    People only tolerate Floyd's negative tactics because there are dozens of other boxers putting on great fights. It's the people who take the punishment that allow Floyd a medium to con people out of their money. He promises spectacular victories before every fight, but never delivers. Liars are not cool
    Couldn't of said it better myself, great post.

      If Mayeaweather never pulled it out his ass without a shred of evidence he would not need to disprove anything.

          Seeing guys take punishment like 'warriors' obviously looks cool in the ring, but I agree - it's not cool in itself. They're human beings with lives, after all.

              I'm just mad at the minute. In a few days I will probably be admiring him again, but what he is doing is wrong.
              What are you talking about, tell me where you ever heard Floyd accuse Pac of doping? He never put in one bad word about Pacman's success.

              The professionals felt something was weird and asked for a drug test. Thats all plain and simple. Now everyone thinks theres something more behind it, so stop blaming Floyd for the whole situation, and ask yourself would you rather have a sport full of legitimate athletes or accused drug users? Let him take the test and show hes legit.

              Im assuming you love Manny and regardless of whether he was doping or not you'd still love him the same amount. So just let him show hes clean.

                  Floyd did say that Manny's success was due to performance enhancers during the RA Rugged Man radio interview.

                  And he never said one bad word about Pacman's success? C'mon man, he downplayed all of Pac's victories.

                      Excellent post.

                      I admire PBF but I'm glad he is the only PBF out there.

                      That said, Andre Dirrell is another guy who is highly unlikely to be in any great fights.

                      I dunno, it's a fine line. Boxers need to be successful but to be really successful they need to entertain. Floyd can entertain with his pure skill level, but put two Floyd's in that ring and I wouldn't watch that **** if you paid me.
