I blame Floyd Sr. for Mayweather's personality problems

[sonofisis]

After watching 24/7 and hearing Mayweather talk about his dad, and seeing how much of a **** his dad can come across in just 10 seconds worth of footage, it doesn't surprise me Mayweather acts like such a child. His attitude has clearly been moulded by abuse. I think if Mayweather had grew up in the proper conditions he would probably be a lot more likeable. But then he probably wouldn't be the fighter he is. Just my $.02

Sorry about yet another Mayweather thread btw.

You must not have met anybody who grew up with dope fiend parents. Believe me when I tell you that Floyd is an exception. The guy's attitude isn't hardly as nasty as it could be and his "attitude" seems to be only towards his opponents.

Everybody has a choice...

We all have problems and scars...

Now.. How you behave is NO ONE'S responsiblity except YOU OWN...

Every single thing.. every single person does.. was preceeded by a CHOICE...

Floyd can only BLAME himself for any problems he might have personality wise..

You cant control how you feel... But you can ALWAYS control how you act..

i disagree. your environment, the people around you and your experiences are what makes you who you are. im not saying that mayweather is a victim here and thats why he is an ******* but i look at myself as an example. my fathers a quiet introverted type. he plays piano and is an engineer who does technical drawings. he's also a big gadget/tech freak. i just so happen to be piano player, who draws incredibly well and i could say im fairly introverted and also a lover of gadgets and geeky things. now those arent ******* traits anyone would be angry at me over but it just goes to show how you're affected by everything early on.

Floyds problems appear to be classical signs of frontal lobe damage. Irrationality, childlike behavior, Poor reasoning skills, impaired social judgment.

Floyd wasn't always like this.

^He isn't like that now and I assume that this is a joke.

What you said is true, but not the whole truth.

Yes, our environment does play a part in molding us, as do those that inhabit it, but at some point, we as cognitive beings must choose what is Right and what is wrong.

If Floyd had never experienced any other environment-which is impossible- then you could say he doesn't know anything else.

The truth is Maywaether chooses to perpetuate the sickness. He is an adult and fully capable of changing.

He chooses not to, and i find it hard to empathize with a man as spoiled and rotten as he is!

Sounds to me like he has The version of Floyd we all see.. Nailed...

I blame money and fame.

Let's face it, early in his career he was somewhat humble and a nice guy. Very intelligent in his interviews and understood the sport even early when he was a 8 fight novice.

He just dominated Genaro Hernandez and he was extremely humble. Showed the man alot of respect.

Then again, that was the first world title he ever won.

Money and fame has went to his head. It's that simple.

Yeah ..Of course.. I am sure genetics play a role in what you are saying also..

What I was saying is this... ONLY YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU BEHAVE...

Unless you believe in mind control.. you cannot find any flaw in my statement..

All other things will shape who you are.. I am not debating that..
I cant control HOW I FEEL.... BUT only I can control how I behave..

Floyd has the same choice.. and so do you

Anyways I sound like I am arguing when in fact I am agreeing.. Go figure..

Has it ever occurred to anybody that Floyd might have possibly been a crack baby or suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome. He has the symtoms of these diseases.

Lol, are you serious? Is there documented proof of that claim, or are you just speculating?
