    When he was a more normal, more honest, less insecure guy.

    Well ya... maybe at that time, he wasnt. He was in love with the sport.

    Then he fell out of love with the sport... and started fighting for money.

    Seems simple enough to me.

    Personally I dont think that ever changed dude just had to create a persona to draw in attention, at the end of the day the best fights usually draw the most money dispite what all the haters say dude fought nothing but top rated champs since 2006 to say he ever only did it for money is laughable.

    Everyone in this sport, all sports and all professions is there for the money. Whoever says "I am here 100% for legacy!!!!" is lying to your face regardless of how convincing it seems and looks.

    He didn't want to beat those women, or take those drugs, but you do what you gotta do 'for the persona.' He was always a piece of ****.

    PBF and Money May are as different as Deontay and the Bronze Bomber.

    The difference is mind bubbling.

    This, you can do something for the love of it maybe up to your early twenties. Then you gotta start thinking about the money one way or the other.

    Yeah you can understand what he says. What part don’t you understand. By the way your use of the word “legibly” is incorrect. The term applies only to physical text (print or handwriting) not speaking.

    Damn coronavirus has people picking stupid fights like 7 years ago or something. All these new fighters to pick on and you choose Floyd?
    Floyd is old news, please let him stay away.
