    Its a combination of being an egomaniac,self deluded,no humility,unspiritual,nouveau riche,woman beater,lacking in social skills,shallow and also a complete lack of any humour.Aswel as the fact he disrespects wayyy to many people.This is the image he gives out when I have seen him on TV he could well be a good guy behind closed doors but I just the feeling he doesn't live with his feet on the ground.

    For me, it's a combination of things:

    1) Narcissistic and totally obsessed with money. Everything about him screams greed, and he constantly makes grotesque displays of wealth. (Counting hundreds on countertops, showering bills down at LV clubs, etc.) Lack of class.

    2) Domestic abuser. Lack of class.

    3) Openly and continually disrespectful of non-opponents and even ATGs. Lack of class.

    4) Insincere. How about the waterworks he turned on after beating a helpless opponent -- and huge underdog -- in Gatti. OK, Floyd, we get it. Lack of class.

    I respect Floyd immensely as a fighter, but I could never be a real fan of his. Roy Jones was plenty cocky and there were things I didn't like about him, but he didn't cross the line as much as Floyd.

    Jones was flashy without constantly rubbing everyone's nose in his dollars. He has no record of male/female violence or any serious criminal activity to my knowledge. Always seemed genuine, so even when he was acting like a jerk, at least I felt he wasn't hiding who he really was. He occasionally took time out to compliment another fighter (not someone he'd fight) and seemed to revere Ray Leonard, and in addition he helped Gerald McClellan financially and even talked about him some.

    He was a dick before that. Geesh even Judah was portrayed as the 'hero' in their match up. Just shows how much of a dick he is.

    The keyword there is misdemeanor if you have read other stories on this issue you would know that Floyd Threw his baby mama out of his house after she threw a temper tantrum and started breaking furniture , she also admitted to lying that floyd had hit her because he had left her for another woman ..

    misdemeanor assault can be classified as touching , spitting or grabbing .
    and rarely if bad enough for prison time.

    Felony assault or battery is what the Late chico was found guilty of and almost always require jail time or prison time .

    No he should have let her break everything in the house, stab him and then burn down the house.

    All he did was throw a crazy ***** out of his house, and if thats worth jail time, 85% of the men on the planet would be in a 6x6 cell.

    No it mean don't try to make it something it is not ..

    In this day and age looking or brushing against someone to hard can be considered misdemeanor assault

    And you think Mike Tyson (before he went crazy) was classless?

    Watching 24/7 i learned id rather hang out with 50 Cent (i hate his music, i more of an old school/underground rap) than PBF..:yep

    I just think the guy's a regular douche nozzle, I get acting that way before a fight to hype it up, but the dude is just a dick all around.

    Last time I checked, he does not owe you anything. If he feels like retiring or only facing DLH, it's his CHOICE. It has nothing to do with class.

    Wanna talk about classless? Judah is classless. Tyson is classless. Cotto was classless in that fight with Judah, dependign on whether or not yo ubelieve it was intentional. Margarito was classless at the pbf press conf. How many times have you seen Mayweather disrespect an opponent INSIDE THE RING or physically assault him outside the ring?Dude is just selling the fight outside the ring, it's jsut words. When he's between the ropes, he shows no disrespect, he doesn't even showboat, he coulda made a number on Gatti and did not, he just fought. That's respect.

    I suppose PBF is just the victim of frequent misunderstandings then?
