How do you feel about floyd mayweather

Floyd doesn't have the obligation to give every bum a payday just cuz he asks for it. He isn't running a soup kitchen. The only fighters he ought to give shots to are the ones who are skilled enough to be worthy to be in the ring with him, or the ones who can bring in the money he deserves to make (which is a damn sight more than $8 million). Margarito doesn't fit either of those categories, which is just too bad for him.

He put me to sleep and so are those who watch it live. They booed his ass.
If you call yourself the greatest of all time , at least put on an impressive performance against a bum like Baldomir and give the fans something to cheer about.
if you watch a basketball game, and lebron james has an open fast break, and stops and shoots the ball, does that make him less of a player?
the answer is no.
i like boxing for the art. im entertained by watching someone show skill rather than watch two knucleheads go dj slugo on each other

He retired, came out of retirement, and ppl just expect him to start all over again..... thats not the way it works

FACT: Floyd mayweather owned the 130lb weight class, with big wins over fighters like chico corrales(34-0), and jesus chaves(35-1)
FACT: He then moved up to 135, beating JLC with a torn shoulder, and successfully defending his title in the rematch.
FACT: He then moved uo to 140, where he took a much more offensive approach, brawling more than boxing, proving he can take asmuch as he can give. He beat the likes of demarcus corley, and dominated the no. 1 light welterweight at the time, Mr. Gatti. during this time, he was feard by the likes of miguel cotto (for obvious reasons) and didnt hesitate to call out big names.
FACT: in his first fight at welterweight, he scored a body shot knockout ove sharmba mitchell, a fighter who many thought would give mayweather all that he could handle. He then faced zab juda, earning a UD. Then came carlos baldomir, the only boring fight of mayweathers career. He won every round on every score card, and people didnt appreciate his performance. Then he faced ODLH for a titleat 154. Even though he came into the fight underweight, he still pull out a SD(only because ODLH landed alot of scoring punches, like that bull**** body attack).
FACT: HE KNOCKED OUT RICKY HATTON, AND THE IGHT WAS NOWHERE NEAR BORING!!!!!
FACT: The only time floyd didnt beat everyone in a single diviion, was when he was at welterwieght. The only time floyd was boring was against carlos baldomir. He didnt fight cotto, because cotto ducked him at 140.
OPINION: Anyone that says that floyd sucks, is completly ignorant to true skills, and does not understand the concept of the sport.
Now, feel free to say what u feel and express yourself. I just thought you should be schooled before hand.
-just like J.Hitter wisely stated
