    Floyd Jr. wouldn't be the douche bag he is today.
     
  2. Mayweather show's plenty signs of personality disorders and social issues imo which probably was caused by abuse and his upbringing. He's like a much subtler version of Michael Jackson in that he's still like a big kid who's childhood was probably taken away from him. In the 24/7 scenes when is with his mam he is actually like a 8 year old clinging onto her and dumbing down entirely.

    RJJ's dad apparently beat young Roy repeatedly.
    Making him train literally from morning to night when he was a child and Roy seemed to turn out like a decent guy.

    Depends on the person I suppose.

    Floyd Jr didnt have a childhood basically. Wasnt allowed to play other sports an do other **** most kids do because it would distract him from boxing. Its understandable why he has some of the issues he has

    Roy acted a bit obnoxious, but an angel compared to Floyd.

    He became a professional boxer due to his father's abuse.

    Floyd wouldn't be the advanced boxer he is today without his daddy issues

    social issues? personality dissorder? man u got it all wrong. Just to make a point, he's got over 3 million twitter followers, so SOCIALLY he's doing alright. And I dont think a person with "personality dissorder" could be the highest paid athlete in the world.

    As for his daddy issues, who doesn't have problems with their fathers during a lifetime? I mean, come on. And on top of that, who are we to judge people? Like we dont have our own problems. This is the biggest disease within a human being; always looking at other peoples faults while ignoring ourselves.

    I don't know if there is much correlation between a father being abusive and the kid being a douche. I have friends who had fathers who were abusive, and my friends are great guys, and then I have friends whose fathers were really nice to them and those friends are the douches. So I don't think there is a connection.
     
  10. Is that you Floyd?
