why people hate floyd

floyd is a business man, and business men look for situations where there is a low risk and high gain, thats why he wont fight margarito or cotto, too much risk and very little gain. I dont know who said it but it fit perfect for floyd they said he was " sugar ray leonard with no balls". he has all the skills but no heart thats why he is hated, in the boxing world people love fighters, boxers who will take a chance at getting k'od so they can inflict harm as well..( thats why they love dlh...even though he should retire he rarely ever put a boring fight... as well as trinidad... etc).

In short, I dont think floyd is a top draw .... he fought de la hoya in his hometown of las vegas and the crowd was overwhelming pro - de la hoya.... he fought ricky hatton and again the crowd was overwhelmingly hatton. floyd has put himself in the place where the shine is ( 30,000 people showed up to dlh fight a nobody and 55,000 people went to see hatton fight a nobody as well i dont think floyd could do that by himself)... but wasnt the actual cause of it. Now i dont totally want to bash floyd because he has tremendous skill and is the best fighter today .... but not of all time. thats why I believe people hate floyd .......

.......totally disagree

You can only base your record upon the guys you've fought. Floyd at 130-135 fought the best guys that were available at the time for him. I mean you can't say Castillo and Corrales were sub par opponents. Though the 1st Castillo fight is questionable, he still pulled out a victory and went on to win a second fight with Castillo which was a lot more lob sided, and he made Corrales look out of his league.

The reason Floyd is hated now by so many critics, boxing analysts, etc is because he's put himself on this pedestal after beating Oscar that grants him nothing but big money fights. Now of course, that's totally understandable and well deserved for Floyd.

But where the problem lies is with the decisions he's making now as the self proclaimed "Draw". Once De La Hoya became the draw he still continued to fight the best guys out there. He was the figurehead of the sport as Mayweather is today. But it's obvious Mayweather's camp are choosing the best fights possible for him to look good in. Call it great managing, but most Boxing fans don't see it like that.

I believe if Floyd would fight guys like Mosley, Margarito, or Cotto it would make him that much better and more respected. If you're the draw, then fighting those guys won't be an issue cause the check is gonna be there AND he will get the bigger purse, so really...why doesn't Floyd fight the best if he is the best? It ain't like he's 42 yrs old.

That's a helluva of a ****ing post. Well said.
