Seriously. This guy barks like a pit bull, yet bites like a damn chihuahua. My question is: Does Floyd have the right to complain about the criticizm he recieves, if this is the way he acts? He talks about how he's going to "Ice this fool", and "whoop so and so's ass" Then come fight night, he chooses to dance and potshot his way to a boring points victory.
So once again. Does Floyd have the right to complain about the criticizm he recieves, given that he often misleads and lies to the boxing public?
Ok, with that said, does he have a legitimate reason to complain when people criticize him for "talking the talk" but not "walking the walk" come fight time?
in the sport of boxing, not really because guys promise alot of shit all the time that doesnt happen. in sports like football/basketball etc, those are team sports in which the team name alone can do it all for you, but in boxing all you have is you and fake promises can generate alot because its up to YOU and YOu alone to do it.
I'm not a big Floyd fan, I'm a fan of boxing. Yeh I loved to watch Tyson, Diego Corrales, Mayorga, Miranda all great exciting sluggers and fighters. However, all of them were defeated by better BOXERs and I enjoyed watching the boxers dismantle them just as much. If you hate Floyd because he talks a lot of isht fine. If you don't like his style and you don't consider it entertaining fine. As a true fan of boxing you have to give him credit for his skill and achievements in the ring. All these threads that are simply hate threads with no real boxing facts in them and just hate, only serve to reduce the credibility of these boards. If you feel the need to start a thread criticizing a fighter that's all good but bring some boxing knowledge to the party calling someone a runner, coward, etc. only shows your ingorance. Anyone who gets in the ring let alone a 6 time world champion deserves that respect.
The problem with Floyd is that he's a businessman first, boxer second, fighter third.

Most of Floyds fans only support him because he succesfull and flavour of the month etc ,the Floyd fans who do have eliegence to him would never admit that he is a boring fighter albeit with alot of skill because they are so deluded and very talented
if they are interested in watching PBF perhaps they should consider watching Bowls or Cricket cuase that is the kind of Drama u see in PBF fights
if you don't like the fact that fighters have people around them to pick opponents you should look for another sport, because almost everyone does it today.
nah, not from jersey, but my parents and the rest of my family are. njd baby!
jersey is a good state for boxing.
it brought us dwight qawi.
the camden buzzsaw, now that was a true beast in there.

i honestly don't care if floyd thinks he doesn't get his props. i have no allegiance to him.
he's not gonna change his style at this point in his career. you're never gonna see floyd stand toe to toe and trade with someone, so i guess i'd say it's the public's fault for buying into his hype.
i'm not a huge floyd fan, so i have no probablem saying he's not a real exciting fighter. but he's ridiculously talented, and people overlook his skill because he talks shit, had a carefully managed career, and he doesn't have a real crowd pleasing style. none of that takes away from his disgusting skills or achievments.

Thread Stealer.. do you understand that having all this "Vitali" footage only shows how upset he makes you feel.
1:0 Vitali
:owned: BIG TIME!
quitali did not own "Big Time".
he didn't even get into the ring with "Big Time".
instead, he pulled out like he always does, and jameel gave peter hell, while quitali sat at home and watched the fight and his groupies only dreamed that quitali could have the accomplishments of his little brother.
I'm don't even know why I waste my time responding to your bullshit. Vitali is the 2nd best HW on the planet with the last name of Klitschko and everyone except your dumbass self know that Vitali is a beast and he can beat up anybody on the planet. He only has injury problems because of his days as a World Champion Kickboxer, he has had to adjust to a different style in boxing and it has taken a tool on his legs. Vitali will be back though and he will beatdown anybody that gets in his way.
the bolded part is correct.
a beast who can't make it thru training camp. :rofl:
yes, great stats like a high ko%. that's nice. now tell me about other stats such as:
his record against ring ranked top 10 heavyweights: 3-2
how many of those were 3 were not fat, old, and old and fat: 1
how many of those 1 were not named danny williams: 0
but he was a beast with a great ko %..lol.

floyd can complain but bored viewers have a right to ignore him or not buy his fights.
i didn't bother watching the ppv for baldomir b/c i knew it would suck.
floyd whines too much but i'm used to in when it comes to pro athletes
Will you drop this lame Quitali shit, VITALI Klitschko is a beast and he has the greatest KO percentage of all time. You're are obviously jealous of him, all you do is make hate threads everyday about him.

floyd is marketing himself and his fights. why is that so hard to understand? what's he supposed to say? "i'm gonna steal rounds late and look to do just enough to win the fight. i probably won't knock him out." no one would watch if he said that. how man people watch floyd just because they hope he gets his head knocked off? plenty.
he's just selling his fights and his image when he talks smack, which he has to do because he is not a particularly exciting fighter and does not have great power above 140.
Well at least you admit that.

quitali and wlad get down like that, but only for publicity boxing photos on the beach.
