How do love Pernell Sweet Pea Whitaker but Hate Floyd Mayweather??

[C.Y.]

everyone seems to love pernell whitaker
granted he's an amazing fighter with a great defensive style
but everyone hates on mayweather
and they hate on his defensive style
even though mayweather has showed thru his career even more so then whitaker that he's been willing to engage in high action fights and mix it up from time to time
i don't get it?
why so much hate?

I like'em both. But Pernell isn't as brash as PBF. He said he's better than (both) Sugar Rays and other legends and yet failed to get the boxing fans the kind of excitement the past greats was able to give is probably why he's not that well liked.

Pernell was basically hated almost as much as PBF back then.....but the internet was not as available to the masses as it is now.

Yup. These days, we look back on Pea's career and only see the wins and the un-biased commentating.

But news snippets and whatnot spoke otherwise about Pernell.

On the thread's topic: I like both fighters. Pernell was just more skilled (imo) and fought EVERYBODY.

i dont hate PBF in fact i like him a lot...(i dislike the PBF that fought Baldomir and DLH, though...)

but i like pernell more because IMO he was more skilled and fought and beat everyone...

sweat pea is just about as good as mayweather, except he wasnt as ****y and brash, which is why people like him. floyd jus lets everyone know how good he is (which he is) and people hate him for it cuz he IS that good...

People primarily hate Floyd because he is brash and arrogant.

Me? I'm a fan of a sport where guys are punching each other in the head and trying to cause temporary brain damage. A little bragging doesn't bruise my feelings. I'm not that sensitive.
