Exactly my thoughts when I saw the thread title.
[Cas];11838173 said:But Ali was likeable, unlike Mayweather.
How much was he liked in his time? Was he seen as an egotistical arrogant sod, or was he liked as much as he is now, where people can see the mastery of his arrogance in a different light?

Ali had charm, Mayweather comes across as a *****.
They might totally opposite behind closed doors but thats how i see them and Mayweather's PR people don't seem to care.

I don't blame him for retiring, he's at the top of the world in the pound for pound ratings, has beaten virtually everyone out there and has more than enough dosh.
He is an arrogant person, but a lot of boxers are like that and a lot of the arrogance is shown in his pre-fight hype, so should be taken with a pinch of salt, he's just publicising the bout most of the time.
He's a brilliant fighter and I really hope he doesn't make an unnecessary comeback and rests on his laurels.

The greatest boxer of the generation, as close to unbeatable as we have seen since a prime Roy Jones Jnr IMO.
Most of the arrogance is just to sell fights, he always comes across as a decent person in the post fight interviews and very complimentary.

Cotto vs Mayweather needs to happen. I'm sure it will down the line. If Mayweather beat cotto there would be no question marks over his greatness.

1st thing I thought when I heard this was it's a money making exercise.

it wont be a ploy - he wants to keep his legacy
tell stories of how he was undefeated reinging champion
and has never been beaten
i think the fact of him beaing unbeaten is worth a lot more personally than to him financially
i know it would be worth more than money to me
bragging rights, etc
he was undoubtedly a great boxer and showed how far ahead he was when he fought the undefeated hatton abd showed him how to box - totally different class
plus he made like 10 million from wwe for doing some acting for 15 mins - that must have been his retirement fund
