Does Floyd Get Unfairly Treated?

Floyd brought the hate upon himself. floyd only recently started acting like this but he was getting the hate way before he played the villian. every great fighter has hate any person ontop of their game has hate towards them no matter they good or bad.

PART 2 4- Floyd's Attitude. Floyd is now hated for the way he acts and his trash talk. Again, he's the only guy in the sport who is ripped for this. This sport has been known for that forever but yet he is hated for it. People love listening to Hopkins and others do it but they rip Floyd. They try to make the Euro's seem like good guys & heros but all of them talk smack. All Calzaghe does is trash talk. Have you guys heard the things Hatton and the Tszyu camp says? Pantera is loved now partly because of his trash talk. Everyone loved Mayorga when he came out but when its Floyd then its horrible. I just dont get that. 5- Floyd is boring. People wonder why the sport is dying but all you have to do is look withing. Our media gets upset that the America doesnt care about boxing but yet they constantly rip our best fighter and they rip all guys who fight like him. In every single sport Defense is praised and is the #1 sole reason for titles. In boxing it is still the biggest reason yet media & fans rip it. No one wants to watch boring guys like Floyd, Hopkins, Winky, & so on because they practice the art of boxing. To hit and not be hit. Instead of our media loving to see techniqal brillance, they instead call these guys boring, and basically right articles telling fans not to watch them or telling them that they will be boring to see. They love all these millions of one hit wonders who come in with a flash and are never heard from again after a few fights because all they had was a punch or Offense. Bottom line is the media should be boosting Floyd up and praising his all around game instead of calling him boring. My final thought is we are wintessing one of the greatest fighters of All Time wether you like it or not and we spend our time ripping him. In 20 years there will be kids hearing about his name and I bet anything thats when he will get his just due. When those people look back & watch his tapes. We get mad at the way he acts but yet dont take responsibility for creating him. If you treated him better then maybe he wouldnt rebel. Why does everyone have to smile & kiss your ass to get respected. This sport isnt based off that. He doesnt have to act like MJ to be great. If thats what it takes to sell tickets then I wouldnt want to see him do it. Its B.S. dope post i couldnt have said it better

Hey tech me again. People don't dislike him because he's good they dislike him because of his attitude. Plus his fights lately haven't been very interesting. Yeah, ive commented in this multiple times in many other threads. I judge Floyd on his Skills, not his character, I find him quite funny, I think he brings attention to boxing as a whole, Think ALL his fights are exciting, cos i think he is so skilled, Boxing will be worse off when the best fighter in the world calls it a day, people should remind themselves of this next time they see Briggs and Ibragimov on PPV. which will be very soon i believe, according to boxing 4 real, Cedric Kushner is doing it on PPV. lol.

When you are talented and back it up, people wont like you, Dont worry, when he quits after this fight and we have to sit through another Virgil Hill- Henry Maske 3 fight, the bitches are gonna start flapping their virginas again saying: 'boxing is dying, what we gonna do?' lmao. They massacre the best fighter in the sport to the point of retirement, and then wonder why boxing is being challenged by other sports. lol. Hey tech me again.

Floyd is far from the savior of boxing and if he did retire boxing would not go under. Boxing is gonna hurt when Oscar retires beacause there will be no more majo draw or anyone other than hard core fans that will watch. The casuak fan will not care to tune in after Oscar retires. There will be no more major attraction. After Tyson, it has been Oscar, and after Oscar stops fighting there is no one on the horizon

dlt, that was one of the greatest posts i've ever read. a lot people may disagree and claim floyd brought the hate on himself. well, to them, i say shame on them for senseless bullshit. nobody brings hate on themselves because they cannot make people like them or hate them. people will either like someone or hate them on their own regard. many people on this forum and in the media decided to hate floyd a long time ago before he became big. now, he's not afraid to stay true to himself, and sense many people on here and in the media cannot relate to to him, they choose instead to hate him for it. to me, that's because of their insecurities and naive selves. they are afraid to be themselves, and they rather portray this false image and cheer for guys with false images, and floyd can only be floyd. who wants to see and respect that? that's how these people seem to think. they disregard his accomplishments and legacy in boxing mainly because of his attitude and their envy towards his personality. DLT, read this carefully brother, do you notice how many posters on here make threads about how leonard, hearns, roy jones, hagler, duran, robinson, whitaker, and more would have killed floyd mayweather? i know you probably have seen these. people make posts about who can kill mayweather in the ring. he'll knock floyd out this, he'll knock out floyd that, and so on and so on. it's childish and pointless. it's just their way of coping with their envy towards him. floyd talks trash and that's fine, because he always backs it up. but many people don't like that, and find it disrespectful. floyd talks bad about srl and srr and claims he would beat them. that bold staement shows me that floyd never lacks confidence in himself and that's great imo. floyd claims he will be the best fighter ever. so what? every great fighter should say this. you're only on this world once, and you're in a competitive sport, and confidence is crucial to have, and floyd believes in himself tremendously, and that's nothing less than amazing. the man knows he is a unique talent, and he sells himself and his fights how a true champion should. i'm sure many people would make threads about who can beat mayweather and who would beat him. hell, with the amount of hate floyd gets on this thread, i wouldn't be surprised if somebody on here made one about don king beating floyd, or bob arum beating floyd, or bb king beating floyd. it's nonsense from many of you people. people talk about floyd's resume and how it's not a great one, yet, he is considered the p4p champion of professional boxing, and is regarded as the best fighter in the sport. you think he would have gotten this way from fighting bums. yet, many of you people contradict youyrselves a lot by claiming floyd is the best fighter in boxing, and then claiming he never fought anybody. that looks sill on you guys's part. many people claim that floyd fights scared and runs all the time. many of you people don't have floyd's career sets like i do. which means i have all of his fights in full. he has not always been too defensive in his fights. he fights very smart, and find a way to beat you, and a "boring" win is always better than a cool lost. this is why he is still undefeated and will continue to be after may 5th. a lot of you on here comment on his duclking of fighters like margarito and hatton and guys like lazcano and kosta tzyu. thi sis bullshit, he has called out all of these guys before and he's been calling out oscra for years, and oscar just like the rest, opted not to take the fight with him until recently. and oscra put a lot of stipulations on the fight, yet, he's a hero to many of you people. bottom line, the treatment floyd gets is unfair, because he has done so much for boxing, and he has been dedicated to his sport for so long, and has worked his ass off to get where he is now. he is a brilliant fighter and a crftsman in the ring, where it truly counts. Imagine that, you think this is the greates post coming from ther biggest Floyd nuthuggers. Coming from someone with PBF in there sig. Yea your gonna be objective about abnything that has to do with Floyd. Oh an let me tell you all the whining DLT is doing is breaking my fucking heart. That whole post was a bitching and whining fest. Its fucking pathetic.

I do believe he is treated unfairly, but i dont care.

Floyd is a great fighter no doubt....my beef is that he portrays himself as a useless member of a civilized society..... .............................

He made the choice to act like a jackass and said he will be the villian for De la Hoya fight to make it interesting but in reality its the real him and he is one cocky man. very true:biggthump :boxing:

I like him and think he is going to beat DLH, but I feel he gets treated like he probably should. He does stuff and acts a certain that many people don't like. Personally I don't like all the money flashing he does, but the other stuff doesn't bother me. Not everybody can be as professional as DLH, and I don't mind a guy who acts out of the norm or doesn't act they way people feel he needs to.

Ive never understood why people hated on this kid so much. It makes no sense. There are so many things that a ton of fighters do but yet Floyd is the only one who will get ripped for it. There are so many things wrong with boxing but yet they seem to blame Floyd for alot of it. 1- I always hear is that Floyd is an unknown. No one outside of hard core fans know him and he cant sell that big. Ive been reading alot of things about how big Oscar is to Floyd or how Sugar Ray was way more famous. That is so unfair. Boxing is far more dead now then it was in the 80's. Floyd may not be a household name everywhere but how many boxers really are? PPV has killed it and the media never covers it. Its not like Floyd is the only one. Then when it comes to selling "huge" numbers, how many fighters do that? No one sells big anymore and espically no Americans. People brag on these other fighters but there not even American. You have a much better chance of selling if your Mexican or PR. Still with that, Floyd's numbers compare heavily to even Mexican stars who are fighting eachother so they should be blowing Floyd out the water. There are alot of great fighters that no one knows but they never get ripped. No one knows Winky, X, Clottey, Casamayor, Chico, and whoever. Only a few guys under HW has been recognized since the 80's and there in or about to go in retirment. Stop ripping Floyd for that shit when its a total boxing thing. 2- Floyd vs All Time Greats. It makes me sick how now alot of the media rip him by saying how he would do against All Time Greats. What makes me mad is that most of the time they say guys like Hearns, Leonard, & Robinson would kill him. It is so unfair because Floyd has only had 3 fights at 147 and anyone with eyes could see that he wasnt a full fledge WW, yet these other guys ended up fighting at 160, 168, and 175. Its so stupid. Ofcourse there going to look like they can beat him when 147 was there prime weight, the weight they fought a ton of fights at, and the weight they were young & fit in. Floyd clearly hasnt looked like a real WW and I dont even think he's weighed 150 in the ring yet when those guys put on a ton of weight. Its not a coincedence how eyeryone use to say that he would do very well against all those past 130-140 guys but now they say those other guys would kill him. Be fair about it. Atleast give Floyd like 3 more fights to grow into the weight and then we can judge him. 3- Floyd's Resume. 1st everyone use to sweat it but now because they hate him so much they say he doesnt fight anyone. They always bring up Margarito which is a joke at best but lets go past that for a second. What really makes me made is when they say things like Floyd keeps moving up without fighting the top guys like Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, and so on. It makes no sense to me how the media can say that and keep getting away with it when its so untrue. He's tried to fight Hatton so many times and Arum wouldnt let Cotto near him. He tried to get the Mosley fight instead of Baldy but Shane wouldnt take it. He never gets credit for that kind of stuff. He's tried to get fights with a prime Naz, Freitas, and prime Lazcano, and so on but no one cares. If that was anyone else they would call him the most feared man in boxing. Ive also always said that he never gets the credit he deserves for moving up and fighting these huge guys. I still say that he's the smallest man in boxing yet moves up so quick. There is no other fighter who is consistently going into the ring at the weight limit or just a few pounds over. Floyd was just at 140 a couple of fights ago weighing only 145 in the ring while Oscar will come into the ring around 170 pounds in this fight. People praise guys like X, Tszyu, & Calzaghe for staying in 1 weight class. What if Floyd wouldve done that? He couldve in the last few years dominated legends like MAB, Pac, JMM, EM, Diaz, and so on. He would then have the best resume in history but that wouldve been the easy route. Boo Hoo :bottle: :gives:

If floyd goes toe-to-toe, like he says in every fight,....he'll get knocked the fuck out into retirement. if he didn't go toe-to-toe with baldomir, there's NO FUCKING WAY he goes toe-to-toe with DLH. haha and if he does, like u said, he'll get knocked out cold. but i really do hope he goes toe-to-toe at some point of the fight. that will be crazy.

If floyd goes toe-to-toe, like he says in every fight,....he'll get knocked the fuck out into retirement.

With Floyd it's just "ima do this and this and that blah blah blah and ko oscar" stfu floyd u gonna run for 12 rounds and make the fight boring as hell and make boxing lose even more fans i don't know whether the fight will be boring but i do know Floyd said he'd go toe-to-toe with oscar, during his press tour. now, i know FOR SURE that he ain't going no toe-to-toe with oscar. if he does and keeps doing it throughout the fight, i'll be lil Floyd fanboy for as long as he boxes. :boxing:

You guys don't seem to get the point of this thread. You guys are hypocrites because you like other fighters who do some of the same things as PBF... I love Miranda's trash talk cause when he says he's gonna knock you out, he really means it. With Floyd it's just "ima do this and this and that blah blah blah and ko oscar" stfu floyd u gonna run for 12 rounds and make the fight boring as hell and make boxing lose even more fans

1 - agreed 2 - somewhat agree. I do think fantasy match-ups are silly, but I think the talent pool in boxing has dwindled in the last fifteen years or so. There are less and less people interested in boxing, so you'll find less great fighters. 3 - kind of disagree. You can't say any of those people ducked Floyd. Those fights never happened, and we'll never know who's fault it was. Floyd and his team will say it was the other persons fault, and the other person and their team will say it was Floyd's fault. It's all political garbage, and I don't like it when people get wrapped up in it. That said, Floyd's resume is very good, but not from 140 and up. People are obviously comparing his resume to Oscar, and I do think Oscar has a better resume. He has some losses, but all of his fights are close, and he's the only fighter in his era, besides Holyfield, that really fought everyone that people wanted him to fight. 4 - disagree. I don't like trash talk, but with most fighters it just comes across as being self-confident or self-motivation. Floyd and a few others come off as insecure braggart juvenile assholes. Nobody likes an asshole in any sport. Floyd is simply stupid if he thinks people will like him regardless of how much of an asshole he is. 5 - agreed. slick defensive fighters are massively underappreciated (6) - Floyd is a great fighter and one of the best of his era. Regardless, he's an asshole, and that is not our fault. That is his fault. Did people's lack of appreciation of his defensive skills really push him to flaunt the wad of money he carries around and act like a child at press conferences? Floyd doesn't have to smile or kiss anyones ass, but it isn't a big stretch to ask him to not be a loudmouthed derogatory jerk every time there is a camera nearby. Floyd is not rebelling; He has an enormous ego and he loves to show off and act like his shit doesn't stink.

Floyd brought the hate upon himself. that's right his big mouth.....

He made the choice to act like a jackass and said he will be the villian for De la Hoya fight to make it interesting but in reality its the real him and he is one cocky man.
