    Would u like Floyd more if

    Would u like Floyd more if he showed more Humility like a Shane Mosley ,Dela Hoya

    would Floyd get overlooked talent wise if he is more like Oscar & Shane ,personallity wise ,would he have made as much Money if he was'nt as ebrasive as he is in interviews & press conferences & did he make a conscious decision to be like this because he thought his defensive style might not have appealed to the general Public /Boxing fan

    Mosley has always been a great Fighter & a Great Guy yet the Super Star spotlight evaded him for a long time

    i like watching Floyd but he is'nt at the top of my list of fighters i enjoy watching the most & to me it would'nt make a blind bit of difference wether he was a nice guy or not ,if enjoy watching a fighter it aint cause he cant fight a lick but he is a nice guy its because he is a talented fighter dont get me wrong i do like watching Floyd hes just not at the top of my list for fighters i enjoy watching the most

    just curious if Floyd could have ever been popular with general Boxing fans ,some people seem to hate the guy & use his ebrasive persona as a reason but i think some people just dont like him period regardless

    Let's put it this way, how many threads do you see about Shane Mosley? Floyd being who he is is what gets him all the exposure he is getting.

      Arrogance is working for Mayweather. I'd probably like him more but what Mayweather is doing is making him rich and famous.

                  He would be more respected if he were real. But because he is a phony who talks out of both sides of his mouth and arse, he is not as respected as he should be. People don't like fakes or phonies who lie. People like real people who shoot straight. maywether lies, he says he'll fight who the fans want him to fight, then handpicks. he says he'll fight Margarito if the money is right then hides for three months and handpciks a 35 yr old with 9 losses. He calls Cotto a punching bag then makes up a list of excuses why he won't fight him.

                  He is a great talent, smart business man, but he's a phony. and the great sport of boxnig is being disgraced by this fraud and his antics which have repulsed the likes of tried and true warriors Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Oscar De La Hoya, Antonio Margarito, and Miguel Cotto.

                    i agree to a certain extent i dont like any fighter to pick thier oponents & i dont think anybody could make a case that Floyd does'nt do that, as u say its smart Buisness sense but he wil not aquirre the legacy he has the ability to achieve it will however make him fat for cash

                    Floyd IMO has the talent to be one of the best 3/4 fighters in the world ever but he will never acheive it because like RJJ he has risen to the top & doesnt want to take the gambles anymore ,once u hit the Number 1 P4P List it is Cigar time unfortunately

                    the guy is a tremendous talent though ,i respect his ability to the max
