    Isit just me or is FLoyd coming across UTTERLY CLASSLESS and cheap in the mosely-may 24/7 eps??

    We all know about his trash talking but hes just soo lame now. He cant seem to put two sentences together without using the world ''****''.

    I happen to dislike Mosely quite a biT! Having watched the first two 24/7 ep's though.... id love to see floyd flat on his back! (which wont happen)

    I'm leaning the same way. I like floyd but on 24/7 he is getting rather obnoxious. If he happens to lose (which I highly doubt) i cant wait to see how he acts on the next 24/7 after a defeat and going into the rematch.

    exactly. Floyd can be HIlarious and i love the way he just gets into the opponents head in the build up to big fights.

    But in this 24/7 it seems hes sunk too low. i mean at the end of the day your supposed to be a role model wether you like it or not. It comes with the territory of being a multi-million dollar sportsman

    To be honest, I think we have seen all we can of Mayweather in 24/7...I think the majority of what we see in this 24/7 is that of Floyd trying to build hype for the bout. Although it is great to see it from Mosley's side, he seems to have a genuinely nice family.

    In all honesty, if you don't like the guy that's fine. But that bull**** about being a role model is lame.

    I would act anyway I wanted to. These guys are not role models. If kids are looking at athletes to be moral guides, their parents aren't doing their job.

    Dude, kids absorb everything around them. If they see Floyd, want to be Floyd, they are gonna act like Floyd.

    The only way parents can stop their kids watching these athletes is by not letting them watch TV, at ALL!
    its all around them, everywhere. And if they act like IDIOTS what message does that send?

    of course floyd can act howeva the hell he wants its his life, but at the end of the day im dissapointed hes acting like a fool on 24/7, more so than usual!

    And? If they're copying bad habits of his, it's up to the parents to cut that **** out. The show comes on late night on a Saturday on HBO. Parents should be monitoring what their kids are watching. Are we going to admonish stand up comics for cursing during perfomances that come on late night on cable channels? That's stupid. 24/7 is pure entertainment. It doesn't need to be watered down to cater to a PG audience. Kids should be watching Nick at Nite if their parents don't want them to hear some cursing.

    24/7 comes on late night on cable. It's catered towards a mature audience. If parents are letting their kids watch HBO on a Saturday night without monitoring it, that's their fault.

    Mosley already solved this particular issue:

    "I think sometimes when people start doing a lot of barking, it shows that they may be a little bit intimidated, a little bit afraid."

    Floyd is nearly always insulting and such to opponents, but in this match he almost seems hysterical at points, as if he's trying just a bit too hard. Even though he's the favourite for this fight, and rightfully so, he recognises how dangerous Shane is, and how he's a live underdog.

    He's just showing his insecurities. He acts like a 12 year old.
