Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali Backing Pacquiao on 5/2, Says Daughter

[The Big Dunn]

Yes. It was after the Maidana fight. Ali tweeted something along the lines about how now its time for Floyd to fight Pacquiao. Floyd got pissed and blocked him.

You sure he dropped him?

dunn, respectfully u dont bring up shiiet like that to use as a reason why u are not fighting fighters the people is asking. what kinda shiiet is that??? i can understand if the interviewer asked floyd what he thinks regarding ali's health, etc. BUT no, floyd openly brings ali up when the question has nothing to do with him! floyd was using ali as a reason why he will not be pushed into taking fights he doesnt want. thats some BS!!

that's not why he brought it up. He brought it up as an example of how dangerous the sport can be for boxers that have to keep fighting when they are no longer able to defend themselves because they were financially irresponsible.

that's not why he brought it up. He brought it up as an example of how dangerous the sport can be and how some boxers have to keep fighting when they are no longer able to defend themselves because they were financially irresponsible.

READ what i said!!! nobody asked him that!!! he was talking about how dangerous the sport can be which he went off track from what the interviewer was asking him.

You would literally eat floyd's bellybutton fluff on toast. Fooking pathetic.

I did. what you wrote wasn't factually correct. He used it as an example, actually a pretty powerful one. You are trying to make it something else and cite it as proof he didn't admire Ali. That's utterly ridiculous.

"The Greatest" has picked a side in the fight of the century, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao -- with Muhammad Ali's daughter telling TMZ Sports - "My dad is Team Pacquiao all the way!"

We spoke with Rasheda Ali -- who's very close with her dad -- and she tells us, "My dad really likes Manny. He's a huge fan of his."

"He knows Manny's a great fighter ... but it's more about what he does outside the ring. He's such a charitable person."

Yes. There was even a thread here pertaining to it at the time.

I do recall a thread like that. Does that make it real or factual?

Gong created a thread saying Floyd/cotto 2 was on for May 2, 2105 and that you could book it. I think we can agree that was false.

once again nobody asked him about health, money, being broke, etc. i just said floyd said all of that going OFF TOPIC from what the interviewer was asking him. and here u're saying floyd was explaining about the dangerous of boxing, etc. LOL!!

and why would u even bring up ali to prove a point, etc? like i said, have some respect. if u want to voice ur opinion on how brutal the sport of boxing can be, then go for it, but have some respect and leave the fighters that are affected from it out of it. u think ali doesnt know the mistakes he has made in boxing to get to where he's at now? why rub it in their face by saying i dont want to end up like that?
