I liked Floyd since the first time I saw him fight, in 97 when he Kod a mullet by the name of Jerry Cooper. I did find a dislike for him around Hatton-retirement- Marquez fights but looking back, I was buying into the media hype at the time. I dont really think he's as bad a guy as a lot of people think. He is brash, extremely arrogant, not very classy, and his values are pretty di$torted. However, he does seem to have a lot of heart, and he loves being around people, like his family, and his money team.
With that said, he's an egotistical bastard that needs to be taken down a few notches via ass kicking. There's no denying he can be a prick(Harris went all 12 tho) and he continues to duck Pacquiao. I lose some respect for him because of that, but he's still the most skilled fighter I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. So over all, he's a ok with me.
His fanatical fanbase is a big one among others. There's a reason they're regarded as the worst fan base in boxing. Of course there's the woman beating, the racism, the extreme levels of ducking, and rather than acknowledging that he's just a bad person they claim it's part of his "money" persona. "We only hit women for TV doe." :lol1:
Personally...no one on this site knows him personally. I think you, as a person, are border line ret@rded for making this thread.
Did not know hitler personally but i know he was a ****ty person
Discuss. Explain. :boxing:

I love lil Floyd he does a lot for charity.
But is your first option puddy cat? Yes I don't like that hes a ducking cherry picking boxer. And I think hes given far too much credit for what he actually does.
He doesn't have to fight any p4p fighters and his next fight confirms that, he fights who he wants to yet is p4p no1, that is my main and biggest beef. As well as spending so many years when he was p4p no1 not fighting, and only fighting before he plans to retire.
And then his fans say has any fighter been 19 at the top unbeaten. Get outta here with that then I like Floyd.
He's no Muhammad Ali,Rocky Marciano,Joe Frazier,George Foreman,Archie Moore,Jake LaMotta,Sugar Ray Robinson,Roberto Duran,Mike Tyson etc...
He's the greatest welterweight/ little middleweight boxer of the era plain and simple. Don't forget what he really is first and foremost ppl,hes a great faker.
He chooses to be the villain. He gives off an ego of self centeredness and supreme arrogance. He doesn't appeal to the blue collar and everyday ppl of the world,because of his i'm so untouchable persona.
Basically he's not a real,everyday humble type of person and so because of this lack of realness he'll never be one of my favorites in terms of who would i wanna chat with and shake hands first in a room full of boxing greats.
He's not the peoples champ and basically that"s why but you cant deny his skills.
