Why do Floyd fans live vicariously through him?

People are often drawn to the lowest common denominator because it is the easy path. It's easy to be arrogant, disrespectful, and selfish, it's even easier to be that way when you are worth half a billion dollars. It's a lot harder to be selfless, respectful, compassionate and responsible for your own words and actions. These people are not a fan of accountability or self-reflection. They would rather wallow in ignorance and arrogance all of their lives, which is why many of them are bottom-feeders who will never climb that social ladder of success. So they must live vicariously through their heroes like Floyd.
Unfortunately, there is a large segment of the community who still admires the outspoken athlete who is successful, wealthy, and conducts himself like a sociopath. It gives them validation and they feel empowered.Comment

Nobody is living "through" him, I think they just believe in the truth, greatness, and talent. Its a great thing to have a great champion, someone that rises above the rest.
Also, it's a sad thing to see gods like Ray Robinson drooling into his golden years. Floyd is so good and smart that he won't losing his mind as he gets older. Thats something remarkable. It breaks my heart to see RJJ fighting guys like Maca and getting ko'd cuz he needs the money.
I love boxing so much that I care about boxers health. They give us something great and in return I want something great for them which is good health! Seeing a fighter with brain damage is sad to me and it should be sad for everyone else!!!Comment

Floyd's groupie and Manny's groupie are on another level. I suspect ur one of the 2...
Lomasexual?? Yeah ur defenetely a groupie of a specific fighter.
At the sametime I get why those 2 fighters have so many groupies.. both ATG..Last edited by boxinggod101; 07-24-2017, 10:16 AM.Comment

theres a difference though man, i dont pick the teams/athletes i support purely because they share same skin colour as me as some way of advancing a racial cause. Man these guys were hardcore fans of broner coming up, the biggest piece of **** going, just cause he was black. And theres a differnce between being a fan and an obsession, these guys start talking about floyds finances, defending him beating up that woman etc, they literally live through him. thats not all floyd fans, theres reasonable ones too, but thats the impression i get from manyComment

Handle the truth?? The truth of what, b*tch? **** like whether or not a 40 year old boxer can read or not?
B*tch you think I give a **** one way or the other about some trivial ass **** like that? Believe it or not some people unlike your basement dwelling ass got actual other real life **** happening than to worry about whether or not a pro boxer that I or you will never meet in your sad pathetic inept ass lifetime can read or not
Think about this **** for a second you scrub. Your entire tragic existence has been reduced to (in your tragically sad mind) coming on an internet message board to "expose truths" on trivial ass bull**** like a 40 year old man's reading level. You're f**king pathetic, lmfao. You are the epitome of pathetic. I shudder at the thought of what kind of sad lame lonely existence you must lead in actual reality.
F**king loser.Comment
