I read a column about him a few years ago, and I agree 100% with the quote.

"If Floyd played his cards right, he would have been near the Ray Leonard realm of popularity right now. Instead, hes about as beloved as Ray Lewis."
I dont think his out of ring popularity really bothers him... He has made a shiitload of money and has had tremendous success.

I have followed Ray Lewis his whole career albeit cleared of murder charges I think no matter how he was outside of football, the thing that I will always remember about him, is that he was probably the best middle linebacker to ever play the game or at least in the top 3
Ray Lewis became a great icon and man in and out of the arena. Floyd is no Ray Lewis, Ray matured and preach positive things to his surroundings. He doesnt go around and talk about how much money he is making or bullshiting. There is no comparison between the two.
