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

[Dle]

Clue! Ali daughters says in the article that Ali and Pacquiao is friends. Now, who do think he should be rooting for? It doesn't change the outcome 5/2. I still have upmost respect for Muhammed Ali. He's human too. But Pac's still getting that azz whooped next month. Charity, good deeds and all won't stop Floyd from tagging...

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.

One of the greatest black man that ever lived support Manny,hey Flom*s s ask yourself why???? Please don't say something ****** about The Greatest because his life is LEGENDARY LIKE HIS BOXING CARRER!!!!

One of the greatest "black man that ever lived" also used a black toy gorilla to represent another 'black man," the same black man (Joe Frazier) that petitioned the U.S. President to get his right to fight again, and then he disavowed a "GREATER BLACK MAN" who taught him to respect the Asian culture, and taught him the history of the Asiatic Black Man in the first place. I'm glad you love this man, because if history is any indication of the future...the southpaw loses!

Ali may have abused frazier. but he didnt duck himself to being the GOAT unlike little floyd.

Some famous fighters pick Mayweather and some pick Pacquiao to win. So what? It doesn't change a thing. The fighters themselves will determine who wins and the judges if it goes the distance. Mayweather is the favorite but the odds aren't that big in his favor and nobody should be shocked If Pacquiao wins. They are fairly evenly matched and that's part of what makes it a great fight. These people that say they KNOW who will win really don't know for sure and will be wondering until the fight is over.

Everyone else now can side with floyd. haha. Ali and Tyson. What a Honor. Respect! Growing up I never ever thought any fighter from the Philippines would be in this position and that love from the greats. Inspiring stuff.

[Build That Wall]

The Reason Why he is rooting for Pacquiao is because he doesn't like how Mayweather refers to himself as TBE, And Ali still wants to be refered to as the greatest.


Muhammad Ali is the greatest. Point blank. A Mayweather win will not make Mayweather the greatest by any means. Mayweather will win this fight. But people who have a brain and know anything about the sport should know that Muhammad Ali is the greatest.

It obvious that warriors and true fighters are rooting for Pacquiao, he is something they can identify with.

Boxers that are more about image than substance will back Floyd though.

[mathed]

Time for someone to say that Floyd would've whooped Ali's ass had they fought.

Speculation, but that may have something to do with it.

That said, I think he'd be rooting for him regardless of the TBE thing, because him & Pacquiao are friends on a personal level. Ali & Mayweather on the other hand are not friends on a personal level. And you're going to root for your friends, obviously.
