    1. if your going to watch for a specific technique most fighters are good at one or two. So you can only use them as a model for so much. Floyd will show you every trick in the book, and some. He may not do everything all the time, but you can't make him sweat you. He knows whats up at all times, and dictates the tricks accordingly.

    2. He's loud. I like a fella who enjoys causing a ruckus. ****'s fun and y'all need to lighten up. He's something of a modern Jack Johnson. Sitting on top stirring the pot.

      I am not some Weird Fan to the point in which if he ever loses I would disappear from the Internet World or change my account and come back on someone else bandwagon like SOME PEOPLE

      I am just a fan of the SKILLS IN THE RING, unlike others I can separate the two, I don't have to like Mayweather outside of the Ring to have to give him his Props and Respect his skills INSIDE THE RING

      Bottom Line, Mayweather is hands down the most SKILLED FIGHTER of his ERA, he is that Blue Print for that next generation of fighters, he is a TRAINERS...DREAM FIGHTER! He is a fighter that Trainers will use videos of his fights to teach their fighters how to BOX

      Also the WORK ETHIC AND DISCIPLINE...Roger don't have to call Floyd to come work out, Floyd is the one rounding his team up at 2-3:00 in the Morning to come and help him workout...I Admire that and Respect that and that is what I will remember Mayweather for the most fight, not all these Childish crap people say on the Internet EVERYDAY...I leave those to the Casual fans who really don't know anything about Boxing so they come and disrupt boxing forums with their IGNORANCE and RACISM...I don't need ESPN to tell me how great is so I can run on the internet and post "Did You Hear What Michael Wilbon/Skip Bayless Said About Mayweather" casual fans are the ones who do that because they don't following boxing much, so they need to be TOLD WHAT THEY SHOULD THINK!

        Skill wise I'm a fan because there's never been anyone in the history of the sport who can dissect and outsmart his opponents like Mayweather, he's a living embodiment of the fundamental concept of boxing, "hit and don't get hit".

        Regarding his personality, although he's not perfect he's nothing close to the jealous, egotistical, insecure idiot many people make him out to be. He's definitely done some ****** things, as a fan I'm disappointed with his racial attacks on Pacquiao and Lin, and I wish he could stay a bit calmer in interviews. But he's a guy who loves his family and does everything he can to support them, and he does a lot of work for charity and contributes to the Las Vegas community. From the interviews I've seen with Floyd he has a lot of compassion for others, and truly appreciates the advantages he's had and the position he's in today. Not to mention that he has an unbelievable work ethic, he trains harder than most fighters and stays in shape in-between fights.

        I also believe a lot of what Floyd says is simply to generate controversy, and many believe the image he presents. People can hate all they want but imo, as with Ali, they'll miss him when he's gone.

          He's the most versatile, technically skilled boxer I've ever seen. Floyd has all the tools and supreme work ethic to boot.

          It's beautiful watching him fight.

              This right here. And I don't really care much about what he does outside of the ring because it's widely known "Money Mayweather" is merely a persona. The media have always labeled him as the villain so he takes on the role and uses it to his advantage. It's great for his PPVs.

                Most of the people talking about skills etc aren't really being honest, if he was from Africa and spoke zulu, barely one of you would give a damn about him or his skills, you'd consider him a boring foreign fighter and many probably wouldn't even know his name and wouldn't want to see him fight. That's just the truth.

                Real reason people like FMJ is because he runs his mouth, flashes the cash, appears successful and is a controversial character but for all their talk most would drop him like a stone after a couple of losses.

                      I thought we were talking about Mayweather, not the fighting fraud of the Philippines?
