The more I hear the name, the more it seems familiar. But I never paid attention to boxing; I prefer enjoying my time.

I probably heard the name before. But he seems to be a dumb nigger raised on rap. Not that all black people are niggers, just the ones that act like it.

I knew who he was and, although I'm not a fan of boxing, have seen him fight a couple times.

I knew he was a boxer in a lighter than heavyweight weight class but that's about it. I really find boxing boring.

How is he the best fighter in the world? Can he truely back up this claim? Is he even the best boxer in the world? Has he faced world class fighter from other disciplines or competed in MMA and won?

Well, when you don't follow boxing it is hard to know who some light heavy wieght boxer is. That is like getting pissed at people who don't follow MMA and not knowing who Chuck Lidel is.

It's be more like someone who doesn't follow basketball not knowing who Kobe Bryant is.. Boxing is covered by all types of mainstream media.. It's not like you have to seek out news about boxing.. It's always in the newspaper, on tv (even on channels like CNN), and is constantly actually shown on regular cable tv.. The same can not be said about MMA.. That's a stupid analogy.. |

1) To my knowledge MMA is bigger than boxing is right now. 2) Kobe has had sex scandels and you would have to live in a hole not to know who he is, plus he is further along in his career than Mayweather is, probably. I'm not sure, but it seems that way too me. 3) Boxing is crap. |

You really cant be that big of an MMA fan cause Mayweather came out and boasted last year that he is the best fighter in the world etc etc and that he could be any MMA fighter etc etc.. There has been alot of hype in the MMA world about him fighting in UFC.. Also, your whole "MMA is bigger" shit is flat out wrong.. I think the highest buyrate for any PPV ever was a few months ago when FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR beat Oscar De La Hoya, just an FYI.. Another little tidbit of info for you, Mayweather became pro in 1996, the same year Kobe was drafted.. p.s. I f'n hate Mayweather BTW.. |

Even though I don't follow boxing, really good boxers will always be in the news so I knew who he was even if I didn't know how he looked like.

^ Exactly, do you guys who said no, not follow the news or somethin?
BDC- He's beaten the best every country has had to offer in his division, his record is 39-0. that's why. Last edited by Londoner; 02-26-2008 at 02:08 PM. |

Don't know what the f stands for, I assume you are talking to me. I follow the news, and said I heard his name before, but I really don't care all that much about boxing so anything I did hear I forgot about immediately. Also being a really good lightheavy wieght boxers still doesn't make you the best fighter in the world, just makes you the best lightheavy wieght boxer in the world. I'm not trying to knock him, just learn more. Has he beaten any heavywieghts, and follow up question to that, were the worth a damn if he did?

At first I figured you were going for a BigDaddyFool joke, but the C was still there and it didn't make any sence. But no harm, no fool.

I didn't, but maybe it's because I'm in the UK and only ever watch the Sports channels for WWE.
Maybe boxing is more of a big deal stateside, but the only boxing I usually watch is when I break out the Rocky movies. |

I knew the name, but not who he was, what he looked like, or what he had done. And I only remembered that I knew the name after hearing it at NWO. Kinda like "Yeah, I know that name..."
So I'll vote no. |

Well if you would've watched sky sports news you would've heard about the hatton/mayweather fight alot, im amazed you've never bothered to watch that news channel. |

Boxing isn't news.
And no. I heard his name in passing because I follow the NFL and NBA more than casually, but I didn't know who he was. |

Interesting, I thought he was well known in the US but it's possible that we here in the UK have had him rammed down our throats more. Do you guys know who De La Hoya is?
I just asssumed that with Mayweather being by far the greatest boxer in the hottest division in boxing meant he was very popular, especially in the States where you guys like your champs. |

Lol. Profiling aside, I think De La Hoya is sort of popular. He was on a Simpson's episode.

Well Mayweather beat De La Hoya with Jack Nicholson, Michael Jordan and that lass from Desperate Housewives in attendance. People like Michael Jordan...he was a good baseball player.
Do you guys know who Tiger Woods is? |
