The Floyd Mayweather "lose lose" Theory analyzed

Sad but true many greats are hated for many reasons. Sadly Floyd is a great fighter and very domionant and has no guy to test him and bring out his best. I mean look at Wlad dominant hell of a punch nice guy but he has nobody to KO that he will get any credit for

 

Sad truth.

 

Maybe you can also narrate why people hate on Pacquiao.

I'll give one.

- Pac brutally dominating and knocking out boxers some much bigger than him. He's on PEDs for sure.

 

Every fighter has haters, boo ****ing hoo.

There are a constant flood of like 40 guys who are on this forum daily waiting to ride mayweather's nuts the second they get the chance.

Who is acting like this guy isn't deified by a **** ton of boxing fans?

Some of the kids on this site actually think he is the GOAT.

Cry a goddamned river.

 

In a perfect world we'd all be suckin each others balls. Count me out.

 

Very true, it doesn't matter what he does. You can't please everyone, so if I'm in his situation I'd probably think like he does...please myself and my family. Haters are like roaches and there will always be that next guy who people think you're dodging.

 

all he had to do was not 'retire' and clean out the WW division when it was really strong

it's 'stale' now, which is why people are like meh

 

There is much truth in the OP.

That's one thing. Arguing just to argue is another.

 

LOL

That is ****ing funny.

 

Its true - HOWEVER - Floyd brings it all on himself.

He's a master manipulator of the classic "heel" role from WWE. This moreso than an Ali type take on it as Hatton pointed out during their press run - Floyd does it without the twinlke in the eye that Ali had when he was putting verbal beat downs on other fighters.

But to continue the Ali comparison, there are still many old fight fans I have spoken too who dislike Ali, some who still call him Clay, becuase they hate braggards.

That said - When Ali lost for the first time against Frazier - You will hear this in plenty of Ali docos - Many say that he also "won" because he lost with dignity and honour and came back to prove the world wrong.

Floyd has made a tonne of money and done a great job at taking his, for the most part, safety first style and sold PPV #'s like he was knocking every motherf#$ker out.

The "lose loose" situation happens because of this marketing strategy.

You can't have it all.

Look at Mosley! A nice guy, never quite captured the imagination of the public though and nowhere near Floyd in terms of PPV dollars - And yet even with the steroid controversy and other issues, he still has a pretty deep and faithful fanbase - Just read the threads around here!

I think if Floyd had a Pac or Mosley type persona, his legacy would be rated higher than it is right now, because people respond to humble and root for the good guy.

 

If Floyd didn't carry on like a **** wit, people would think that his personality matches his boxing style... boring.

 

Ha ha - Succinct dubfire!

 

How many? :think

 

Lose Lose is Mayweather NOT KO-ing Marquez.
Nothing to do with fighting a 38 year old who wasn't allowed his normal regiment.
