You say he doesn't impress you...well guess what...Floyd beating slow footed, slow punching fighters doesn't impress me either.
What are you even saying? Didn't I say at the beginning of this post that I respected ODLH's business sense? All boxers would like to be like ODLH outside of the ring, I SAID THAT!!! Read before writing. But a lot of ODLH popularity came from things outside of the ring like his charisma and his Mexican heritage. Hopkins was one of the best fighters of his era and it took him retiring for him to be accepted by mainstream public. This is EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!!! Some of you are equating ODLH's popularity to his boxing ability and that is not accurate. And who the fuck said that I'm impressed by PBF's win over Baldomir, I started a post called Boring!!! saying how I thought the second half of the Baldy fight was boring and a post saying what a big mismatch this fight was before the fight. What are you talking about? You're confusing ODLH business success with his ring success. PBF will never be a PPV draw because he's not really a charasmatic person, he's not a heavyweight, he doesn't have a brawler's style and he doesn't have the huge Mexican following that the Mexican fighters have. You need to learn about the boxing business before you start talking.
