I dont hate Floyd at all, his boxing style is boring he runs! boxing was supposed to be like Marquez vs Casamayor.
Its the hate of the cocky black man. They dont understand that it is not to be taken seriously. Any non urban white who never participated in pro or even rec league sports will not understand. Blacks talk smack in sports. Not just boxing, but all sports. Its what you do as a kid growing up. I have never been a part of a quiet basketball game where you just play. Nah man, you talk ****. "You cant guard me, watch me go left...wait..." "Brick!" I mean its just having fun in what you are doing.
I think it's just general hate of what people perceive as ignorant behaviour but Scar is slowly convincing me that with Floyd it's just an act.
That can't be it..because they accept arrogant behavior from other fighters...like Mayorga...and Vargas. Vic Darchynian said mexicans bounce off the canvas funny...that's arrogant and racist...nobodies hating him.:think
I don't think any of those fighters claimed to be the GOAT though. Do you believe it's a race issue then?
I find it funny that Floyd's fans talk about how much money he has. You Floyd fans talk about how Boxing is business so, how much of that chunk if Floyd giving you guys? :rofl Either way, the reason Mayweather gets hate is because he doesn't fight the best. He fights smaller guys like Marquez and he hasn't fought fighters in his division like Williams, Clottey, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto. Cotto gets mad respect because he does fight the best. He's fought Judah, Margarito, Mosley, Pacquiao, etc. That's why Cotto is so popular same with Hatton and other fighters. All you Floyd fans that say it's because it's race no it's not, because Calzaghe never fought the best either and he's the most hated boxer on this forum.
I second that post!!! how about (D) all of the above so they are racist who hate cocky black men and dont know **** about boxing...
This is a fair enough post, although i can see 1 or 2 other reasons for disliking floyd. The whole Baldomir/Margarito argument always baffled me i must say. 8 million to fight a guy for the welterweight crown or 8 million to fight some guy called margarito? Plus the fact that baldomir had just beaten judah. And does anyone actually believe Floyd isn't going to pot-shot his way to a wide decision over margo? The cheating one is so friggin slow
Hmm many of them doesnt give pac full credit in the same way that many doesnt give floyd his, it has been and will always be like that
