Is floyd success due to the culture he appeals to, lack of intellect?

    Agreed. boxing is very nationalistic in nature and will always be IMO

                      Sport athletes and figures in general get held to a higher standard, as long as there isn't any cheating involved. And even in some cases where there is, people still back up their favorite people. Take a look at a Larussa. This guy was caught with a DUI, but he's still seen as a legendary baseball figure. Meanwhile, a whole bunch of deserving athletes were not selected to the hall of fame due to the sports writers taking a "morally higher" ground. Basically, people will like an athlete, without really caring what their "off-field" actions are, it's all about what happens inside. It's very disrespectful to imply that mainly ****** people like Mayweather. I love brawlers, I love inside fighters, I love outside fighters, but boy do I love me some defensive fighters with a highly effective offensive skill set. Let's not pretend and act that people that love Mayweather's style doesn't exist. People either love it, or at least respect it and want to see him get challenged by different styles.
                      That's what I say, I judge a fighter based on what he does inside the ring and his all around work in the sport. You still got many who think Mayweather's PPV success is mostly attributed to people who want to see him lose, not saying that's untrue but it's greatly exaggerated. People simply want to be entertained, watch a great display of skill, his 0 is definitely a factor as it's intriguing to see why a fighter has been undefeated for so long, that would definitely cause a pretty good margin to tune in. In the bold, that's my preference, Ward, Moreno, Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins (Especially prime), Pernell Whitaker...list goes on. Also appreciate Brandon Rios, I think that's more due to the lack of inside fighting in the sport today.
