Why Floyd just can't get anyone's respect....

[BIG GUNZ]

In terms of just his boxing career a lot of it has to do with being a businessman first & not testing himself against elite fighters in their prime. He rarely fought any elite fighter in their absolute prime. Than he always wanted unfair advantages as well due to his corny A-side nonsense. The thing that’s sad is he would have highly likely still stayed undefeated if he tested himself more but there’s always going to be that what if.

same reason YOU PEOPLE get no RESPECT NONE without your lies and misinformation you guys wouldnt have shhhhh ffff you and your peeps ALWAYS

[GrandpaBernard]

No one's liked by everyone and no one is admired by all. He's a woman beater for Christ's sake.

Nearly all fighters and amateurs respect his abilities & skills

That's much better than having most of the civilian population like because "nice guy"

[tangalog2200]

Because floyd have it all.

Cheater
Cherry picker
PED cheater
Fight dirty
CW king
handicap his opponent
woman beater
Giving money to a strippers
etc....

all the traits that u hate to a boxer or a person just name it.

he runs so fast respect can't catch up with him...

[GhostofDempsey]

A big part of it is that he doesn’t show anyone else any respect. Got to give it to get it.

To recap, I know Mayweather is a little shiiiit outside the ring. I was speaking mostly from a boxing technical perspective.

for several reason! gayweather jr faked retirement to avoid the welterweight division when it was red hot! you had prime Pacquiao prime cotto prime margarito prime paul williams. gayweather jr ducked all of them! he ducked pacquiao for years until pac had been knocked out and slowed down tremendously jr is terrified of risks and her fights are horribly boring as well!

I remember years ago in like 2010, I wasn't really a poster but I seen a dude who would always post borderline racist ish, tracked him down somehow(via email that was public) and found out he had an account on **********. There's your answer.

Floyd is a great. Don’t like it when he holds or runs excessively, but cannot deny the legendary skills.

[The Big Dunn]

Another thread from another poster that favors Mexican boxers mad because Floyd beat ODH, JMM, Castillo and Positive for PED’s Canelo.

Also see a bunch of Manny fans chiming in. We know why they are mad.

Every so often we get threads like this and then as soon as the next “big thing” starts to blow up in the sport, the same guys make a point of saying that fighter is better than Floyd. Crawford, Spence, Loma, etc. etc.

He gets respect just in a passive aggressive way from the fans that know he’s the best of the era.
