The Problem With Floyd:

He gets criticsim because he's an arrogant, direspectful arsehole. He may be a great fighter but class is something he'll never have.

 

that is 1 of the problems

 

Very good point, I also believe that his defense first style isn't the most attractive to casual fans who love all out action. Perfect example would be all the fighters with the biggest fan bases Trinidad, Tyson, Hearns, Leonard, Duran etc. they all had explosive offensive talent and that is what catches the publics eye

 

Floyd had the world in his hand until the Baldo fight. Plus Hoya fight was not great. Hatton was a great fight for him, but instead of fighting Cotto as the world would like, he fights Hoya again. That why people don't want to see him, plus everything yall said

 

There really is something to that, it seems to me like PBF is getting a lot more criticism than he did one or two years ago:deal

 

Mayrunner avoids top fighter in general not just the top ten welterweights.

 

conundrum

 

I mean after the Zab fight people really like this guy. But after his perfromance against Baldo thats when peole start getting on him. I'm still a fan

 

Im a fan of his talent. But I find it difficult to be a fan of the man. He talks **** and acts like a punk. He throws money in the air to show off. Not the type of person I can relate to, or would want to relate to. When he actually fights a top fighter, he's an artist. As a person, he's a dick.

 

You said it yourself.

The problem with Floyd is that he is avoiding the top welterweights in his division whilst simuletaneously claiming to be the greatest fighter that has ever lived. That is Floyd's problem. That is Floyd's only problem.

 

STFU with this nonsense. It's simply not true.

 

might as well close the thread now...that's just nailed it.

 

Floyd is hands down the best in the world right now.

Though, if he is calling himself the greatest of all time, he must fight Cotto and a number of others for that mantle. After Cotto/Mosley/Margarito/Williams/Quintana, sort of thing, no one could question him.

Oh, wait, after those guys he will be ducking Kelly Pavlik, Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, and young Klitschko. With Klitschko's glass jaw, one wonders why Floyd still is afraid to fight him. Maybe Floyd is trying to hide his own weak chin that has never been tested? Oh well, something to think about.

 

I feel that Mayweather's fall from grace with boxing fans began with the Gatti fight where he sold himself as the villain. After that fight the emphasis shifted from people paying to watch Floyd fight to people wanting to see him lose.
