Mexican Network names Floyd Mayweather Fighter of the Year

[-MAKAVELLI-]

The truth is, American fans won't get behind a American fighter if he's....like Floyd.

I'll just leave it at that. That's why they've always been reluctant to take him under his wing, and would rather root for guys like GGG, Kovalev, and Pacquiao, who are foreigners to our country. They say "America likes a winner" but that doesn't really stick when it comes to Floyd, most of us can read between the lines to know why.

and why is that...do explain

[therealpugilist]

Floyd didn't beat the injured Pacquiao fairly or impressively, and Berto is a bum of the highest order

if Floyd is the FOTY then this was a pretty crappy year for boxing

Bums don't beat world fighters

Berto has wins over contenders and former titlist with 5 defenses of the wbc

They all bums I guess, cuz nobody in the part ten years wouldve been favored over Floyd be real



Pacquaio was the supposed savior.... Deliverer, but all was delivered was excuses n the powers that be, media and the brain washed tards all left reaching


They were reaching the whole time


Pac was never good snuff in 09-15 or ten years from now


Missing 400 punches didn't help if it was but it wasn't.... Team PAC n TR can't agree on wen it occurred lmao...reaching lol

If you don't know, don't ask. You'll never learn.

Because she was a white hyped MMA sluggeroo?

i don't often bring in race but lets be real............american fight fans are blood thirsty for a great white hope or a great exotic other. thats just the realty. a lot of people say it's because of mayweathers **** personalty but thats a joke. ronda came out talking crazy. they worshiped her, (greatest female ATHLETE (not fighter) female athlete of the decade. an inspiration to all of us) conor mcgregor comes out talking more then even mayweather (he's a god) mcgregor does the money talk, disrespect, middle fingers in the press conferences. flashing with rides all over the place the whole 9. again, he's a god.

that should tell you enough of what you're dealing with.

Then explain Ronda Rousey's hype and backing from the American public?

She is just as, if not more cocky and talks more **** to her opponents than Floyd ever did. Yet, she was praised by the majority of fight fans.

Explain why GGG can continue his streak of highlight reel KO's against bums and become the praised #3-5 P4P on most people's lists, yet Wilder does the same thing and isn't even ranked in the top 10?

America will get behind a fighter like Floyd

...when his career is over, broke, brain dead with a non profit organization


America like sluggers not the science...casuals mostly


Add the fact that he black, no one is his era can beat him, talks **** n backs it up



America don't like winners


" America/ media/ " like gatti types


Not someone like Roy Jones or Ali until they were old battered n done they got appreciation

Floyd gave boxing a middle figure, fought n did biz his way....that's America.... not being a punching bag n puppet...america can't relate to that...the bigots in. White America... Not since Peter jackson, Jack Johnson , Ali n now Floyd

Bigot white people n the media don't wanna see a black man kick everyone azz, **** their girl n make the most money

I would love for someone to break down this post and explain why Rousey and Mcgregor get all the love, but a guy like Floyd continues to be hated.

Rousey was backed by feminists and fringe MMA fans


you really believe Wilder is worthy of a top 10 ranking?
