    I'm all for trashtalking, its entertaining and definitely helps selling the fight. In a fight against DLH for example, you need to be a ***** since DLH will always come across as the nice guy with that big fake smile.
    But problem is that Floyd tries too hard.

    It seems like he tries too hard to get attention. He seems like a guy who really likes attention and acts like a kid to get it. Either way, you can't take it too serious. A lot of people really really hate the guy because of how he acts.... alot of it is acting.
    I think someone like Mayorga does a much better job of playing the villain

    Yeah I think so as well. Mayorga plays the villain brilliantly. greatest trashtalker of all time next to toney.

    Someone mentioned this off-hand here but I hadn't really thought about it yet...I hope PBF has some outrageous outfit to wear for the ringwalk again. Always worth a laugh. That gladiator get-up was priceless.

    Chris Eubank deserves mention here. He was a great showman.

    He does the Gangsta act mainly in Vegas or at press conferences. Im sure when he goes back to Michigan, especially in Detroit, he's more humble.

    Haters of Floyd really amaze me. He's called Gayweather, Mayflower and all sorts of gay hating stuff. Now you're hating on how he acts when that's exactly what it is 'AN ACT!!!' I think all these haters really want to be like Floyd and touch his stuff while they are at it.

    I agree. I liked him as a fighter, but there were times when I wanted to ring his skinny neck. I think Floyd does a great job in playing the villian. Need proof? Just look at all of the hatred he get on this site.

    I disagree, he must be playing the villian good, because a lot of people on here hate him :yep besides, it was done to bring in the big money.

    when someone is dominant people always look for reasons that they aren't as good as they plainly are. always.
