    Same old same old,"look at my cars" look how much money I got".

    All access like 24/7 shows us that as a human being Floyd is seriously flawed and has very few people skills,he struggles when it comes to speaking to his children that is clearly obvious.

    In an earlier episode he showed his lack of class when skyping those American soldiers in Afghanistan and gave them a tour of his garage and flash cars via his ipad.

    He continues to contradict himself when he opens his mouth about family and money and what`s important to him.

    He is a great fighter and watching him in the gym and the ring is awesome but the rest of it is just nonsense lapped up by people who should really know better.

    I was actually happy to see a more flamboyant version of Floyd again rather than a guy who didn't come up with fresh content i.e it got to the extent where he was just repeating the same words.

    He got rid of Miss Jackson too, glad about that tbh.

    His relationship with his kids seem fine tbh.

    I had a phase where I didn't really like Floyd as much because of his comments like 'what did Africa do for me?' which is seriously flawed, but he's a cool guy in different ways. I really liked Floyd a couple of years ago when I was like 17-20 ish so I'll continue to support him.

    Although he shouldn't call himself TBE when he's taking fights like Maidana.

    The sad thing with Floyd is a he is a very nice dude but sometimes he feels the need to be ignorant which I don't understand I always will never forget after one fight I cant pinpoint which one he cried and thanked everyone it was very touching you can tell he is a nice dude.

    He's one of those dudes who tries too hard to fit into society, and wasn't brought up with morals, and his brain is fixed in making him always trying to prove a point - his dad obviously beat that mindset into him when he was young. That is why Floyd is who he is today. Floyd cannot possibly live and perceive life any other way.

    It's his job to evolve and rewire his brain in ways that are more beneficial, it's his responsibility, but I would reserve spiteful judgements etc.

    It's like psychopathy, these dudes do not have any function in their pre-frontal cortex, it outwardly turns them into monsters, but they can't see that it is 'wrong' to kill, only that it is 'not the best idea' for certain reasons i.e getting caught. That part of their brain doesn't function.

    - That's an extreme example, but I just mentioned it to emphasise that he's wired that way.

    Floyd Sr. is a ****ed up man, who had drug addictons and took that excess anger out on his son so Floyd Jr doesn't end up as ****ed up but also because Sr had anger problems, but excess can cause people to get ****ed up in a different way.

    You know it's weird i actually feel bad for Floyd in ways, as people have pointed out his social skills are lacking, how many friends does he actually have, everyone around him appears to be a hanger on, his relationship with his family is complex and strained at best, his dad truely is a messed up man and that has rubbed off on JR, Like even the way 3 of his kids live in LA and he in Vegas, no matter what money you've got being that far away from your kids and only having them together during holidays, (Spring Break they said on All Access) that's got to hurt a man and while he may love his kids he doesn't appear to have the closest of bonds with them and them living in LA you can understand it. In reality i think Floyd is a very insecure unhappy guy his family situation is mesed up and i doubt he can count on one hand the number of real friends he's got.

    I remember one clip on 24/7 Floyd said his dad use to beat him up for no reason just for fun and today he takes it out on his opponents its really a messed up situation.

    I thought about watching it. Then, In the beginning. . . . There was Mayweather, sayinh he wants to be the best ever.

    And that's when I tuned out! (God, what a joke!)

    He's a narcissist. They lack empathy and you need empathy to be able to love.

    dude,
    how the phuck can you think someone you NEVER met never mind know is like that ?
    i've been to at least 5 of his camps and was a participant in 2 of them. he is truly one of the BEST dudes in all of sports. he is NOTHING at all like you see on the camera. that was his whole goal, for people to think he is this clown who needs yes men and be outrageous so people either hate him or love him.

    that is exactly how he made himself the biggest star in sports. clowns like you buy into his act

    Yeah he's off his rocker if were talking about money and what he generates let him have that but I don't recall Oscar or Tyson ever claiming to be the best ever because they made so much money ..If he wants to be taken serious get Manny in the ring and beat him than we can start having those discussions ..But all this cherry picking will not even make him close to the best ever .
