How can people believe in Floyd so much, he's...

This is great. This thread is about Floyd and his fans keep mentioning Pacman.

lol "If". Floyd "retired" because the competition was hotting up. Then he waits for the best to fight the best, lose their 0's, ruin one another, then comes back with all his excuses why he dont need to fight any of them. He didnt want an oscar re-match, cotto, margarito, williams, younger shane, floyds a pussyhole. I gather your attempt at changing the topic means you realise the stupidity of arguing that Mayweather retired to duck Pacquiao? Floyd wanted Mosley in 2000, when he was 28 or 29 and undefeated it's Shane's fault that they fought when they did. Paul Williams is still around to fight. Cotto and Margarito has been covered to death. With regards to Oscar, I wouldn't give someone I beat a rematch if they are demanding the bigger slice of the pie.

such a shady character. Especially when he's so greedy, not to mention arrogant and selfish. I don't want to hear excuses like he's a loving father. Those kids will learn nothing as long as he is there father. I wouldn't doubt one bit that he's an off season doper. People need a wake up call because Floyd is trash. People idolize him because he's like a rapper and wish they could live his life. are you a Manny Pacquaio fan??

the real question u should ask is why do people believe pacquiao can beat mayweather Pac's recent fights: Clottey - after a loss to Cotto Cotto - after a beating from Margarito DLH - After a loss to Floyd Hatton - After a loss to Floyd Diaz - After watching Diaz struggle to a razor thin decision over Morales who Pac had already KO'd twice. Marquez - Disputed SD Solis - Who??? Morales - Coming off a loss every time he fought Pac. Larios - Coming off a 3rd rd KO at 2 divisions lower. Barerra - 72nd fight, where will pac eb in 17 fights?

The guy's a total douche but I still love watching him fight.

You realise that if Mayweather didn't retire Pacquiao wouldn't be the star he is now? He wouldn't have gotten his fight with De La Hoya, he wouldn't be ranked pound for pound no. 1. Chances are he wouldn't get the Hatton fight either. He'd probably be at 135lbs or 140lbs now. you realize that mayweather retired so he didn't have to fight cotto, margarito, or williams. ya know typical all time great tactics.

It's common knowledge that floyd "retired" for 18 months to juice up cos he saw pacquiao knocking out everyone he had ducked in devastating fashion. Then he has the liberty to call out pac for taking ped's lol the power of the internet hey You realise that if Mayweather didn't retire Pacquiao wouldn't be the star he is now? He wouldn't have gotten his fight with De La Hoya, he wouldn't be ranked pound for pound no. 1. Chances are he wouldn't get the Hatton fight either. He'd probably be at 135lbs or 140lbs now.

People idolize him because he's like a rapper and wish they could live his life. Which one of those things that you stated HAVE TO DO WITH BOXING AND BEING IN A BOXING RING. I'll wait...

why are people so focused on his personal life and what he does outside of the ring, he is a BOXER NOTHING MORE, you don't know what type of father he is nor do you know how he act around his kids so it is unfair to just assume what type of father he is why do some fans feel they have the right to tell a Athlete how "he should act", Mayweather is only selling fights when he talks trash and does the things he do on HBO 24/7, most people know that but unfortunately it is a few people who are probably new to boxing who actually thinks that is really how he is all the time I think a lot of people hate the fact that he is the way he is and on top of that he is a great fighter and he continues to win, what you think about Mayweather means absolutely NOTHING, he has a lot more fans then he has haters obviously...THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE!

What a hateful thread, kind of funny though :haha:

Most of the items you mentioned in your post have nothing to do with what Mayweather is able to accomplish in the ring. In terms of his ring persona, I can agree with you somewhat, he isn't the most sympathetic of characters with his constant talk of paychecks and how much money he earns. In terms of ego, yep, he's got it in spades but then again so do many figures that excel in their given field. This notion that people that are good at things have to be likable is silly, the fact is Mayweather has managed to thrive despite many of the alleged shortcomings you listed. And your drug charge, well, let's just say... If people need to wake up it's to the fact that boxing is a sport comprised of many champions with amazingly different personalities, motivations and drives but at the end of the day let's measure them based on their skills and not the issues that easily enflame our tempers.

People idolize him because he's like a rapper and wish they could live his life. 1st off, most people like Floyd because of his boxing. If he was 0-41 and acted the way he does then no one would give a fukk about him. 2nd, you think he may be an offseason doper? Dont let the persona fool you. Its well documented that he goes to clubs but he has never ever takened a single drink or smoke in his life. The man is pure when it comes to that shit. You talking about rap but youre the one thinking that. Most of the hip hop people know that he doesnt drink, smoke, and he bust his ass to get where he's at. He comes off the plane to run at 3am. You cant knock that shit. Dont be one sided about it

well...there is a difference between a character and a real person...wrestlers in WWE don't really act like that...it's just their persona...their job to act like that...and no...wrestling is not real...

it's all an act for the cameras. floyd is a great person in real life. you see when he beat those women up he thought their were cameras around so he could portray his bad guy image but he was mistaken. just bad luck. can you imagine floyd beating women on 24/7 that would do 4 million buys guaranteed!

I believe in Floyd because he is a great fighter and in my opinion should be able to get the job done in the ring no matter who he fights. As for him as a man whatever everyone has their virtues and faults.

At the end of the day the guy is a fantastic boxer. I don't particularly like him as a person, but i admire his boxing. yup, can't deny the skills, but gorilla-dog's public persona is horrible. he might as well be a pedophile.

Through Floyd his children will learn the value of hard work which is more than most children pick up. I don't know where you get off slating the guy as a father, as far as I'm concerned you're stepping across a line. On the topic of arrogance, the world is a competitive place, no one makes it believing they are equal to those around them. You need to have the belief that you are better than the rest and that's why you will make it to the top unlike those who fail. On being greedy and selfish, I'm pretty sure the guy gives more to the community than you.

Excellent pure boxer, if he put his everything in his fights I would hate him much less.

hes a prize fighter and a great boxer
