    If the media and press "hate Floyd", as many stans like to say,

    How did he ever win "Fighter of the Year" in two different decades?

    Surely, someone who is hated by the media and press would never be adorned with such accolades, so please do tell,


    How did he pull it off with such hatred coming from the media and press?

    I actually liked him in 1998.

    When he started to take up his bad guy persona in order to invite hate since that was the only way he could sell fights, I stopped liking him.

      Yep, looks like that's the excuse they are bringing out for why Floyd is catching the blame for this.

          Hey dumb****,

          I never realized internet websites were the deciding factor in who gets FOTY.

          Go get laid for once.

              Coz Floyd of back then is not the Floyd of today...

              I don't hate Floyd nor do I like HER.

              But he do talk a lot of crap about other boxer.

                  I think that's a myth. Brian Kenney and Dan Rafael have both said in the past that they like and get along with Floyd, for example. They've argued with Floyd, sure, but just because they call him out and ask him tough questions at times doesn't mean they hate him. It's their job to ask tough questions and sometimes be critical.

                    The media hate has come more recently, since his move to 147.
                    However, the mainstream media has sided with Floyd in this whole fiasco, and have been critical of Pac.
