Does any fighter belittle, degrade, bemoan and downgrade their opposition like Floyd?

[Vasyl’s dad]

Seriously. I can't think of any fighter who does this for each and every fight and then whine about not getting proper credit for a victory. His fans follow suit and tear down the opponent as well. "He's a d class fighter. He's ordinary. Easy money. Easy work. Too slow. Gasses out. Yadda yadda yadda".


So....what's the crying for when people pick apart the resume? You can't make your opponent Charlie Brown and expect praise like Floyd beat King Kong.

We acknowledge reality. There is Floyd and everyone else who is not Floyd. People are clamoring for a fifth fight with jmm while Floyd used him for an out of retirement tuneup. Again, Floyd and everyone who is not Floyd.

ali fought nothing but bums

His fan base are insecure arrogant fools who are into that insult hip hop ****** culture like flushing money down the drain and ripping bills while make fun of people who don't wear expensive clothes, ****** idiots.

I will say this though watch for the excuses if Canelo some how pulls off the upset and knocks out or beats Floyd they will say oh It was either a lucky punch, or Floyd got old over night which is complete garbage, Floyds style isn't the kind that ages over night.

if a fighter is that affected by Mayweather's words then they need to consider a new sport

It's funny, Floyd sometimes seem surprised when people tell him some of the fighters he fought weren't any good, when he was the one saying it all along.

Of course the reality is that all of them are good, but post-Corrales almost all of them are either past prime or screwed some way by pre-fight demands.

Canelo was a chance for Floyd to beat a fighter at or near his prime coming off a career best win, but he ruined the public perception of it by having it at 152.

Money Mayweather has been losing control. This is a fight he never wanted. Showtime lost millions in his last fight and they ordered him to fight the Mexican superstar to probably just recover what they lost.

I never understood belittling your opponents. It does not help you in anyway.

Im sorry,I just can't stand that dude.

Do you even understand the premise of the thread? Seriously serious. Do you?

Ali called George Foreman a slow flat footed Mummy...Joe Frazier too ugly to be champion, Uncle Tom, white mans champion...Sonny Liston - if you want to lose your money dont bet on Sonny, the Big Ugly Bear....Floyd Patterson The Rabbit cause I'm going to beat him so bad he'll freeze......

Sonny Liston "The Big Ugly Bear"
Floyd Patterson "The Rabbit"
George Chuvalo "Washer Women"
Ernie Terrell "The Octopus", because of his style.
Oscar Bonavena "The Beast"
Joe Frazier "The Gorilla"
Buster Mathis Sr. "The dancing Hippo"
George Foreman "The Mummy"
Earnie Shavers "The Acorn", because of his baldness.
Leon Spinks "Dracula", because of the gap of his teeth.
Larry Holmes "Peanut", because the shape of his head.
