    It's the hands.

    One thing that's not talked about....he's had a lot of injuries over years that maybe doesn't get a lot of press. He's had bad hands for awhile and that's well documented (Carlos Hernandez, Baldomir), we found out he hurt his shoulder with Castillo, and broke his ribs preparing for Marquez. But the hands especially...that affected him big time. I think that's pretty big reason why he started to pick and choose his fights after 135, because it was beginning to take it's toll. Add all the sparring since kid and amatuers. You can't train at his level twice a year like that. Even with his fighting style, I'm beginning to think Floyd's just not very durable and he does have more wear and tear than you think. So yeah, I don't think he loves the sport as much when factor that in....money and ego aside.

      The FRAUD only cares about himself and money. Doesn't want to give his fans the fights they deserve to see with all his ducking. Just gets the money from the *****s and enjoys the high life.

      Up to now the *****s are ok with the fact that they are being ripped off by their fraud hero.

          Floyd tries not to love the sport, but his insecurity over Pac IMO shows he does.

            He just wants the money. He's not a "fighter" and I dont think he even wants to box anymore. But, he'd go broke without it.

              He loves learning the sport and the money being good at the sport gives him, and getting as good as he can get. But he dont love the fighting bit. He only loves the money they give him for fighting.

              Do us a favour, get rid of my signature at the bottom will you?

                I think he loves it, but at the same time, I think he is bored with it. Floyd has accomplished so much, he might as well just retire. If Floyd fight until 35 or 36, someone will beat him.

                  He used to love the sport. Watch his first title win against Genaro Hernandez. He starts crying afterwards. So he used to but I don't think he does anymore. Floyd realises that people are jealous of him and just want him to lose. That's why you get "boxing experts" like Dan Rafael spurting loads of s*it about him without any substance to what they are saying.

                  Bert Sugar is another example. Before the Marquez fight he claimed "Marquez is the best opponent he could have fought maybe including Pacquiao, This is not a tune up fight for Mayweather" and then afterwards he says "Mayweather has chosen his opponents, Juan Manuel Marquez a 135lb fighter, are you kidding me?" It's classic flip flopping from biased, bitter journalists. Backed up in the video below.

                  https://<object width="480" height="...mbed></object>

                  Whoever he beats, it will never be good enough for these idiots. People were saying "Why not fight Mosley? Mayweather is ducking Mosley" and then when he beat him easily people say "Mosley was over the hill" even though he looked incredible in the fight prior. It would be no different with Pacquiao. Floyd only gets self satisfaction by beating the catchweight b*tch. Beating Pacquiao means next to nothing anyway. This is because "Manny" has already been beaten up and knocked out by boxers who arent half as good as Floyd Mayweather.

                    Floyd loves boxing BUT a pac fight is a test of his love to the sport. the result -> floyd failed the test by going for a vacation, deny a 2nd nego (hide), rant about pac when the margo fight was confirmed, and test his boxing skills with his so caled baby mama... Floyd has failed the test for his love of the sport...
