      so just because he got skills you have to respect him? what about those boxers who are not so skilled they don't deserve to be respected? gtfoh
      respect begets respect...floyd's personality as a boxer is very disrespectful to boxing fans and so he deserves whatever disrespect he gets in return. he can't even respect his fellow fighters...he's an as$hole.

        as much as *******s hate, they def respect this mans skills. or else they wouldnt have picked him to beat pac, overwhelmingly, in that unbiased floyd vs pac thread, for when they fight.

            Not saying you have to respect him overall, but do you respect his skills?

              no you shut up moron...you can't separate one's talent/skills with his personality when it comes to respect. respecting talent/skills is generic...you can't just apply it to one fighter. respect to an individual is all about personality.

                So you didnt respect Ali? He talked **** a lot.

                Anyway, I wanna know... do you respect his skills? Not saying him as a man or overall, his skills in the ring, his talent.

                  But do you respect him?
                  Do you respect his talent his work ethic and what he has done for the sport?
                  I understand how some people may not like him outside the ring due to his attitude and his money obsession,
                  His sheer Stubbornness is what annoys me.

                  But I don't understand how any BOXING FAN can really distinguish him inside the ring,
                  How any BOXING FAN can not respect this mans skill is mind blowing.

                  Basically a Question to the Haters, You may not like Floyd but do you RESPECT him?
                  I respect his skills and hustle (business moves etc) but I dont respect him as a person and how he has handled his career legacy wise. I think the mistake most people make is the inability/refusal to seperate the two.

                  E.g. Just because I have certain dislikes for him....doesn't mean I let that cloud by view on him as a fighter and his accomplishments. I put that to the side and try to judge him as unbiasedly as I can.

                  I feel he is top 30-40 but could have been top 10. I feel he one of the 3 greatest defensive fighters of all time, and has many gifts that make him one of the greatest fighters of all time.

                  On the flip side, he has failed on several occassions to enhance his legacy, been on too much bull**** and is very disrespectful the to sport of boxing and legends on the game.

                  That's most how I view him in a nutshell....

                    i respect skills in boxing in a general point of view...i will not look at just one fighter when it comes to that.

                      wtf is wrong with you? how is that even related to my argument?
                      ali has never been disrespectful to boxing fans...he disrespected some of his opponents but he's always been likable to boxing fans. and he gave the sport of boxing and boxing fans more than they expected of him.
