Floyd can't believe Ward is #4 p4p

[Eastcoast]

In one sentence he says Ward shouldn't move up b/c they're trying to get him beat, then the next sentence he says Golovkin needs to move up and fight Ward, and that 100% Ward beats him, lol!

Just sad, especially when Ward just fought at 172lbs by his own accord and Ward's been quoted multiple times saying he'd eventually have to move up to 175lbs.

Do I think that they're trying to get Andre Ward beat? Absolutely! Andre Ward, if you're reading this article, if I was you, I wouldn't move up to 175 pounds to fight the guy, Kovalo [Sergey Kovalev], if that's his name, because I really don't know his name. I know he's a light heavyweight. Andre Ward is a 68-pounder and I think he should continue to dominate at 168. This is what I think should happen. You know, everybody keeps talking Triple G, so I just started taking notice probably last year. If this guy Triple G is so tough and so bad, you know, from what they say, then let him go up and fight Andre Ward. Once again, these guys in boxing [media], not me, are rating this guy, Triple G, super high. He's good with a stationary target in front of him. When he's fighting a guy that's straight up and down with no special effects, is he good? Absolutely! But do I think that Triple G can beat Andre Ward? Absolutely not! Easy pickings! It's going to be very, very, very easy for Andre Ward.

You know what, he probably says things like this for the publicity.

[SUBZER0ED]

Anything to get attention, eh Floyd?

I've also thought about Conor-Mayweather.

Conor is just like Mayweather. Likes to show off his money, cars, and talks trash yet doesn't receive as much hate.

Some will say it's because Conor is more exciting but I think that's bull****.

If Mayweather was white he'd be adored.

I hear this argument all the time and it's just not the same thing...

Have you looked at Mayweather's outside of the ring track record? I mean all you have to do is look under the controversy link in Wikipedia, and its an laundry list that includes, assault and battery, domestic violence charges, racist remarks etc.

You can't force people to ignore what happens outside of the ring. You just can't. Especially since those instances occurred while he was in the spot light and regarded as the number one fighter in the sport. When you combine that track record with his arrogant persona, it's not difficult to see why he's hated and it's not just about race, race certainly plays a part, but it's not ALL about race when you consider what he's done.

Say what you want about Conor, he's as arrogant and as brash as Floyd... but he doesn't have that outside the Octagon track record of beating women, assaulting people, making racist remarks. Mayweather has contributed to a lot of the hate on his own.

Can't believe PAC was p for p no2 when destroying morales and Barrera and jmm. Must be racism towards Filipinos and american favouritism

[Pigeons]

Golovkin hasn't fought a decent opponent his entire career and he's #3 according to the RING.

[MoneyMayFan]

Complete horseshit.

If you think being an adored sportsman hinges on the colour of your skin and not skill + personality then you're a lost cause.

how many endorsements u think floyd
would have if he was white??

How do ukno the people he is fighting aren't good? Or does GGG just make them not look good?

[Mr.Fantastic]

I can't believe he's still on the list after not doing much in the last couple of years. Too much favoritism with Ward.

We'll never know.

Just like we'll never know if the public would have taken more to him if he didn't create the villain persona for himself.
