Floyd seems humble. Has he changed?

[alexguiness]

It's a joke, not a dick, so don't take it so hard

OK, No worries - maybe I am just a little over sensitive today.

A humanitarian disaster in a third world country usually has me laughing tears of pure joy...

Naah. He's just thinking of what to do with his $120mil minus tax

I bet if a storm tore Floyd's house down you would most definitely clown him

I've always felt that his "money" villain persona was largely a marketing strategy. He's a guy with very limited public speaking aptitude and very little in the way of charisma or charm (that in itself doesn't make him or anyone a bad person, just not that interesting or attractive as a public figure ). From the perspective of trying to build a public image from that, he has few options. He could basically play the silent type and not say much at all which is pretty safe as an image, and is IMO what "pretty boy" was in essence. I think thats difficult to pull off honestly and not very rewarding even if you do it well. Or he could be a sort of villain, which is risky but carries greater reward if it works. Mayweather has always seemed like a nervous speaker to me, the type of person that feels the need to say something but isn't really articulate enough to usually say something charming or interesting. This is a classic problem poor public speakers run into, and they often end up with a foot in their mouth. When you are a villain, if you put your foot in your mouth people are like "of course he said that, he's an *******...I hate him", so its more forgiving in that regard. If you are the good guy, or the quiet guy and you do that it can be damaging. I think that we are all unqualified to fully describe Mayweather's actual personality (like most public figures IMO), but I am confident that the things we are privy to do not fully describe him as a person...because I don't think that stuff could or is even intended to fully describe anyone.

As far as humbleness goes, I think there is a certain audacity or even arrogance to being in individual sports like boxing, maybe especially boxing. There is also an innate humbleness to it as well. You must believe that you can win in the ring or you would be somewhat foolish to get in there, but you also have to be prepared for what the other person brings to the table. Anyway, I think he's humble to some degree and arrogant ...and the ratio might change from day to day...I know it does for me.

oh yeah and of course he's damn near 40 now, so there is a good chance he's matured quite a bit since he established the "money" persona, so he may have both outgrown it psychologically, and as a career advancement tool.

So I've been watching Floyd's latest interviews and the guy seems very humble. He isn't the bad guy he was a few years ago. Maybe the guy has changed? I mean I haven't heard the guy trash talk at all since the Maidana fight. He seems very humble and doesn't seem conceited any more.

Tim Bradley did more trash talking than Floyd has done.

Do you think Floyd has changed?

you mean the guy that was playing a character on 24/7 to get people to hate him to sell fights lol ya sorry to break it to u but a lot of that was scripted

Unlike 99.9% of Filipinos, Floyd can easily buy another house - in fact he could by 100 of them.

So in reality it isn't the most appropriate comparison.

If Floyd lost his house I would not give a **** either way.

Floyd humble?

LMFAO

How many 'humble' people do you know who pay dozens of hangers on and skanks to tell him he is TBE every minute of every day?

Floyd does not really have a personality of his own or offer any type of intelligent, valued perspective on anything at all.

He is the Michael Jackson of boxing.

He is the Michael Jackson of boxing.

Is this supposed to be a diss? I ask because if you really think this you are suggesting that Floyd is one of, if not the, greatest ever in his field.

I was referring more to the personality side than the actual boxing.

Floyd is child like, easily influenced by stronger personalities, likes an entourage and despite telling everyone he is in control - we all know that Al Haymon is the puppet master.

Oh, and the Bieber thing can't be overlooked...
