Look at Canelo, he was in his prime and still lost every round against a smaller 36 year old, yet his fans still love him and support him, I can't remember any similar scenario in recent memory with an American fighter, all I hear about American fighters is duck duck duck, hype hype hype.
      Ummmmm...Tyson, gatti, ward, Vargas. I can keep going, but I won't. Every one of those fighters became more famous AND made more money after they lost.
      And all retired as millionaires (some didn't take care of their money, but I digress)
      You're not the brightest bulb on the tree to make such a hasty generalization.
      But I doubt that you're ****** (and bc you use 'duck' and 'hype', I'm certain as to whom you're referring). You're just confused as to why Floyd was such a great fighter, but reviled by the public. Could it be bc he carefully crafted a public persona that he knew was going to be hated? Could it be bc his son described what it felt like to watch Floyd beat his mom right in front of him? Could it be bc he posted pictures of a fetus, publicly shaming his ex for having an ********? Could it be because he wears mink coats in the 21st century? Could it be bc he called his father (an old man) a f aggot for all the world to see?
      That couldn't have anything to do with it, could it?
      Nah, it's all bc Americans just don't back American fighters.

        He's not even American, yet he's getting these kinds of reception only presidential candidates get. Forget about Mayweather. It's not even close.

            does this answer your question why people like Pac even with the whoring?

              I am also a fan of Nihito Arakawa, so much so that I was Arakawa Dunn for a minute. I am also big on Omar Figueroa.

              Not liking Manny isn't a crime.
              yeah so now you understand how bad a person you are when you maligned jinky just because you don't like Pac.

              SHAME ON YOU!
