    Yes Than God for Ricky Hatton, Kelly Pavlik, Jesus, The pope, and all of the other wonderful white people.
    It's too bad they even allow the undesireables in the sport.

    You're the one that has been hiding after you let slip about your stalking exploits:deal

    You on WI-FI in a bush outside Floyd's house or something?

    It's interesting when one looks at at the "why" regarding Floyds reputation for being one of the fakest mother****ers alive. The guy basically started watching MTV at some point and saw Fitty and a handful of others bullshitting about how "real" they are. So then, ******-see-******-do, Floyd starts screaming at everybody about how "real" he is - and this is the proof that he's phony. He's like a child. And phony as hell.

    Floyds father was a drug dealer, his mother and aunt were drug addicts. His father was shot in the leg while he was holding Floyd. That pretty much says it all about his upbringing despite what his father says. I doubt Vicky saw any of that in his pub.

    floyds father might have been a drug dealer but he wasn't selling drugs to put food on the table, he was dealing cocaine for the big money, he wasn't out in the streets selling drugs,

    and so what if his mom took drugs?

    2 of my older brother are addicts, one used to sell, does that make me a thug?

    Mayweathers not a thug either. Judah is a thug, Judah still roles dice and beats up people on the street. Mayweather is just cocky and arrogant and lives a flashy lifestyle. Thats about as far away from thug as you can get. But when you look at his father and uncle, and you can see that besides boxing these guys dont have much going on in their skulls, then when Mayweather says he grew up 7 to 1 room with no electricity I believe him.

    Floyd Snr doesnt deny beating Floyd and the fact remains they barely talk now. Something must have gone down.

    I dont think Floyd grew up in a ghetto but maybe his upbringing had tough times, you can have tough times without been dirt broke

    Floyd's character strikes me more of that of a rapper, not a sportsmen. Then again, Ali and Tyson were not too far from him also.

    This is a boxing forum, we discuss everything here.
    Do you think it's that wrong to question his personality, at least the one he is showing us, and the one he is showing his father, etc?
    The other guy said something about me being racist or whatnot, thats complete and utter bull****, I am just questioning Floyds personality, that is it! Now if you can't take it, or even leave a valid comment without bursting out for your sensitivity on Floyd, then you should stay out of this thread.
    Thanks.

    Floyds from a nice neighborhood in a city that is mostly nice neighborhoods with a few rough spots, Grand Rapids. He is in no way shape or form a thug.

    If your mother was on drugs when you grew up, she wasnt really "there". See what I mean?
