I just shared this.

This is such an awesome story.

Wrong. If you take what Floyd says at face value then I can see how you might think that but Floyd studies all of his opponents. He referenced one of guerreros fights earlier in his career and said he thought Guerrero lost. He does study his opponents he just didn't admit it. But if you pay attention in some of his interviews he'll drop bits of info like that which shows that he does study his opponents and watches a lot of boxing too.

Floyd is always misleading people with his routine every time he does 24/7 or all access. He also acts like he parties all the time, when in reality he trains harder than most boxers.

Floyd also pretends to eat nothing but McDonalds Chips and Chicken during training for fights, when in reality he maintains a strict healthy diet cooked by a professional Chef/nutritionist.

If you are an amature boxer, floyd is the last person you want to emulate, his life style is mostly for the Cameras and to psyche people out.

Gotta give props to Lara, he spoke the truth. Nice to see someone who is appreciative of this country and at the same time still remembers his grass roots. Unlike boxers from other countries who only rep their country and come to this great land to make money and take it back home without ever thanking this great country and the people who helped shape this country. Makes me an even bigger fan of Lara now.

I wonder how cubans feel that lara considers himself american

Proud that he is an example of how every American citizen should be. Unlike people from other countries that only rep and brag about how great their country is but they are here in America instead of being back in their so called "great country".

Their purses get taxed. That's thanking this country.

Agreed but they only fight here in the U.S. cause that's where the money is. I'm sure most guys can care less about this country and only care about their pockets. Most of them take their purse back home and spend it there.

They're already getting taxed. Why do they need to spend it here? If a Mexican comes from Mexico just to fight why should he care about this country?

Mexican fighter: Thanks for the opportunity. Here's your tax money. Till next time.
US: You're welcome. See you next time.

They're not reisiding here or living off your tax money.

Those are some nice words. It'll certainly piss the far-left off.

Don't want to get too political but I agree with you bud

The ones who need to be thankful and appreciate this country are those living off your tax money. The ones who get medicaid, food stamps, etc.

So it's ok if someone comes, makes money, pays taxes, leaves and doesn't give a crap about this country? I certainly don't mind everything up until the part where they don't give a crap about this country. They are making money off of the citizens of this country who work hard year round and pay taxes just like them. I understand people live off our tax money and that's unacceptable but I also think people who make money off of this country and it's people should be grateful of this country . I'm not saying they are wrong for it but they should be grateful that's all. Just how Lara is in this case.
