Just stopped being so ignorant, racist, materialistic, insecure, whiny......
Because then we could just enjoy him as one of the greatest boxers ever. His resume doesn't do him justice at all (and yes, it's his own fault).
I know lots of people don't care about his personality. And I have been able to disassociate the boxer from the man with other fighters - but I just can't with this guy, and will never be able to.
And I wish I could, because he is a true virtuoso; such an extraordinary and unique style, with probably the most perfect stance I can remember seeing.
Enjoy your success Floyd, appreciate it - and stop worrying about discrediting Pacquaio and playing up to some pathetic villain imagine. Just be classy like you were last night (apologising to Merchant was pretty cool) and represent boxing in a way befitting of this great sport and your own tremendous talent.
I've been hating on him a lot recently (because of the Costas interview and the recent rant). But last night and today, I get the same feeling I do after every Floyd fight - just a pure appreciation of his skills.
I know he's gonna squander my goodwill soon enough. But I wish he wouldn't.
He and Arum are together stopping the Pacquaio fight. I mean, let's face it, he beats Pac - so just take 50/50, make the goddamn fight, let the sport shine just for a little while.
