There is no questioning his skill. But just being brash and a loud mouth for the sake of being JUST that, is pointless. Sure, Ali was a talker...but the man stood for something (whether you agree with his beliefs or not) and he created DRAMA in his fights. Floyd is a defensive fighter. That's fine. But he shouldn't sell himself and a fight as being more than that if he cannot deliver. That will sell tickets...but lack of drama loses fans. We can go into a long debate/discussion about his resume or whether he has been involved in "exciting" fights...but as it stands right now...20 years from now...will most people look back and truly remember any of his fights (MAYBE the Oscar fight)? You think of Ali...immediately you can think of so many memorable moments/fights. Same with a Leonard, Hearns, Duran...and in recent years Barrera, Morales, Pac...even Oscar! But whether it's his style, era, opponents, etc...Floyd has yet to provide lasting memories IMO. Is that completely his fault...probably not. Whitaker always said he would rather hit than be hit. So i never expect Floyd to thrill us with the warrior mentality of so many other fighters. I always appreciate his skill, but there are so many other fighters in recent years that have provided me with better memories.
