    Well you gotta admit he has this tendency to be really evasive in the ring, and he does this to a fault. Viewers dont have all day to watch a fight you know, and if you're paid S10 Million at least throw 10 good punches man, you owe it to the fans.

      You wouldn't make it in pro boxing. You think boxing is going into the ring and showing just how durable your chin is. Well that's not boxing and those guys with that in mind don't last very long...

      I don't see floyd loosing any fans. His fight with hatton looks like its going to be the biggest ppv events in history.

        No I never said that boxing is showing how durable your chin is. I only said that boxing should actually consist of throwing effective punches, something Floyd is loathe to do, even if he was paid a billion dollars.

          I don't like Floyd because he is an obnoxious prick and he has the maturity and IQ of a 6 year old. I also can't stand the way he fights, he is very boring and he runs everytime he fights. I gurantee he will be running from Hatton right from the opening bell.

            Well that's a straightforward way of putting it. Brutally frank and honest.

              However if someone says Floyd is skillful and his ability to evade punches while landing accurate ones of his own would be considered nuthuggery in your book right? Everyone that doesn't agree with you you bash, which in turn makes you look ignorant.

                And u dont think that fighting a guy (Hatton) who has one, if not, the BIGGEST following/fanbase in the history of the sport has something to do with the magnitude of this fight? There were 38k ticket request from Brit fans. Just think about that. 38k fans were willing to fly half way around the world to see this guy fight! Floyd has been riding the coat-tails of popular fighters/opponents, then crediting HIMSELF as being the ppv star.

                I dislike him because he has become all bark and no bite. He talks about how he is going to get in the ring and whoop so and so's ass, then ends up fighting as if he doesnt wanna break a damn nail. If thats the type of fighter you are, then cool, just say it. Just dont go around acting like your some sort of killer, when in fact, your a passive/safety-first fighter who would rather cruise to a safe points victory, as oppose to utilizing your full potential and closing the show in impressive fashion, all the while giving your fans thier money's worth.

                His behavior when in front of the camera's is quite embarrasing. Why does he feel the need to count money during press conferences??? Typical case of "im rich and dont know how to act" There are plenty of past and present millionaires in the sport, yet u dont see any of them acting like a complete ass the way Floyd does. I remember during an interview with Brian Kenny, Brian asked Floyd a question that he felt uncomfortable with, and Floyd responds with something along the lines of "Brian, i make millions. What do u make? I make more in one night than you would in your whole career" LOL. The question had absolutely NOTHING to do with money, yet Floyd feels the need to use his financial status to defend himself. His fanclub, also known as the "Floydboyz" would say that its all an act. Thats bull****! The Floyd that we see on camera, is the real Floyd Mayweather. A brash, classless, insecure man.

                With all that said, i do respect his dedication to the sport, and the skills the guy posseses.

                      Bitter? Not at all. Hatton put it best when he said "If i ever act like that guy, somebody please shoot me"
