    finally some one gets it.

    i don't hate floyd.

    i critize him, but this fourm cant differiante (spelling?) between critizim and hate. therefore you got the stans calling everyone who got something bad to say a "hater" and the actul haters to call someone who likes floyd a "stan" or nuthugger.

    i swear boxing fans can't accpet opnions...-__-

      Boxing fans love to hate the villain. Mayweather is a villain and he is also the best fighter in the sport today.

        Part of the hate for Floyd could just be part of watching sports. As sports fans, we sometimes have certain teams or players we love to hate. People get a kick out of talking **** about someone they don't like. It's entertainment for them.

        But Mayweather's antics really don't help him win popularity contests (at least around here). The dude is egotistical to the point that sometimes you just get turned off hearing him talk about all the riches he's got. The act is really old.

        Then there's the notion that Floyd is waste of talent. A Sugar Ray Leonard with no heart. The ducking accusations are there for a reason. Like the old saying goes, "If you're going to talk the talk, then walk the walk."

        Plus, he's told you his agenda: to make money. That's it. Every boxer should make money to fight, but FMJ spends more energy finding easy pay days than he does finding worthy opponents. It's really frustrating to think one of the greatest fighters ever didn't challenge themselves like his predecessors before him. We as sports fans get a kick out of athletes accomplishing great things, testing themselves, overcoming adversity, striving to be the best because those are qualities most people admire.

          From the people Ive met, almost everyone really likes Floyd.

          maybe its just the nature of the internet for everyone on it to hate and overreact to everything.
          Its because "Losers hate Winners"

          Remember I told you that!!!

            Alot of people on this forum take boxing way too personally.
            They do not understand that the sport, and its fighters, are bigger than they are.

              He talks much more than he actually DOES. Even if he is the favorite, he still hasn't actually fought many of the contenders in or around his weight that want a fight. On top of that, instead of backing up his words by giving fans the fights they want to see, he bashes and discredits other fighter's resumes instead.

                    Thats a good point. But that is also a huge if. Idk why but I think Cotto is gonna win and real boxing fans will actually be happy to see Pacquiao where he belongs (135-140) Maybe even a trilogy of a Marquez fight . Reason I disagree with Floyd, He elbows a lot man. It pisses me off that people dont note that enough and he already had plenty of advantages over Marquez and still wanted to have a large weight advantage. Truth is Floyd takes all the hatred on purpose because it helps him generate money.
