floyd is losing his head........

[nezahualcoyotl]

Its called 'charisma', but you are correct. A natural charisma can help you avoid a lot of the pit-falls that many boxers who JUST come looking arrogant cannot seem to step over.

Very true.

I think he's promoting the fight very well and DLH better be in fcking gud shape b/c I want him to win! I believe PBF will stick with his same game plan and fight the way Mosley fought DLH...that's how you beat DLH...just follow Shane's gameplan and if PBF wins he should give Mosley a lot of credit and a shot at the belt too. Really this is all business and after the fight DLH and PBF will be the best of friends and probably go on to make another partnership. Its sad what's happening to boxing today, but it is a business and money must be made to keep sponsors and fighters and fans interested in the sport...just look at what MLS is doing with David Beckham.

I'm just hoping to watch the fight for free and get a nice buzz in the process.

Some guys just don't have the public personna. Plus I don't know if you guys remember but Ali was not well liked. Many referred to him as Clay well after he changed his name. But his bravado now in retrospect is endearing. I think Floyd is trying to do his public part to build up his fights, but is just out of his element and doesn't come off well. And while charisma doesn't win fights, yeah I agree, that a win over Oscar doesn't come close to sealing the deal for him. His personna costs him and he's going to have to do a good bit more, IMO.

yup i do hope floyd leaves boxing for good,

why do you think people hate on him ?????
not because he does not work-out or earn his money,
we all know that pbf trains 24/7 regardless whether he is fighting or not,
he just loves the sport, if you the best don't try to push into people's head,
he needs to shut the ****-up if he does that he will earn his respect

you need to shut the **** up. floyd talks ****, so the hell what. it comes with the territory. who cares? i've been apart of the forum for several months now and majority of what i've read is name calling, insults, bashing, criticism, and other negativity of floyd mayweather jr. he can't hurt this. he can't hurt him. he's overrated. he will lose. yada yada yada. it's the same ****, different day. recycled posts bashing floyd is really taking away from the esscense of this forum and boxing as a whole. many of you people on here have shyed away from how he performs in the ring, to how he gives interviews and how he acts. and when you do comment on the things he does in the ring, it's usually negative. just because you never officially type in "hate" when you post arguments on floyd doesn't mean the base of your posts aren't hateful, because most of them are. you people can *****, complain, and whine for the rest of your lives about floyd mayweather, and it will hold little to no merit if floyd continues to rack up victories against his opponents, no matter who you people find to be top calibur or not. you will have no choice but to stay angry but the numbers don't lie. the man is undefeated and for good reason, because he has been for years and is still the smartest fighter in th esport of professional boxing today, face it. hate it. envy it. worship it. whatever you want to do. but you will have to deal with it, and if your idea of dealing with it is bashing his legecay, then that's your deal but with all of the hating, you will never take away from his legacy, because he is the best fighter in the sport and there isn't anything you can do about it except hate it, and that's fine, because heat won't make floyd lose or win, smartness will.

Your an idiot and a statement like that shows you don't know **** if you think that is gonna happen. I'm not even gonna argue with such a ridiculous statement.

ok i'll accept of floyd being pfp king but i would never write under my name that i suck on floyds **** like you did...

mayweather is the most talented fighter fighting today, his speed and defense are at a level rarely seen. he has the potential to be truly great if he stays on track. that being said, his behavior outside the ring is that of a 13yo. he may be the worst self promoter of all time. with his talent he could have made 4 times the money hes made so far, on endorsements and paid appearances alone, but because hes a jackass hes cheated himself out of all that money and prestige that comes along with being a sports icon. unfortunately for him he comes from a culture where its cool to be a pimp and scatter kids with all your hos and selling drugs is krunk. if he had the benefit of being raised by a real man things might have been different. instead he got stuck with a drug pushing father with whom hes had a

Yup. I was going to say this too.

Floyd trains his ass off. Wins every fight. But what do people do? They hate on him.

"He doesn't come to fight, he just boxes and moves" What bull****. These same people and Writers hate on Mayweather, but praise
the "Great" Willie ]"I don't knock anybody out" Pep.

All people do is complain. This is why I hope Floyd does leave boxing. **** people. Don't give them the smile they want by seeing you get old and finally lose.

yup i do hope floyd leaves boxing for good,

why do you think people hate on him ?????
not because he does not work-out or earn his money,

Really?

Tell that to Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.

Robinson was supposedly the most arrogant ass of them all.

well that is human nature i bet after floyd retire few year people would say he was a great champion and after he is old and maybe died in 50 years they say he was underrated blah blah blah...etc

but part of human nature it envy and to critise other people success. i not floyd nothinger but i respecat him as a champ it weird the he fought Castillo the second time and beat him and people still say he lost the 1st fight. well DHL could be the most gifted person in boxing and people love him now could be the retirment thing going on even Hopkins did stuff worst than Floyd by dropping the PR flag to the floor and now he is a hero.

so maybe that is why Floyd is going to retire for a while and comeback could be the answer to get some love.

other fighters to is Duran, Whitaker, Pryor are where hated in there time and now they a cool and sometimes i think abit ovverrated.

another part of the human nature is they alway want to see people suffer and humilate proof that shows like Jackass and even Amercain Idol is alway popular and when Amercian Idol didnt critise people stopped watching that much

This is the same **** he first tried with CORRALES he must have thought it worked because he used it 10 fold with GATTI,then he tried it with JUDAH and JUDAH didn't do any publicity if it involved being in contact with MAYWEATHER,his reasoning was that he is making all the money why should I sell the fight.Then at the weigh-in when MAYWEATHER started his **** JUDAH and him got into a shoving match and had to be seperated.Now he has taken it even further with DELAHOYA.I,ve followed MAYWEATHER'S carear since 98 and I believe when he feels truly confidant he doesn't resort to this stuff.against CORLEY,BRUSSELES,N'DOU,MITCHELL even BALDIMIR he was very polite and everyone said how MAYWEATHER had finally grown up.I believe that it isn't just coincidence that he acts this way,I believe when MAYWEATHER faces a puncher or an opponent he views as dangerous in some way he uses these tactics to get in their head and have them start doubting themselves.I
