    I Have An Honest Question For Mayweather Fans.

    A lot of Mayweather fans seem to have the idea that the reason Floyd is so heavily disliked, is essentially because he's so great people just have to hate him. So why then was Whitaker, a far greater ATG, so widely loved by boxing fans while Mayweather is not? Shouldnt Whitaker have been much more hated? Without commenting on Mayweather, one of the main reasons I loved Whitaker was because he fought (and beat) everyone there was to fight.

    I know a lot of people who dislike Mayweather (obviously) and they all uniformly give the same reason which is basically, "He's in his prime and he's not fighting top competition". Some put it more disrespectfully than others of course, but that's essentially the universal criticism of Floyd.

    If you're a fan of Mayweather, instead of saying, "people hate Floyd because he's so great", isnt it more reasonable to simply accept the criticism as honest, and at times legitimate?

    This is a very simple, honest and straightforward post. What's wrong about it?

    They just wish Floyd was busting a nut on them. They are nutthuggers. I respect Floyds skills, but he is not as great as people say. He left to many question makes tho in his career. Cotto? Margarito? Mosley? Williams? and now Pacquiao?

    i think if he comes back, nobody should want to fight him, and tell him to stay retired. We dont need babies that retire when they feel a challenge is coming.

            But I think I've reasonably established that it isnt that fact that he's rich or black. So you're saying it's his controversial ideas? Which are what?

            You don't think it has anything to do with the reasons people actually give?

              There is a difference between Team sports and individual sports.

              Most posters who hate PBF are racist Hispanics or white supremacist. They hate seeing a young brother doing so well career wise and financially
