I beat A,B,and C better than Floyd did, it's his entire shtick.
Minus knockout ratio and total number of fights Floyd holds damn near every major record in boxing, not to mention being the most successful financially. He is doing something really right.
You are right though he is polarizing. No boxer has garnered so much hatred for being successful since Floyd. Ali and Roy Jones are the only other two that I can think of that come close, but today's couch potato pundit is just extreme. And thanks to the internet they can now congregate in mass to shout whatever the disapproval of the day is.
One thing stands out in what Ariza said "Actions speak louder than words" and we have from Manny is talk.

Showtime/CBS offered Floyd $100 mil guarantee and 60-40 split...he's turning that down to fight Cotto in a pointless rematch...
Cowardice at its highest definition yet, fanboys still find a way to twist the very obvious ducking. Smdh.

BoxingScene didn't twist anying, here, you only need to listen from :53 to 1:23
Ariza says there are no negotiations, floyd is fighting someone else on may 2nd, the fans are being deceived - which is a direct contradiction to what Floyd said on his interview with whoo kid. Bob Arum isn't serious about the fight then, he just has a man crush on Les Moonves.
Ariza also says 'it's the same **** that has been going on the last 4 years' but I guarantee you I could pull up multiple quotes of him saying Floyd is ducking the fight. So which is it? C'mon now, you fl0mos have got stop pulling interviews of a guy you said was a cheat and a liar. Either he's lying or Floyd is lying.

Remember when Ariza was with Manny? these same people here praising him today were the same people crucifying him whenever he said something bad against Floyd. All of a sudden Ariza have the most sensitive info about what's going on? Since when a conditioning coach like Ariza have that privilege? Didn't Ellerbe got fire for saying some similar crap before?

Remember when people actually thought Floyd wanted to fight Manny...I still believe that Hbo and Showtime are negotiating, and should they come to an agreement, and Floyd actually agrees to fight Manny, it will be because he was pressured into it. NOT because he really wants the fight.
