    "Pac needs to be his own boss like me"
    "I'm fight under GBP"

    or

    "I have the final say in my fights!"
    "You'll have to speak with Ellerbe/Haymon on my next opponent"

    Floyd's a walking contradiction, too dumb to even know it.

    You are supposed to feel sorry for him because he is so stupid and has no self control...

    No he's making good money and will be in HOF while most likely leaving the pro's with his health. What's to feel sorry for that?

    I gotta go with Mayweather. I don't think Mosley matches up that well with Floyd. Shane is an aggressive fighter by nature. He's going to be coming forward, throwing wide shots, and getting hit with counters all night long. He simply doesn't have the jab to disrupt Floyd's offense. His age and inactivity aren't going to help either.

    Hopefully Nazeem picks up on some of the points you made and gets Shane to use his long ass arms to jab Floyd consistently. But Floyd is just so good defensively you have to question who can beat him. I think Floyd will win a UD.

    he called him a C+ fighter WOW.

    Its common knowledge within the sporting world, controversy and rivalry draws numbers. You just wait and see how many people will tune it to see Tiger Woods return, do you think State of Origin would be viewed the way it is, if they didnt create the NSW "hates" Queensland vibe and the trash talk that each side makes prior to the game.

    It happens in all sports and if you cant see that its a ploy to generate numbers and money then your simply an idiot.

    Floyd fought the tougher competition when he was at the lower weights and also played the nice guy role at the same time. Did he generate the numbers he does now or did he come even close ? NO!

    He created this image of himself now because he knows that's wat sells and whether u like it or not u will sit ur ass down and watch him whether u love or hate him.

    He already shown he can be the nice and mature guy when he was at 135, so really your philosophy about him being immature "because thats the person he is" really is null and void.

    Yeah, this poster is living up to the opinion I've formed of all the people I've met of American persuasion - arrogant, loud, know-it-all, desperate to pigeonhole people, and accuse everyone else of being wrong. Not that I think all Americans are like that, but this bald_dick_head certainly displays these qualities and he is American.

    In all honesty guys, you watch Floyd after that bell sounds. He's extremely respectful, and that leads me to believe he is doing it for promotional purposes as well as trying to gain a mental advantage. I have a hard time believing someone who's that big of an ******* could be that respectful and humble after the fight. Don't buy to much into it.

    Look at the hostility from bald_dick_head in response to the OP, which contained no persoanal attacks on Floyd.

    Is this the same bald_dick_head who constanly throughout this thread is telling everyone else that they are taking Floyd's 'African American trashtalking' far too seriously? :lol:

    You're too obtuse to pick it up, despite the fact it's right there in front of you.
