In a way, he's the ultimate villain because people that generally cheer for villains look at him as a phony and don't like his generally safety-first style and people that cheer for good guys dislike him for obvious reasons. So in the end, almost everybody wants to see him get his ass beaten. At this point, it doesn't backfire more than it helps Floyd and it's too late for him to be the good guy.. especially since the other two top welters are good guys (Cotto, Williams) and fights with them are easier to hype when he's a villain. But if Floyd was humble, accepted the good guy/loveable American role like Sugar Ray Leonard, and aimed for commercial/crossover success early on in his career, he could have been a much bigger draw today.
Yeah I'm addicted to these episodes. But I gotta say I'm getting tired of Ricky's "I'm such a good guy and Floyd's a bad person" rants, how many times can you say "I'm just one of the lads" we heard you the first time... And what about Roger's girlfriend, how did that happen, she's hot as hell lol. Plus his kid just starts doing "shoulder rolls" when he gets excited in the store, he's freaking 3 years old lol, the next champion from the mayweather branch?
Yeah, what the hell is up with Floyd looking at the camera as he's hitting the mitts? I liked the end when Hatton was in the car at night saying something about there is no doubt in my mind who's gonna win this fight. Dramatic stuff. Wasn't a bad special...except the part with Roger grocery shopping. Put that **** in the lounge. How's that related to boxing???
#II was toned down a bit and more enjoyable to watch. I like the fact that neither fighter believe they can possibly be beat! Let's get ready to rumble! I wonder why they do not show Ricky's house? I was relieved to see Ricky's little boy wasn't an exact replica of his dad.....he was a handsome little guy.
