    1) Calling someone a "*****" is a lame ass insult.
    2) wtf are you talking about? Care to elaborate?

    I've been a fan since he took on Chico, I like going for the underdog and smaller guy vs a bigger guy. With me it's like a love-hate deal. I think he has amazing skills, but he has zero wit outside the ring and I still think if he's as good as he thinks he is then has alot to prove. When I started hearing him say he was better than Robinson and Leonard I thought "Oh no you didn't." He has a HOF career and he's a modern legend, but he is no Robinson or Leonard.

    I like Floyd but he is no Benny Leonard.

    See that's your problem...yet you give Floyd full credit for beating a near 40 year old Shane coming off a 15month layoff and beating the "#2 p4p" Marquez who has no business fighting > 140lbs...and Floyd even cheated on the scales! You can't criticize everything about Pac, then turn around and praise Floyd for fights without looking at the circumstances. So either give both full credit, or criticize both...you can't have it both ways.

    And if you believe your last paragraph, then you seriously need to take your head out of Floyd's ass.

    I am a fan for sure, and the funny thing is I never was at the beggining of his career. I could care less of his out if the ring actions; there has been far worse acting individuals. If you compare him just to Pacman; its a little unfair.

    Mike Tyson, Muhamed Ali, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant,
    Alex Rodriguez, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger etc....I can go on forever.
    These are all great athletes who are made out as villains.

    Floyd is a great talent and good for boxing, period.

    Skills? Yes.

    Mouth? No.

    I miss the younger Floyd when he used to just smile for the cameras and kept his comments clean. The "Money" act is not really needed IMO.

    I still think he's the most skilled boxer I've seen since the 80s though.

    I still **** with Floyd. He's a dickhead but that's no mystery. And that's what I give him a pass on. It's the transforming, switch siding, snakes I hate.

    Junior needs to clean up his act, or he will be going down.. like, downtown, to the local precinct.

    I actually kind of like old man Senior, though. Hey, it can't easy living with that lung disease he has, or whatever it is.

    when he is in the ring, he just incredible.. no-one would deny that... What he does outside the ring, he looks like a douchebag as far as i can tell.. but i gotta i don't really care... Wish he would fight more and would ve fought Zoo 5 years ago, Cotto 3 years ago and Pac now.. Too say he is a coward and doesn't fight great fighters is beyond stupid...

    He has considerably a better resume then Pac... and has definitely more worldclass fighters ( in their prime) on his resume... Only new fans and casual fans to this sport would say otherwise...like the starter of this thread :), who has only seen the second part of his career.. .His best wins were def in his first part, with corales at the very top...

    G. Hernandez, Manfredy, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Corales, Castillo, Corley, N'dou, gatti, Zab, Baldomir, Hatton, Oscar, JMM, Mosley....

    That's an incredible list to go thru unbeaten... And only Oscar and Mosley weren't in their prime when he fought them, but were still damn good and top of their division... And JMM is the only one he didn't fought in their own weight
     
  12. OK so check it out. He's a cocky, arrogant son of a ***** who I really really.....really wanna see get knocked out. But his skill fascinates me. He's like a scientist. A sweet ****ing scientist. Everyone who fights him is an underdog because no one matches his skill... And thats why I'm a fan.

    But, as Teddy says, if only he would behave like a fighter...

    If you are a fan of boxing you should still be a fan of Floyd.....based on how he performs in the ring. Outside the ring and in terms of Floyd personality I can understand NOT LIKEING HIM.....but he's awesome for what he can do inside the ropes.
