DLT you overplay your part here. I'll read long posts from some posters, but since you've never proven to be a perceptive, intelligent, or valuable poster, I won't read your essays.
You should have read that one it was good thought out post.
Here is my response to what Ive read so far. I think that its fair to hate someone for the way they act. I dont have a problem with the way he acts but I could see how others would. Still, I dont think a ton of people on these boards are very hypocritical. I bet anything that alot of the same people who talk about the way Floyd acts are the same people who go to "football games in Europe" and act like a damn fool. Why do you people get mad for Floyd saying he is the greatest but you guys praise Ali for the exact same things?
Here is the #1 thing that I talk about the most when it comes to Floyd that I think is unfair and Ive heard it again alot in these responses. They talk about the way he fights and the guys he's fighting at WW while praising guys like Cotto, Margarito, Williams, and so on. I have always thought that was so unfair and that people dont look at the facts. The fact is that Floyd is P4P the smallest guy in boxing. He's not big at all. He only moved up for the pay day with Oscar. If Oscar wasnt around or was a smaller cat then Floyd wouldve stayed at 135 until now almost and finished his career at 140. If he had did that then no one would be clowning the way he fights. Also, people still keep acting like theyve only seen his last 2 fights. In his 6 fights before they he fought alot. Baldy & Oscar were just way too big for him. He shouldve really never even been in the ring with them. Sure he talks trash about going toe to toe but fighters lie about what there going to do all the time. When other people in sports do that they call it gamesmenship.
People praise the way guys like Cotto and them fight but its not the same at all. How many times have those guys fought someone bigger then them? Some of the times the guys are the same size and mostly every other time they are the bigger man and usually much bigger. You guys act like that doesnt change the way you fight? You guys think Floyd is going to fight a guy at LW or 140 the same way he does Oscar at 154 or Baldy who is basically a 154 pounder? He cant do it. Let those guys fight people 20 pounds bigger then them or move up to there 5th weight class and see how aggressive they look. If they dont box then they will get KO cold and early. Thats why they never move up. They like fighting smaller men but they call Floyd a ***** for the way he's fighting even though he's always much smaller then his opponent. Again, in his 6 fights before Baldy he was very aggressive.
Also, lets not act like Cotto took a pay cut to fight Shane because that is not true at all. Cotto hasnt even came close to having a good selling PPV while Mosley has put up big numbers. On top of that the fight is in NY which is basically Cotto's hometown. Cotto is a super popular boxer in the media and with fans but dont confuse that with sells just yet. He's not Tito. He got paid what he could get paid. He didnt take a cut at all
Good post it will be ignored by most of the haters though.
