    Before Floyd's retirement I was an avid defender of Floyd, I was even affliated as a joy boy by some back then. But Floyd's comeback has been nothing short of a big ass joke. His presence only hurts the sport and will continue to do so until he backs up his own words or retires.

    I respect his skills no doubt but fighting who he wants is what causes the problem. Mainly the reason why May Vs Pac did not happen, he doesn't want it period. Maybe he should sometimes listen to what the fan says, well I'm sure he does but chooses to ignore it.

    But you really have no choice but to respect what he is doing inside the ring may it be a boring one or not, his skill is unmatched.

    This respect goes the same way especially to Pacquiao's fearless motto. This dude would fight anyone.

    If you respect Mayweather and not respect Pacquiao then you are a hypocrite.

    I don't think any real fan deep inside doesn't respect Pac and what he has done. It's just impossible in my opinion. Even his biggest haters respect him that's why they mention him all the time and call him "pacroid" or all of that nonsense because they know his accomplishments can't be denied.

    So you respect someone who refuses to say he has a promoter, but is clearly Golden Boy property, and you have less respect for someone who has a promoter? What a shite reason to respect someone.

    bragging is synonymouse to FMJ. FMJ was absent when humility was tough is school.
    Just imagine a world full of people bragging. What an annoying world it will be!

    I respect that he takes the **** that's coming to him. He doesn't try too often to keep a clean image by using his trainer or promoter as an excuse for why this and that fight didn't happen.

    I don't respect him, he trumps up what he was before to what he is now.

    You're right, I hate....hate how he's a POS, egotistical, lame ass who hand picks his foes.

    P.S. Just so no one thinks "you're just a Pac ****" I'm not. I really don't have any attachment to either fighter.

    as a technical boxer, you cant fail to respect him.

    as a victor over 15 world champions, you cant fail to respect him.

    as the g.o.a.t? yes you can fail to respect him.

    I would respect him more if he took on his biggest challenges.

    At the time being, what is there to respect?

    He doesn't fight for the fans.

    He doesn't respect the sport. (meaning he don't respect you, the fans)

    He conducts himself like a spoilt child.

    **** Floyd seriously. The guy is everything wrong with the sport atm.
