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

[Mr. President]

He's hated for several reasons but the one I can't stand the most is his lack of wanting what's best for boxing and it's fan base which is to see if he is indeed the best by taking on the best IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS! I would understand if there were no challenges available but his class is loaded and I'd like to see who stands the tallest after the smoke clears. This is one reason I really like Shane Mosley, his opponent list is awesome.

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.

Look at his recent performances in the ring, they speak for themselves. And you can say "He fought a smaller pee-pee mouth Marquez" all day, but he completely shut out the #2 ranked P4P fighter in the world on his first fight after a 2 year hiatus. The guy is easily the greatest fighter of his era and i expect him to take out most of the fighters you named within the next year or so.

P4P is hypothetical, weight classes are real. In what ways does a welterweight Marquez compare favorably to any top 10 welterweight in the ring?

Would you consider Hopkins vs. Pacquiao a legit fight just because they are so close in the p4p rankings? Who exactly has Floyd fought lately that is anywhere near Mosley, Cotto, or Pacquiao?

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?

I don't give a **** if you think he would of beat these fighters or not and what reason you have why he didn't fight them. He should have fought either Casamayor, Freitas, Tszyu, Margarito, Mosley, and/or Cotto.

And he spews garbage every time he opens his mouth

[VipersThunder]

Wow what a nut hugging poll this is. You can't even bring yourself to include a critical option. Slurp, slurp.

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.

Floyd is one of my favorite fighters

I'd like him to be less flamboyant, I hate when fighters declare they are the best. Let history be the judge

I just want him to wipe out the best people at his weight. He like Roy Jones took the easy way out on some of their championships. I think there are plenty of fighters that could beat him and I would have loved to see the potential matchups.

Either way...if Cotto wins his next fight...Floyd vs Miguel or his entire career will be pretty transparent in my opinion. If Pacquaio wins, then its a no brainer, although I think Cotto would present a greater challenge than Pacquaio.

It's really simple, he is one of the most famous current boxers and he's arrogant.

That is all.

pssst, ay, wanna know something??....

"ALL" the GREAT FIGHTERS.....know what it's like to lose".

A REAL dog fight...where you hit and get hit.The sweet science, is, well, sweet. But too much of "ANYTHING" is not good for you. Eat alot of cake, and you get sick. Until you've drawn blood.....you ain't really a "WARRIOR". A great technician maybe, but not guts....no glory.
