In the cut
Writers hated Muhammad Ali, Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, etc. Floyd is not special or unique l et's not forget that Muhammad Ali basically made Howard Cosell into a household name, because Cosell was always down playing Ali or calling him out
It's a part of boxing. Some writers love Floyd (Percy Crawford, Ben Thompson, Greg Leon at one point)....however, the "professionalism" and "integrity" comes into play when a reporter does NOT report important info just because they are "cool" with you like Floyd wants them to do. That's the whole reasoning of the fall out between G. Leon and Floyd. Leon reported some shyt that Floyd didnt want him too, and bam, the "friendship" is over because Leon chose his craft over their friendship.
Other writers dont and will NOT do that (Crawford and Thompson).
The fighters you listed a have two things in common, they were the biggest name in game and they were black. Ask yourself this, if Mike, Jack, Muhammad or Floyd did all the
same things inside or outside the ring and they were not black would they be writting the same things?
If Floyd was a latino named Fernando or a russian named Fedor would the hate from "proffesional" journalist be the same
I actualy stopped going to fighthype as often because they were just PR for Floyd. Which I wouldnt mind as much if it was strictly about boxing and training and not about what Mayweather was eating at 3 am
