Let's Settle This Once And For All, Why Does Mayweather Have So Many Haters?

[alexpz]

Are some of you so fickle that you can't remember longer then his last fight? He fought pee pee mouth Marquez the #2 ranked fighter in the world as his comeback fight. Now that he's out of the way Mayweather will start picking off your favorite WW's (including your hero Shane "My tooth hurts and i need a vacation" Mosley) and you Floyd detracters will have to come up with another reason to hate on him.

Wow your so proud of Floyd fight against Juan Marquez. Ofcourse we still remember that Floyd fought a blown up and slower version Juan Marquez who fought floyd at WW. And ofcourse we didn't forget that your guy Floyd didn't reach the agreed weight at 14rlbs. Forcing them to change the contract all of a sudden.

But I do agree Floyd did show good skills on that fight. no doubt about it. But i still doubt that your guy floyd will fight top WW contender. Correct me if Im wrong because recently we heared it from Floyd that he won't be waiting for Cotto-Pacquiao winner or even Old Sugar Shane Mosley.

Ofcourse no one why this thread is purely one sided, well the one that open the thread is the number 1 fan of floyd no other than Mr. President.

[Mr. President]

My biggest problem with Floyd is just the fact that he's not more exciting and he's the face of boxing. Maybe I'm just an idiot but I would rather have the face of boxing be someone who casual fans can enjoy. If you don't enjoy the chess part of boxing your going to hate Floyd and most casual fans can't get into the chess matches. If I had a friend who wanted to watch some boxing a floyd fight is not the first fight I would show them.

I think that's a fair assumption because if Floyd wasnt exciting he wouldnt be the biggest cash cow in boxing right now. 1 million fans don't spend 60$ of their hard earned money in the middle of a recession to see a boring fighter fight.

Floyd has all the skills to beat the best WW fighters but wouldn't fight them. People hate him mainly for this reason.

Don't believe everything you hear. A fight with Pac is the biggest pay day out there for him right now and skill wise Team Mayweather knows that Manny "I have other people make my decisions for me" Pacquiao is nowhere near Floyd's level.

Expect Mosley to get taken out sometime in the next year as well. The WW takeover is just getting started.

he's claiming to be the best but not fighting the best.cherry picker, dodging better oppositions.

We already know Mayweather is the most skilled fighter and biggest cash cow in boxing right now and anytime a person has that kind of influence there's obviously gonna be haters trying to drag him down. We saw it with Muhammad Ali in the 60's and 70's and we're seeing the same thing happen today with Mayweather.

For the most part, it obviously comes from jealousy and envy but i'm trying to find a specific reason why they exert so much energy hating on him because it's still a mystery to me.

I narrowed it down to the 4 most likely choices but if i forgot one then state what it is in this thread.

U didnt add coz he's a coward.

He's faced 15 current/former world champions in his illustrious career. Get your facts straight before you try to spread your propaganda.

Judah, Baldomir, Gatti, bloated JMM

That's his resume.

A resume of crap.

Of course his fans love crap like they love cowards. Like u.

I noticed you left out Corrales (arguably his greatest win), De La Hoya (who said himself that he was at his best the night he fought Mayweather), Hatton (when he was still a force before Mayweather took his soul and left him a shade of his former self) and numerous other wins against top level competition.

I think the problem is, Floyd makes it look so easy that he gets no credit for his wins when he's fighting high caliber opponents. He's just THAT much better than the competition.

In what way does a Welterweight Mayweather compare favorably to any top 10 welterweight in the ring? Because you realize he moved up from Featherweight too right? Or did you manage to conveniently forget that?

Completely different scenarios. Mayweather was a super featherweight to start his career, not a featherweight, and has been at welterweight for 4 years. He has the speed and natural athletic talent to fight top welterweights and succeed. Same reason Pacquiao has been able to move up so successfully.

Marquez has never had those types of athletic advantages, he has always relied on technical ability. As he moves up in weight, he gets slower and his reflexes get much worse. You could see it in his two fights at lightweight. Can you tell me in what way Mayweather-Marquez was a fair fight?

And again, who has Mayweather fought at 140 or 147 that can compare to Mosley, Cotto, or Pacquiao, and that convinces you he would easily beat them?
