What is it about Floyd that you don't like?

[Xi_]

The real reason why we don't like Floyd is because he's black. There I said it!

Bingo........

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

**** Ambassador for his sport! Had he been a better Ambassador of the sport it would've helped make more Superstars but instead while it was on top it seems like he went out of his way to make sure that it was strictly about HIM and that he made ALL THE MONEY!

Ali not only took a young Ray Leonard under his wing but also had legends who wasn't doing so well financially like Ray Robinson and Joe Louis as part of his entourage




So yeah that is my criticism of him! Sure he sing the praises of the legends before him at the WBC Conventions and all that stuff but still could've done a better job selling his own sport so that everybody could eat instead of the typical "I Don't Know Who That Is" like he did for most of his career

He was able to put himself in a Position Of Power in the sport like NOBODY HAS but haven't don't **** with it other than make a ton of money which is great but if only he was smart he really could've gotten more accomplished beyond just money. Maybe Organize a Union for the Fighters or something

Let's face it, these are the main reasons that most of you hate on him.

1. He's rich beyond most people's wildest dreams. People hate that.
2. He's black (Yes racism is still rampant and lots of people are racist).
3. He's the best and is very outspoken about everything he believes in.

If you don't like him because of the domestic violence situation that's understandable, but you also need to realise there was never any photo's released so did he even really do it or did he just get set up and screwed over in the whole situation? People get in trouble all the time for crimes they didn't commit and if he really did it there has to have been some proof. Last thing regarding that, i'm not saying he did or he didn't do it and I don't condone it. However everybody makes mistakes and Sugar Ray Robinson went through a lot of similar things in his career. No problem with you judging those guys personally for what they did, but let's not let that interfere with the fact that they are two of the GOAT's regardless.

I respect this post, spoken like a fan but not a nuthugger.

Another thing is, he's just so great at the sport that he makes it boring because nobody can keep up with him. He's just on a different level to everyone but it's not his fault that there's nobody that can challenge him. Put it this way, Ali was in the same situation. Everybody HATED this man when he was at the top then once he retired and boxing struggled because there was no one like him, all of a sudden all of these haters ended up being on his d!ck and saying how great he was. Expect the exact same thing to happen with Mayweather when he's done.

Last thing I would say is the persona he has portrayed. He gave up being really well liked in order to sell more (which is fine, he was never going to be portrayed like say Pacquiao anyway). But when people see you talking about money all the time, spending tons of it and being in rooms with lots of mostly naked women etc it breeds envy and hate from a lot of people and he knows this. Yeah it's only a persona to sell himself, but a lot of people aren't going to think about that or see that, they just think "what an idiot". Still, I mean if you asked one of us would we rather most people like us and have $100 million or some people like us and have $200 million I think most would pick the $200 million without much hesitation.

I don't know how many people hated Lance Armstrong.
This t.b.e. guy claims he's clean and accuses his rivals of cheating.
Man that's de****able. If you really think about it.
