevant with today's generation and are brought up constantly as icons & inspirations :yeshrug: (especially with MMA fighters funnily enough)

if you manage your career and image right you can become a pop culture fixture like they are
You're killing your whole point. Nobody cares about the Berbick or Holmes fights with Ali. Ali pimped himself out A LOT for exhibitions. THere was that embarrassing shyt with Antonio Inoki. He did other wrestling events. Other exhibitions and years later nobody remembers or gives a damn. I'd much rather these dudes be able to cash out for every dollar they can make than to end up like Joe Louis or Sugar Ray Robinson dead broke and really having to embarrass themselves for money.

Naw he been said it's money over everything and his fans accepted it even if it meant they were paying for trash fights like Guerrero or Berto :yeshrug:


I saw this documentary on Netflix called CounterPunch recently and they touched on the "floyd effect" and how it can hurt boxing as a sport. We kind of seeing the effects now with dudes like Gervonta Davis barely fighting because it's all about securing a bag with the least amount of risk possible

..cares more about money than he does about his legacy?

dude doesn't seem to give two fukks about legacy or how he'll be remembered. the guy is the best fighter of his generation but is gonna be remembered more for these clown contests with non-boxers (and making a shyt ton of money doing it) rather than his actual skill in the ring. shyts sad man :francis:


So what do you want him to do?

at this point I just want him to retire and walk off into the fukkin sunset with a perfect record instead of taking these clown fights.

but a guy like Floyd is arrogant enough that he's gonna keep fighting until he loses eventually, and then all the pundits will come outta the woodwork to tear down his legacy and act like he was never good in the first place :snoop:

He fought everyone he needed to fight in his..... he legacy is intact.

I’m not sure what else does niccas want him to do, silly fake super fights against other names like Roy Jones Jr, Bernard Hopkins, and some HWs?

He beat everyone put before him.... he can do what he wants to do
