Do People Respect Floyd Mayweather Jr?

[brick wall]

Not saying you need to respect HIM for it, im asking if you repect that thing about him? you've not answered yes or no yet, just that you respect boxing skils in general. Im asking you, do you respect his skills, not respect him for his skills, but appreciate his abilities, whether genetic or god given?

Basically, do you think he is a good talented fighter?

i respect boxing skills/talents and floyd is one of those fighters who are fortunate to have it. the problem with your logic is you're trying to mix up that respect to boxing skills with respect to floyd as a fighter. i look at it in a different way. i can appreciate his skills without looking at his personality as a fighter. do i respect boxing skills? pretty much. do i respect floyd as a fighter? no

I respect his talent.

As for his personality, I can't judge because I don't know the guy.

But he does make it rather hard for people 'not to hate him'.

This is pretty much all that needs to be said on this. 1st post too.

I respect his skills. He showed in the Mosley fight that he can stay composed under dangerous situations. However, I don't like him. If he was more like Pac and willing to fight anybody put infront of him then I would be a fan. All he does is talk **** and never backs it up. Why was he silenced when Pac didn't have an opponent, but started talking **** when Pac-Marg was signed? Even he confirmed that Pac agreed to the test, yet he didn't fight Pac.

man gtfo with that bull****. Don't say you're the greatest then run like a *****.

I respect him as a boxer. Never respected him as a person. I found him funny on occasion, but never thought of him as a roll model

I respect Floyd, definatley. Hes dominated for over 10 years. Insdie the ring hes an awesome boxer with amazing skills. Outsdie the ring, hes great at promoting fights, people talk about him, love him or hate him

He's a 5 division world titlist, just as Pacquiao - he's good.

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

exactly why i said, reread the op, idiot

[-MAKAVELLI-]

no, not really


outside the ring; he's an insecure piece of ****...a bigoted, wife beater with the mentality of a 13yr old


inside the ring; what's to respect about someone with so much skill that's afraid to test himself? this fight fan has ZERO respect for a once-a-year fighter that has entitlement issues and a rolodex of excuses to NOT fight other fighters that the public wants to see

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.

You're an idiot... HEAPS of people disliked Ali back when he was fighting, he was very controversial at the time. Shut up stop whinging, you need a tampon?

Difference is ali actually fought the best opponents. floyd never earned my respect, he earned my disgust after ducking prime cotto.
