My theory is called the "ROCKY BALBOA SYNDROME." It's when people fall in love with the guy that is more heart than skill. It's much harder to appreciate what Floyd, Zab, Rigo, Roy Jones Jr., or Pernell Whitaker does. It takes more knowledge of the craft. It's much easier to fall in love with Gatti, Mickey Ward, Joe Frazier, and Mike Tyson. Not that the latter don't have skills, but the brute strength and power is more respected than defense, footwork, counterpunching, etc.
Did you just post Tyson and Frazier with Ward and Gatti?
Nacho's been in damage control mode ever since Mayweather toyed with Marquez, he doesn't want any fighter looking good against him because it makes JMM look bad lol.
Chino deserves a lot of credit for what he was able to do no matter what choices Floyd made, and Floyd did make some choices in that fight.
Saying he did it for the fans is not the reason though, Floyd likes to break guys mentally and one of the best ways to do that is beat them at their own game, especially when the opponent thinks that is impossible. In this fight it got Floyd into a bit of a rough spot and I think it got into a battle of wills because once the fight went down that path Floyd did not seem to want to do something different as to give Chino a bigger confidence boost (anymore than he already had).
Chino does deserve a ton of props though for fighting his fight keeping his nose to the grindstone and not allowing Floyd to get in his head, not to mention is underrated abilities. I do think if they fight again it will look a bit different not totally different because Chino will still bring it, but Floyd won't try to break him that way.
Trainers, fighters, cut men and HOF's all respect Floyd and consider him an ATG. It's arm chair clowns who have never stepped foot in a boxing gym that have the gall to call him a coward and hate on him every step of the way.
i belive you are seeing things only from the way it suits you best. theres a reason many people including myself cant stand floyd. Did you also agree with nacho when he said marquez beat bradley and cr?ied robbery? yet you really agree whit this right? From the ortiz stoppage to the canelo weight to the glove situation how can you even consider him being an atg?

You never see Pacquiao choosing his opponent's gloves! TBE brainwasher!
He should have chosen JMM gloves December 8 2012 and beside catch weight are a lot worst . You can wear snow shovel gloves and unless you have the stamina and strength you won't knock anything out.
