    He's never lost, and people hate perfection. The fact that he flaunts his perfect record around in every interview really puts the heat on.

    Floyd comes off phony....no one likes a phony. Even truly "bad guys" get love as long as they can pull off the whole persona. Like John Gatti....Mike Tyson...John McEnroe.. Bad boys who were loved by most with a fair share of haters. Floyd is hated by most with a small group of loyal supporters. If you have to "TRY" to be a "G"....then more than likely you're not doing a good job convincing anyone else who's not already on the kool-aid.

    He attracts hate cause what he does is hateful... some of you says its an act, so stop complaining when everybody rides along. Maybe he'll fit in jail and get the love he's looking for.

    They were hated by some....but loved by many more because they were genuwine. Not that they didn't have their faults and short comings...all men have them... but they were not seen as being "fake". What you saw is what you expected from them. No one expects Floyd to really be some kind of "OG" even though he tries to play the part.

    I don't have a beef with you, but they get a pass on smacking their old ladies around cause they were "genuine"? Sorry man, I just chalk it up to being a different time. A lot of women were going through that back then, but it has nothing to do with what you said. IMO

    a lot of fighter flaunts their unblemished records... not by being an ass. Hey if being the bad guy is his projected image of choice then let it be, just stop crying for being treated the way he deserves.

    I've never seen Floyd act like a thug. He just hangs with 50 cent who isn't a thug anymore.

    I can't talk to you man.

    I mean, look when you were two years old they set you in front of the television in your dirty diapers, you watched 6,8 hours of tv a day, you're brain never wire properly; and frankly talking to you is an insult to humanity.

    It has everything to do with being young, black and successful and nothing to do with just being an *******. That's why people hated Michael Jordan so much... oh wait....

    I don't like Floyd's personality at times. But it's just a character. Certainly wouldn't stop me enjoying his fights.

    Boxing 'fans' who ignore his talent and spend an entire fight wishing for that big shot that puts him down(You know you do), are beyond pathetic. He walks the walk, so let him talk the talk.
