    Why do you like/dislike Mayweather???

    I remember hating Floyd because i didn't see what was so great about him in the limited fights i had seen. But after routing for Ndou and losing then routing for Chop Chop and losing i started to come around. put in the two clinically astounding fights against bruslses and gatti and i was almost won over. **** i even remember want sharmba to defeat mayweather thinking he is a little to slow to catch him... I'm usually not a fan of the favorites but with pbf moving up fighting bigger guys and great clinical showing i was one over... hatton will be a somewhat hard fight

    mainly the fact that people rate him so highly when he doesn't have the attribute that i like ni a boxer. that's the killer instinct of ko'ing someone. it's the instinct to chase the fight and hurt the person.

    also the fact that he has a big mouth and isn't so charismatic as someone like m.ali was. i do not get on with that kinda person in real life.

    thirdly he's black. nah jokes

      floyd is the best boxer in the world.there is no one even close to him in skill,period,he was born to do this.outside the ring he's a prick.his proclamations that he's is better than leonard ali and robinson are far fetched.armstrong would wreck his ass period.if he had the hunger for glory that other fighters have he would be.

        If you're gonna talk ****, stay in there and trade. If you think you're the bigger bad ass and wanna open that **** Holster...Slug it out and see who's the bigger man. Sure, roll your shoulders, duck, feint, dodge, parry, whatever...but stay in there and see who's the bigger man. It's kinda like on a video game, RPG or Fighter game, and someone sees a weakness or there's no way out of a certain move, and the opponent does it over and over. Now you lost, but in a very BS way. Sure, they have the tactic to beat you, but it's mondo lame. In other words, damn he's freakin good, but a let down in some ways.

            Like: that he makes fun of mexicans

            Dislike: Doesnt use his talents to the fullest, zero aggression the ring for a long time. Makes outrageous claims.

              Are the Indianapolis Colts a bull**** champion because they threw the ball, and didn'r run it up the gut every play? Were the 49ers punks because they played the West Coast offense while the Bears and Giants had that "the yards and a cloud of dust" mentality?

              Playa, boxing isn't about who is the bigger man or harder puncher. It is about who can exploit the advantages and disadvantages to find their way to victory.

                Like: Boxing ability; Wilingness to move up through the weight classes. Brutalized Arturo Gatti

                Dislike: Makes contradictory statements. Gave Hatton a payday instead of Casamayor.

                  Yeah, I'd have to say I dislike him because he is so talented and has so much potential. He was definitely a lot more fun to watch earlier in his career at the lighter weights. I don't like his "best of all time" claims that he's been making for a long time now, either, and his fights are hyped to the moon, usually a 50 dollar ppv to watch, only to watch the same dull fight once again. I also don't like the way he gets away with so many elbows and pushing off with his elbow to create room to punch.

                    What I like about Floyd is his work ethic, he's always fit and trains hard. Imagine if DLH had Floyds work ethic through out his whole career.
