Are boxer who moan about "not getting the credit they deserve", insecure?

[adamt]

I always thought all boxers were secure with themselves,
as boxing is a tough brave sport where your fighting for a living, how could you not be secure if your also winning, your the man!

but i remember floyd moaning before about not getting the credit he deserves for his wins, and jealous of mannys popularity but now thinking about it, this is a clear sign of being insecure with yourself,

who give a f*** if noone respects your career, if your happy with it, who gives a f*** what anyone else thinks

hmm

[rudy]

the only people who complain are fighters who can not score a knockout or just winning on points in boring fights like bradley skeete

Well you used Floyd as an example, who happens to be the most insecure public figure I've ever seen.

But most fighters who want more credit are just competitors who are probably frustrated with the lack of popularity of boxing when they know they are some of the best in the world at what they do.

Everyone in life feels that they deserve more recognition. Wake up. It's part of the human condition.

Well it depends. You used Mayweather as an example, a guy who achieved a lot professionally and financially but he is and always will be very insecure because he knows he duckedh is biggest challenged and he knows he will get called out for it. No amount of money can ease his conscienceb ut hey, that's up to him. No one forced him to be a coward.
