    Many fans not respecting Floyd is understandable. Many also thought Pacquiao won the fight. Floyd also ruined the fight with his head lock, hugging and running..He is also arrogant.

    You call Pac a loser but many people actually thought he won that fight. I thought he put up a hell of a fight considering his injury & the way he was sabotaged by the NSAC. At least he tried to make it a fight all Floyd did was his usual run,hide & hold.. Floyd has fantastic boxing skills, no one argues that but he just plain cannot "FIGHT" he lacks the cojones.
    People love a fighter Manny is a fighter

    Michael Jordan had quite a few that didn't like him. :patsch

    Your style bias shows, if you don't like "boxers" simply state that. Many of us prefer boxing as opposed to something I can see in a toughman competition.

    That's because they wanted him to lose and he didn't.

    So does every pro athlete. What's your point. He's still got a very favorable verdict in the court of public opinion.

    Yes but EVERYONE knows Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods etc. Show them a pic of Mayweather in street clothes not too many none boxing fans would have a clue who he was

    When you make comments like "why the **** should i donate money to Africa and help poor people out, what has Africa done for me?" then he shouldn't complain.

    Great fighter but pathetic individual and human being, he says he doesn't care about what people think or say so its all good at the end of the day. There will be a time in life where he will eventually need people and that's when this attitude will bite him up the back side.

    Irrespective of Pac's lost he will still be remembered as a legend and will be remembered very highly for a long while by fans.

    That's because boxing isn't as mainstream as basketball or golf. The media wasn't kind to Ali in the past but fast forward to today and he's regarded as the greatest. Plus, Woods and Jordan have endorsements.

    Only because once again the NSAC/Vegas sabotaged his opponent. Floyd cannot go into any fight giving his opponent an even break. Look at that 118-110 card & tell me whatever happened Pac was NOT going to get a decision EVER!!!!
