boxing is not as big as it used to be here in the states. most sports fanatics know about floyd but unfortunately, boxing doesn't get as much press and hype as the other major sports. I think floyd is a cool guy. we grew up in the same city and he gives alot back to underprivalage kids and parents in the surrounding neighborhoods so i respect him...and yeah, he's a good fighter

he didnt have the fights that people will always remember plus he wasnt a guy people loved like jordan and woods floyd was just cocky adn always played the bad guy

Allot of people dont like him, and now that he cowardly retired to avoid fighting Miguel Cotto people like him even less. Hes an ego maniac.

Tiger woods and Jordan have way more fans and are much more popular.

Only ppl that don't watch boxing think he's rt up there. It's easy to 'dominate' your sport when you don't fight the top boxers in your weight class. Last year he takes the fight with Oscar 'I'm already past my prime' De La Hoya instead of fighting Antonio Margarito or Paul Williams. Then he goes to 'fight' the Big Show in that circus known as the WWE. Why not stick to legit fights and take a fight against Miguel Cotto? Oh w8 i know why. Cuz he's a B!@tch.

floyd has messed people up but hes overated he hasnt faught in so long i dont think. jordan was a legend he changed the game same with tiger. but boxingwise floyd is too afraid to move up in weight class to try and grab another title.

no he is not. Woods and jordan are considered the best because they took on and beat the best, they didn't duck opponents and welcomed competition with open arms. That is something mayweather who turned down Mosley, Cotto, De La Hoya for a second match, Quintana, Williams, Kostya, and Margarito will never know.

hatton and oscar helped him as they got a hugh fan base.

i was at hatton and floyd i was shocked at his fan base.

at the  wiegth the day before the fight  6000 hatton fans turned

up no floyd fans were are these boxing fan that the us have?? then the gods truth 100 kids turned up with flags and floyd banners. go to youtube you will see.

i no floyds the best today but when we talked to pople that came from the US they wanted hatton to win not all but most  did not like him.

so i would say no he is not in same class as tiger not even anywere  close.

id say  floyd is joe cole  and tiger is beckham if that.   but to us boxing fans yes as he is the best in the game so yes in that respect he is a hugh star.

boxing in the states is only rich tho the hotels as if you been you khow what vegus is about.

2.5mill is the best PPV  buys in the US there or there abouts NOW think  of the size of the US  to the size of  the UK our best PPV is 1.7mill. buys

i love the big fights in the US as no one does it like the yanks.

but take away pavlik and oscar then there is no boxer from the US who has a fan base. dancing with the stars gets over 20mill watching it  each week so yeh he is a star not tho boxing most will say here is that boxer dancing. but to us boxing fans he is a star tho being the best boxer pound 4 pound.

he has fans but tv fans as id love to khow how meny fans on here have been to see him fight  i understand its a lot of money and not calling you but how come they dont get behind

him.

if he was from the uk his fan base would well 70 80 90 .000

every fight there  PPV SALE are not much better than ours as we are as you say " a small island "

why dont they get behind there champions??

is it that he is black??

if he was from the uk  or any other country in the world he would be loved as manny is barrarer is same as hatton is..

so take the money away the BOXING  in the US  ??? its not as big as it seems.

No he is not up there with jordan, ali, woods, gretzky, or any known hall of legends... he's not even as good as rocky balboa, and he's not even real... floyd is a chicken... people in the US want to see a fight, not avoid a fight... plus, we want to see our moneys worth... he talks and say i'll fight toe to toe and trade punches... but in the end, he hits and run... or he uses his other technique which is hit, grab, and push... cmon, you've seen him do it all the time... i dont like that, and a majority of boxing fans dont like that too... only people who think his technique of hit, run, grab, and push is tight... which is only a minority of people... but floyd is not what this boxing nations needs.. we need more people like cotto, pavlik, another de la hoya ofcourse, pacquiao, and many others...
