    Why do Floyd fans live vicariously through him?

    He doesn't care about you. Why defend him at every opportunity?

    Why do Floyd haters instantly cream in their pants at the idea of him losing?

      Because most of them never stepped foot inside a Kindergarten classroom. Their idea of education is the corner crackhead prophet talking about the end of times and how to steal a sundae from Burger King.

        Why do other fans do it with any fighter? It's certainly not just Floyd

          I will always root against Floyd because of how poorly he has represented my community. He has always been great at figuring out ways to promote himself and win decisions. I give him that, but if you can't respect how he wins, you obviously can't respect him for his life out of the ring. It makes him easy to hate.

            It isn't the same for fans of other fighters. I knew a Floyd fan who bought his wife a Floyd t-shirt. This guy literally asked his wife to wear a t-shirt with another man's face and name on it. Tell me another boxer who has fans who give up their women to him.

              I gotta agree there, as far as character he's pretty much the exact opposite of Muhammad Ali...

              You'd think with all of his money and fame he could've done something positive with it.

                  Guys do it all the times, football, racing, mmgay, baseball...you act like this is the ONLY sport where this happens. Wearing a t-shirt isn't living vicariously either...you need to re evaluate the meaning.

                    Yeah, but you at least don't hear from them since they don't speak English and don't have the internet.
