Just real quick....I saw inteview with
Very intelligent dude and I respect him a lot. His opinions always come off as absolute though...and thats something I wanted to touch on.
He says Floyd hasnt felt the racism like Ali. There are levels and degrees to anything but you cant elevate one man's plight over another. I dont think you can say there is better or worse racism. To me its all the same. In these times, its more covert so the argument can be made that its more difficult at least in some ways.
He doesnt feel Floyd has a strong case to be called TBE. I say this with all sports.....I dont think there is an overall GOAT. Only by era. How those era's are broken down are different. Floyd has had a pretty long era though.
He also was asked did he think Floyd would be viewed in the same light as SRL, Hearns, etc...he said no. I think differently. He ultimately will be judged differently once he retires. Foreman was not liked at all in his first career, particularly because he was facing an icon. His 2nd career was a total 180. He proved to be a lovable and graceful star. When Floyd's career is over, he wont have to play the heel or "sell" himself, and once that happens, I think he will be well respected by the mainstream.
