Imagine being that insecure

I watched that interview with Fat Joe. Mayweather has an incredible ability to bring any topic discussed back to himself and not want to address anyone else's name. Hey Floyd, who was the toughest opponent you faced? " my thing is this, it doesn't matter because at the end, all the results are the same because I beat them all". Floyds, give me your top 5 rappers of all time " Joe, the thing is this, I've made smart investments with my money, I own property in Miami, NY, all over".

Listen, to my boy tooting his own horn. If you listen to Money May, one would come away into believing that he pioneered all things good in boxing. May God love him!

Floyd cant help himself but to seek attention to himself. Ali was the pioneer if exhibition bous that led to the creation of MMA. Shameless.

No, that is factually incorrect. Exhibition bouts are as old as the Marquess of Queensberry rules of boxing itself.

[champion4ever]

Muhammad Ali was the first to do a cross exhibition bout between a professional boxer and a professional wrestler but wrestling is not a combat sport. It's all entertainment and showmanship. Professional wrestling is neither a competition or a contest because it's scripted.

We tried to forget you but you won't STFU.

[boxinggod101]

That was ****** and pointless to say....Fat Joe simply asked who he thought would win and this is his answer??

Are you surprise?

NO WE DID'T, Ali did them all the time, Foreman fought 5 guys in the same day, sorry pretty boy, you didn't invent anything, except how to duck the best, you know either retire or make up b s rules to a fight (drug test, gloves, etc)

[ironmike2012]

We can go by your delusional fantasy or look at the numbers.

Mayweather sold far more tickets throughout his career and made a lot more money. Purely boxing related.

Tyson may have been more 'famous' due to being an ear biting quitter who ****d people on the side alongside his boxing career, if it helps you sleep better at night he can have that.

But Tyson's a POS on the bottom of Mayweather's shoes when it comes to boxing.

Floyd the women beater, who cried like a girl when he went to jail for 30 days, because he wasn't getting the proper water, whereas Mike did his time and never once complained.
If Mike is a scumbag, what is Floyd?
Can't say Floyd is a good person and Mike isn't, they are the same pretty much, only Mike is humble and doesn't make everything about him.
Floyd is salty about the buzz of Tyson, Mike's pad work is more exciting than Floyd's fights (boring).

I´m pretty sure Floyd was originally orange, that would explain a lot (not the skills tho). And the best exhibition fight I´ve seen was Ali vs that Soviet HW Whatshisnameov.
