Why is everyone hoping floyd gets beat?

[Kid Achilles]

For all the reasons Anorak stated, plus his nickname is kinda fruity. If you wanna call yourself Pretty Boy and you're a fighter, you better look and fight like this man.

1. He's a charmless ****

2. His fans are some of the most boorish and fantatical on here, always devising amateur psychology for why people don't like him.

3. He's not fighting the highest competition he could be. Granted, neither are his peers, but they're not the ones boasting about how they're the "greatest ever"

4. Even if he did fight the best competition out there, the talent pool isn't currently deep enough to justify him comparing himself to the likes of Robinson and Leonard

5. No one likes a man who strikes women

6. Everyone loves an underdog.

7. There's zero discussion about Floyd when it comes to his fans. (Most of them, anyway).

If you talk about a Floyd match-up, it's always "Floyd will own his ass, end of." Okay, you're probably RIGHT, but this is a discussion board. Sometimes it'd be nice to discuss, you know?

So if he gets beat, we can have a laugh at the nay-sayers who claim he's invincible, "end of".

The woman story was fake, refer to the post above, Agree with number 6, as for number 4, who do you think is the best competition for him out there? name any fighter under 154 who you think is the best competition for him, ODLH and Mosley fights are in 2007. who else?

Nice reason. I was thinking about that my self, why does'nt Mayweather fight like a bare knuckle fighter who never in his life wore boxing gloves.

I mean, the problem with this (and I'd heard two other women makes complaints about him... and why did his wife suddenly change her mind?) is that by saying who he should fight we get drawn into discussion of politics and who ducked who.

But what makes it worse is not who he doesn't fight, but how he talks about them. When he was at 140 his biggest rivals were Hatton and Cotto. Now, Arum isn't gonna let Floyd feast on Cotto, but Floyd was saying he'd beat him easily in about four rounds anyway.

You know, for me, talking about what you'd do and not backig it up in the ring isn't the way to go about things. It would be fair enough if his opponents were better, but a lot of Floyd fans are deriding Margarito and saying he hasn't done enough to earn a shot at Floyd.

That may be so... but when Floyd's last four opponents number Bruselles, a shot Gatti who was never that good anyway, a shot Sharmba Mitchell, a Zab Judah who was outpointing him in every way except, mysteriously, on the cards until the halfway stage and was again, never as good as he's made out to be (note how he crept into The Ring's P4P ratings just before it was announced he was due to fight Floyd... suspcious, much?) ... then what's the difference? You can only disparage potential opponents when the ones you ARE fighting are **** hot.

People are now saying that Floyd's doing the right thing by going for the linear titles. And that's true, he is. But let's not pretend that Baldomir is anything more than an earnest journeyman that Floyd is expected to beat with ease.

Ray would have won, Mayweather started at Super featherweight, Ray started at Welterweight and went on to fight Middleweights, Super middleweights and Lightheavyweight fighters.

Yea thats a good reason he would have won because he started at super feather and Leonard started at welter. Your absolutely right that is the reason he would have won. Good insight to support your reason for him winning.

It was'nt his wife, it was his ex girlfriend, Most people actually know floyd did'nt do it, but they just try to degrade Mayweather in any way they can.
she claimed the incident happened 4 years back, then why did she report it so late? because mayweather was rich and she was looking for some easy money. when your rich and your in an environment that is violent to the public eye, everybody your with is being assaulted...

Honestly tell me what has Margarito done to get a shot at Floyd? His biggest win is against Kermit Cintron, thats it, What did Kermit do before his loss to Margarito? later on Margy fights "*******" Gomez...

Gatti was a champion when Floyd fought him, some people were predicing Gatti would win because he has good power, etc...when floyd beat him that easily people started saying he is shot instead of giving floyd credit, Mitchell I admit was shot, but it was a tune-up fight for Judah, in which Floyd won too, but would'nt get credit.

People are now saying that Floyd's doing the right thing by going for the linear titles. And that's true, he is. But let's not pretend that Baldomir is anything more than an earnest journeyman that Floyd is expected to beat with ease.

Now if Floyd beats Baldomir he deserves all the credit, an earnest journeyman would'nt be able to beat Judah and Gatti, Baldomir is the biggest guy Mayweather is facing, should Floyd win he will be the linear Welterweight champion, he is getting paid MORE than he did against Margarito, and Baldomir is a tougher fight than Margarito, Baldomir has beaten Judah and Gatti, 2 named fighters that would make his resume look better than Margarito's whole resume, Margarito has beaten Cintron and Lewis (After lewis got beaten by Mayorga)

Margarito has been in the Welterweight division since 1996, thats 10 years, and he has'nt fought any fighters worth of note, he is the self-proclaimed most feared welterweight king that says everyone is ducking him, but when 11 fighters called him out he did'nt want anything to do with them (Collazo,Quintana,Smith,Spinks,Rivera,Harris, Ouma, etc etc...

btw when Margarito confronted Floyd, floyd told him that he will eventually fight him but after oscar so they both get bigger pay days, should margarito beat clottey and williams, and floyd beats baldomir and oscar, then this fight would be big because margarito actually beat some fighters.

There is a difference is size, Leanord beat arguably one of the best middleweights of all times, and Im a floyd fan but I cant see him fighting over 154 lbs, he can beat any fighter till 154 lbs.

Floyd can win against Leanord, but Leanord would have the size advantage.

Margarito beats smaller men, once he beat someone his size with limited skills, he got beaten up, so he learn his lesson that size does matter, beat up on smaller opponents instead.

[FeelTheA-Force]

Just a question...Some guys even claim they are fans yet they want to see him get beat, some guys are rooting for floyd, yet they want to see him get beat, dont understand why?

I dont like Floyd, i dont like his ****eyness and i dont like him becoz hes hand picked his opponants ever since castillo nearly beat him.

[tongpo2000]

floyd is black too...you know floyd does talk and he backs it up, thats why i have so much respect for him, what he earns or what he does with his money is no ones business, what he talks it does'nt matter because he backs it up, floyd is going to be hated but whens its all over and done with he will get his respect.

I found this comment rediculous. It doesn't matter what he says as long as he backs it up? If i say i'm going to go beat a homeless bag woman to death, and then I do it. Would you have respect for me?

I have respect for Mayweathers boxing ability and I love to watch him fight, but he is definitely an *******! He's too ****y, too arrogant, too obnoxious, gets too much money, and is incredibly annoying. At least to me.

I have mixed feelings about him losing though. It would be nice to have a legendary boxer who keeps winning and beats everyone he faces. However, if that boxer is a loudmouthed prick, then that scenario isn't so nice.

You said when it's all over and done Floyd will get his respect. I can only speak for myself, but I will never respect him for anything other then his boxing talent and dedication to the sport. He's a ****ing jerk and he doesn't deserve loyal fans like yourself....

I know it won't happen but I hope he gets embarressed by Baldomir and learns a little humility.
