Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition

[mikeeod]

I try to deal only with Floyd the boxer, not the person, but I gotta take a swing at the bankrupt comment.

When I lived in Atlanta, Holyfield was at the top of his game- and made some pretty good investments (so it seemed)-- from his own car dealership to helping the creation of an olympic center (I left before he finished it..,if he did.)

While he did buy a mansion the size of a shopping mall, he wasn't a wild spender across the board- even adding on the 8,9 or 22 kids he has, that didn't bankrupt him, alone.

My point is: Floyd makes investments in what? Making it rain in the strip clubs? I can only make it drizzle, but if I could make it rain, for what?

He buys cars & Jewlery, like normal people buys socks and drawz. Cars that I can only imagine him selling them off, when the IRS will do to him what they did to Holyfield, Ali back to Joe Louis.
Does he even donate to the right sources so he can deduct it come tax time?

Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Holmes & the great Walter Payton are examples of how Floyd can keep his loot & maintain a lavish lifestyle- - those guys invested in themselves and in land (property)-and not in the strip clubs or stock market or the hot thing of the day; google or some shit like that..

Only an opinion, but PBF will definately have money issues within 5 years of his retirement. He's too materialistic not to.

As far as PBF the boxer: Damn; 18 years and every style imagineable-he has faced & defeated.

Agreed with pretty much everything in your post until your last comment. Overall great post. Would just ask: what tall, rangy boxer puncher like Hearns or Vernon Forrest did Floyd beat? That is the one style I'm sure would give him fits. Good lateral movement and jab, with the threat of a big shot backing those attributes up. I would be interested to see Floyd vs a truly elite/great infighter also. Hatton n Castillo especially gave him fits. I wonder what an Aaron Pryor, JC Chavez, Duran or Armstrong would've done. Before guys accuse me of hating, not saying Floyd stands no chance or would definitely lose, just think they push him to either be as great as he claims or prove that he isn't.

What?! R U kidding me? What tall rangy fighter did he fight? He fought Paul Wil... Uh, okay he fought Antonio Marga...
Okay, looks like we have the same thinking when it comes to saying for whatever reasons...he chose NOT to fight PW & AM @ WW, when they were winning.
Maybe a blemish free record means more to thim than fighting the best...whenever.
