It doesn't count if you win. He won, so nobody cares.Comment

Only fights I didn't have Floyd winning was against Castillo and Maidana.
Scored Castillo I 7-5 for JLC and Maidana I a draw.
I had Floyd winning decisively in both rematches.
I still don't understand how anyone can claim Pac or DLH beat him. Think it's just emotions not wanting to admit defeat in all honesty.Comment

I have been to more than half the places you have mentioned through work, so I understand the associative comparison, very colourful cities.I respect what you said. However, I post frequently here saying sarcastically that Floyd was hood. Floyd was never hood. And this is what I said earlier in the weeks that Broner comparing himself to Floyd with upbringing circumstances is beyond false. Anybody that has watched HBO during Mayweather's rise to fame nowhere is it explicit or detailed that Floyd was ''hood'' like the gang **** atmosphere rappers promote or what Broner grew up around.
The Mayweather family are the practical and more poor framed African American families that are into Midwest simple life and enjoying Rnb, Funk, etc.. From Floyd Sr.'s music tastes and Floyd's 80s pop tastes from Blues or Stevie Wonder, Grand Rapids ain't hood by a mile nor in the time when Floyd grew up.
From Prince, to Sly Stone, to James Brown, Lenny Kravitz, Hendrix, these kats were beyond ''colorful'' in fashion styles circulating around the world. If you've been to London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Berlin, or Milan you'd know better that rich mogul life artists and socialites dress in Haute Couture fashion like nobody's business. That's just the way world turns.
Floyd loves rocking Gucci and Armani from time to time. So what. It has nothing to do with family problems or any theories you bring up. Life's not that complicated. Not everybody can think like a simpleton
As for the hood. I'm from the UK, so you'll have to ignore my ignorance. I assumed that "the hood" referred to specific area where people sharing a similar ethnic or racial background live. Having looked a little deeper, I can now see why you said Floyd is definitely not hood. Grand rapids doesn't strike me as a ******
You mentioned some good "colourful" characters. Lenny K and prince have always been cool, but the thing is, I always saw these people as genuine and their style was a reflection of them as artists, which has always been consistent and effortless. That said, Floyd never does, which led me to state that he appears to try too hard rather than be himself.Comment

Well ironically this is a boxing forum. Boxing and competitive sport has always been about the smack game. That's just the general nature of competitive toughness. Isn't more ideal to cheer a poor kid growing up in Grand Rapids who grew up as a bonafide boxer due to his family's accomplishments, represent the Olympics, win the national golden gloves in the different weight classes, get rid of Arum and promote himself and become the richest paid athlete
VS
hearing a scumbag like Trump, vrags about his richness, born into richness, the American rural life loves him, many racists?
