I agree with the author haters be damned. Bernard Hopkins nowhere near compares to Floyd because what he does DOESN'T translate into dollars. Only hardcore fans of BOXING (not slugging) like myself actually tune into see Bernard..
Bernard's greatest performance in the 2nd half of his career (Pavlik) tanked at the box office. Even Floyd's fight with Baldomir did 300K buys.
As far as Ortiz and what he said. Robert Garcia also said that while Ortiz's father wasn't actively involved in his life, he was there. Ortiz definitely embellished his story and Floyd did call him on that.
Like him or not, Floyd sells himself better than any boxer out there. Name me ONE boxer presently that makes his HATERs blood boil to where as they want to comment on EVERY aspect of him that doesn't deal with boxing???
The proof is evident.Comment

Spot on. This is why everyone loves when Mayweather is on 24/7 and they find it boring when other fighters are on it.Although I do agree that Floyd goes a little too far when bashing his opponents, I can't help but admit that he does a hell of a job owning his opponents through the build up.
He has done it with every opponent, specially with Ortiz. He put him on blast and exposed the fake "my mom left us" and other crap Ortiz said to try and win people's hearts. Floyd is a genius when it comes to generating public interest and will own you hard and won't back off.
What do you think?Comment

Hopkins I would put ahead of him, I'd place him on the same level as the Klitschkos.
The Klitschkos screw you around during the deal-making and make you sign a contract stating that if you win, you have to fight the other brother. It's different, but it's effective also.Comment

Floyd's trash talk is weak
he's too insecure to be a good villain
he needs the hate to make money, but he craves the love
bulk of his smack talk isn't out of confidence
it's him lashing out when he gets rattled, which is often and easilyComment
