    Good article on fox sports.

    http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/Floyd-Mayweather-Boxing-villain-for-life-091411

    I especially liked this part;

    "He has a large and loyal following willing to hunch over a keyboard and pound out profanity-laced attacks at those who speak ill of their hero. He also has an equally large, if not larger, group of loyal detractors quite possibly more willing to fill forums, message boards and comments sections with personal attacks on the boxer's life and career"

    Great article, probably the most accurate and fair one i've read of Floyd to date

    The pre-fight hype and histrionics Floyd creates before a fight is unmatched in boxing today. you gotta give him credit for that, even though he's cooning

    I think Floyd said before that he has too much to lose if he lost against Pac. Black folks dont support him the way Filipinos support Pac. The gripe that he has that America doesnt support him or that there's a racial element involved is also a valid point

    i've said it before, i do believe he is afraid to be emasculated by Pacquiao and considers him to be a threat

    He's earned his title! He's a jerk, plain and simple.

    We know. The words dumb and worse fit in your vocab when Floyd is discussed. Who trained you in this thought, Arum?

    That's what Floyd believes, and there is some truth to it. He is an arrogant black man and the white media isnt gonna put up with that unless he's exciting as **** and knocking people the **** out.

    Not dumb. An element of truth even though its not the whole story. Obviously the guy is an unlikeable *****

    basically he has haters and nuthuggers like any other top fighter.

    I think most people are like me in the middle. I won't defend him nor criticize him for 99% of the stuff he does in his personal life. None of my business.

    I think we are the unheard majority.

    I've held respect for you because of that. You are someone that is confident that Pac will beat Mayweather. You don't feel the need to try and bring Mayweather down because your insecure.
