    It’s frustrating as hell to know what a fighter is capable of, but due to his unwillingness to risk his undefeated record and his ignorant and unlikable persona watch him go from what he could be to what he has become. Floyd’s greatness will only truly be appreciated after his career has been over for a while in much the same way that unpopular and less gifted Larry Holmes became more respected as the years went by. It’s human nature not to give a man his just due when you don’t like him on a personal level, and conversely to give a person too much credit when you do like them.

    KFC could have been the Fighter Of The Decade. But his cowardness put him in his spot...taking the backseat to the little Asian midget.

    I wouldn't dislike Floyd but he's such a fraud with so much talent... and I don't like how he fights nowadays. Safety first, no agression, no heart. Pac is 1 p4p. No way Floyd is above him.

    He's nowhere near underrated as his PPV sales show.

    He's just a wasted talent, that's all.

    I think its the exact opposite reason that most ppl are unhappy about Floyd.

    They know he has supreme skills and talent he just does not put them to the test.

    He's ranked right behind Pac despite not wanting to fight the best since becoming a WW...he's not under rated at all.

    is 'cos he is black and slick init. just racialist media brainwash the american public and trying to put a young black man down who speaks his mind.

    So criminally underrated and under appreciated that he only got 1.25m buys for his fight with Ortiz. That is disgusting number for someone of his skillz. shows you what the dumb american public know about boxing. fk all.

    Floyd has been very aggressive in his most recent fights. He took the fight to Mosley and Ortiz, etc..
