If Mayweather Would Have Been Knocked Down....

thats not why he is disliked. you guys know why, but it seems like you're trying to make the critics out to be something they are not. Anything other than your typical HE DUCKED COTTO AND MARGARITO AND HE RUNS is probably not acceptable to you, a pool of opinions is better than the usual garbage and drivel plaguing this board.

Of course, people like1 people who are just like them...loosers. fact: There wouldn't be haters if there weren't winners. e.g. I tend to hate on Tom Brady because he continuosly beats my team. Understood.. I do the same to anyone who beats the ravens/eagles I get all pissed talkin bout trades lol... But yea its suprising that most people were honest and said it was Mayweathers Mouth that made them dislike him.. and not his "lack of skill" ... i can understand that. WELL OK I WAS JUST WONDERING EVERYONE.. WE CAN LET THIS FADE NOW... SINCE WE ARE ALL HEAVILY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COTTO MARGARITO MATCH UP TONIGHT...!! GOOD LUCK BOTH SIDES...

:bs2: If Hatton had somehow won that fight --- how much good sportsmanship do you think he would have shown? Floyd gave Hatton more than he deserved after the fight. Hatton was on the offensive from promotional round 1. Quit playing the victim for your idol. Hattonite. Yeah. In 24/7 when he driving in his car and he say --- "I don't fucking run away like he does" --- real tongue in cheek. Hatton was never genuinely emotional about his grudge with Floyd. Who cares? He trash talked Floyd from promotional round 1. And he paid for it. Hatton wouldve shown the same sportsmanship. Kostya Tszyu whacked him twice in the bollox in their fight and you couldnt see a more sporting ending. I dont think he was gonna care about a few schoolyard insults from Mayweather. Whether Floyd would have taken defeat well is the real question. Why are we talking about Hatton - Floyd? You really need to get whatever issue it is you have with Hatton off your back.

ok didnt wanna make it an arguement between fans... JUST WONDERING IF IT SEEMED HARDER FOR MAYWEATHER TO ACHIEVE WHAT HE'S ACHIEVED WOULD IT BE EASIER TO EXCEPT HIM RETIRING? /... NOT FIGHTING COTTO IN FACT. Of course, people like1 people who are just like them...loosers. fact: There wouldn't be haters if there weren't winners. e.g. I tend to hate on Tom Brady because he continuosly beats my team.

Floyd did come out with a humble persona early in his career,the fact that you DIDINT know that early in his career he was a pretty humble guy speaks volumes about his change in personality and how its worked for him EXACTLY...Trying to make sure his dad don't eat baloney sandwhiches and ish lol... I give him credit, he's smart inside the ring and outside it. But his insecure character wrecked any chance he had at being remembered as a great. His boxing was never going to see him remembered (his style is too boring) but he could've been remembered for his personality. Alas, he'll be remembered for neither. Like it or not He will be remembered... Especially if he stays undefeated... "He left before anyone could beat him" Even in Cotto's stories it will say "His toughest fight would have came against someone who retired." anybody claiming floyd gets hated on more than anybody else needs to quit bitchin.I'll never be an incredulous fan boy like many here who claim TO BE ABOUT TRUTH AND SHIT.setting up E-gangs and shit.:rofl:it never ends with these jokes. Its ok man... The jokers dead and isn't coming back.. Don't take it out on FLOYD.

I think this is one thing about Mayweather that some people who only started following boxing in 2004/2005 dont realise, Mayweather fought allcomers in his early career without the arrogant persona that we all came to know today but it got him NOWHERE....He saw how NAZ(Because Naz was arrogant and talked shit) was getting all the accolades at the time with a big contract from HBO..adidas etc and must have thought wait a minute......Maybe i need to trashtalk more to get the attention that i need. remember when there was talk of NAZ moving up to face floyd? that would have put floyd on the map much earlier if naz would have beat barrera.

Floyd did come out with a humble persona early in his career, infact he would often disown his own fathers trashtalk comments before a fight as a way to seperate himself from his fathers goading of opponents to his own humility and keeping his mouth shut. It didint sell him tickets, and it didint get him any more exposure/popularity. It wasnt until he became the asshole you know today is why you all pay attention to him like you do, the fact that you DIDINT know that early in his career he was a pretty humble guy speaks volumes about his change in personality and how its worked for him I think this is one thing about Mayweather that some people who only started following boxing in 2004/2005 dont realise, Mayweather fought allcomers in his early career without the arrogant persona that we all came to know today but it got him NOWHERE....He saw how NAZ(Because Naz was arrogant and talked shit) was getting all the accolades at the time with a big contract from HBO..adidas etc and must have thought wait a minute......Maybe i need to trashtalk more to get the attention that i need.

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING When you are in the limelight the way you present yourself leaves and impression on people and how they think of you. Floyd jr if he came out with a humble persona early instead of this flashy thug idiot persona and disrespectful narcissist shit he would of been famous way way earlier.

Are you Joking? He and his family stated numerous times that Floyd is not really like that.Did you see the way he embraced Hatton affter the fight and how he has done that to all the fighters he fought.There always has to be a good guy and a bad guy if not than no intrest will be put into the fight by the fans.Mayweather is a smart buisness man as well as a smart fighter.Hatton is the one who called out Mayweather and talked nearly just as much shit as him but he gets praised as a hometown hero. Right cos his family say he's a nice guy, it must be true.... His own father thinks he's a twat. All fighters embrace after the bell. Thats part of the game. Im not really concerned about how he treated Hatton, even though its uncalled for. Hatton talked shit to retaliate and even still, it was tongue in cheek, Ive never seen Hatton trash talk anyone else. Its the constant proclaimations of greaters, delusions of granduer, his self-importance, greed and money-driven persona that annoys people about Floyd. Hes not a real person.

Hey man I'm a mayweather fan... I'm just wondering why he is Honestly Disliked so much... I think mayweather won the first castillo fight.. but the way you addressed it probably would drive some other fans away from other mayweather fans or even mayweather prally. But anyway Yea i want him to fight cotto too.. but then marg w ill want his shot.. then hatton wants his remathc then oscar wants his then berto thinks he's ready.. then Castillo is coming back for a trilogy... and so on.. know wha i mean. It has nothing to do with the way he fights, it has to do with the way he acts. He runs his mouth, and fights like a bitch. If you are gonna run your mouth you gotta fight like Mayorga. If you are gonna fight like a bitch, you better be quite.

The only people who didnt know Ali was a charmer and joker was the KKK and white supremes. and Joe Frazier. Ali was loved world around because alot of what he did outside the ring, as well as When Ali Said he was the best, and someone would say, "no, theres this guy who could beat you" ali went and beat the guy. People love a champ, even if he's a talker, if he backs up what he says.

oh most definitely. if those things happened, it would have brought more excitement to those fights and that's exactly what everybody wants from mayweather. but that still doesn't save him from not fighting cotto imo.

I honestly concider Mayweathers Style, boring like a really good ChessMatch, or a defensive game of football with only a field goal scored. I loved watching Mayweather fight, sometimes i was rooting for him, sometimes against him, My Only Dissapointment was I don't feel like he ever really proved to me he was the best, and I think if you're going to make that claim you have to prove it. A flawless record doesn't make you the best in my mind, Hagler comes to mind, when he lost, he came back and avenged the loss,

Ali was a charmer and clowner he made folks laugh and you KNEW he was joking. Not everyone knew he was joking, and I'll give you that Ali's antics were significantly more charming, but they were also to sell tickets, and I honestly think JR's antics are to sell tickets as well (without getting all freudian about it) I think the Reason why ali will be remembered forever, and mayweather will fade into oblivion is Because of the level of competition

Well you got ur opinion. Only real boring fight Floyd had was against Baldomir. His fight with Oscar wasn't a great fight but it was a good chessmatch. I don't think the Hatton fight was boring. His style cud be boring but only 1 or 2 of his fights have been IMO. Mayweather was boring in the Hatton fight, Hatton made the fight what it was.

I'm afraid he is an extremely boring fighter. He has gone DOWN in weight class and still backpedals. I don't hate him because of his personality, I feel sorry for him, he's an insecure broken character and no amount of money will change that. Well you got ur opinion.

Floyd jr has spite in his heart he hates his father, even in retirement he insults boxers as bums, has no respect what so ever The funny thing is, in reality, he isn't a spiteful character, he doesn't hate his father and he does respect other fighters, but he's incapable of showing any of this to the public eye and will be remembered how you described him.

anybody claiming floyd gets hated on more than anybody else needs to quit bitchin.you just see him getting criticized.just about every top fighter with the exception of marquez and pac for the most part gets criticized.everybody has a bias.personally i don't defend fighters who claim to be better than legends who gave us some of the greatest fights and rivalries we've ever had.ali had more skill than any heavyweight ever,yet he manage to be more than just a mouth.i respect game i don't respect mouth that don't back it up.floyd is one of the most talented fighter ever i love to watch him fight.then again I'm a boxing fan with an affinity for many different types of fighters.I'll never be an incredulous fan boy like many here who claim TO BE ABOUT TRUTH AND SHIT.setting up E-gangs and shit.:rofl:it never ends with these jokes.

When one of those guys jumps 2-3 weightclasses, let me know if they stand toe-to-toe and duke it out. Gatti and Castillo would and they didn't have much success in higher weights. Almost every1 who dislikes Floyd is bcuz of his attitude and personality. He's not extremely boring. He's really jus cocky as hell and runs his mouth. I'm afraid he is an extremely boring fighter. He has gone DOWN in weight class and still backpedals. I don't hate him because of his personality, I feel sorry for him, he's an insecure broken character and no amount of money will change that.
