    Its a shame a 33 year old father of 3 or 4 behaves like a 12 year old sometimes. He just cant seem to figure himself out.

    One press conference: Shane is just an HBO fighter. Im a PPV fighter.
    Next one: HBO has been amazing to both our careers.

    One press conference: We really dont know how many fights Shane won because he was on steroids
    Next one: Hes a future hall of famer. One of the best WW.

    One press conference: Im a smart busniess man
    Next one: Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe conduct my business.


    Seriously the guy cannot stop changing his tune. Just recycles the same old lines over and over and over. "I just wanna change sports period".
    "I dont know anyone who wouldnt take a 25 mil drug test". Add in the constant stuttering and it gets really bad.

    All respect to Floyd as a fighter, a future HOFer but its just a shame to see the way he conducts himself.

    I think Mayweather Sr said it best: "All Lil Floyd knows is boxing".

    No point analysing him. It's all for hype.

    I think he says ANYTHING that comes to his mind.

    Nah we feel sorry for you and this dumb thread.

    You are so simple that you can't see the difference between an objective assesment (you have nothing to gain/lose) and fight hype (you have something to gain/lose).

    Take a look at all of those statements, put them in context, then before you evaluate them ask yourself, "Is this objective or is this fight hype?" If you did the answers would be clear.

    You can't see how he conducts himself because you are too simple to evaluate situational context.

    Dont give me that. Your saying Floyd is doing it to hype a fight? No. He doesnt know how to conduct himself. Its as simple as that. Its ok to trash talk but as someone else pointed out in another thread, when Floyd does it its not even witty. When he talks he just comes across as very uneducated. He makes himself look bad, continually spewing out the same lines again and again. Im saying I honestly feel bad because a 33 year old in my opinion should have control of them selves and what they say. Floyd clearly does not.

    Wait after he retires and is broke and living under a bridge. It's inevitable.

    Then you'll really feel sorry.

    Not only is Floyd incredibly stupid (except for boxing , where he is a genius), he is totally oblivious to the fact that he is an idiot.
    Of course he is his fathers son, and Sr. passed down his stupid genetics .
    Jr. seems to have inherited his horrible personality from his primitive uncle.
    The love of hitting women , little Floyd got from both uncle and dad.
    He is an incredible boxer though and poor Mosely will be schooled.

    i think all floyd trys to do is sell fights and it works. floyd is one of the most disliked figures in boxing but people still shell out money to see him fight.
    whether you tune in to see his boxing skills or to see if someone can shut his mouth its all money in the bank and floyd realizes this.
    floyds salesman skill is close to his boxing skill, he says what is needed so people see him fight

    STFU. Your an idiot. All through your life you say exactly the truth? It is human nature to "politic".

    Not "witty" to you. Why? Because your dry butt has never been exposed to trash talk. Now you drop the "uneducated" bomb? Is Manny educated? Was Ali? Tyson? Why should he be humble? Should he act more "average" like you? He is the best in the world! Your sorry butt is really talking in codes that you use for anyone who doesn't fit your world view.

    Why don't YOU just say what is in your heart?

    Like a few others said, I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone with $20 million more dollars in the bank than me.
