guy in the video got it wrong, to a degree. Take out all the huggers/haters, because they are irrelevant in this discussion. Guys like yourself and Denilson will support Floyd no matter what, and others will hate him no matter what. For the true boxing fans, however, there was/is no outrage in Floyd fighting Berto, even though Andre hasn't earned the fight. The issue true fans have is that this garbage fight will cost $60 or more and Floyd/his supporters are somehow offended that people don't want to waste their money on it. When Manny fought Rios/Algieri it was the same thing, a gross rip off of the public. This is a shit fight and fine for CBS, but insulting for PPV.

Not going to watch it but will continue to talk about it. Floyd is a public figure (would he have it any other way) so his behavior and business dealings are fair game. Just because some of us don't agree with or give Floyd a free pass on everything he does, does not make us Floyd haters. It's called exercising good or common sense.Quote:

Thought about making a poll, then thought... nawww.... it's too much trouble.
So I'll just put it out on this post.
It appears to me, seeing as to how Floyd is such a polarizing figure in boxing, that we all fall into one of several categories regarding Floyd:
Floyd lover - Says Floyd is ATG, TBE, should be POTUS... and probably has sexual fantasies about Floyd including golden rain and lots of sweat. Criticism of Floyd makes him cry and pout and curse incessantly.
Floyd fan - Says Floyd is ATG, but concedes he might or might not be TBE. However, will defend Floyd fiercely and takes most criticism of Floyd personally. Can be objective 20% of the time.
Boxing fan who likes Floyd - Admires Floyd as a boxer, and can see his greatness... but may not like Floyd outside the ring. May also lend an ear to some arguments about how Floyd's style is not popular among most boxing fans, and how Floyd may have avoided an opponent or two. Criticism of Floyd doesn't affect him.
Boxing fan who dislikes Floyd - Grudgingly admits to Floyd's skills, but pretty much criticizes Floyd's style, and wishes Pacquiao would've knocked Floyd on his ass. For the most part wishes that Floyd will lose his "0" some time before he retires.
Floyd "disliker" - Sorry for the made up word, but I needed six options to make the categories symmetric. Anyway, the "disliker" is pretty vocal about his dislike for Floyd. Doesn't like his style... says Floyd ducked many fighters... gets into heated arguments and discussions with Floyd fans and lovers... and generally doesn't rate Floyd too highly among alltime boxers.
Floyd hater - Totally hates Floyd... doesn't rate him at all... says there's been dozens of boxers at least that are/were better than Floyd. He also hates Floyd lovers and fans. Blames Floyd for the demise of boxing. Says Pacquiao would've beaten him if his shoulder wouldn't have given out. Brings up all kinds of irrelevant sh*t to discredit Floyd.
Anyway.... since I made up the list, I'll put myself squarely between categories C and D... in other words.... totally unbiased and neutral.
;D
As for all you others, I know of at least one Category A, whose name I'll not mention here.
:cool:
(But his initials are RR)
I'm a Floyd fan but I don't take insults against him personally. I just give the man his due.
I'm not going to defend him outside the ring for the women beating, degenerate gambling, "thug" mentality, ultra materialism, and overall douche baggery. And I'm not going to defend him fighting Berto, which is a shit fight than nobody should care about. If I could make a list of 15 current sports stars I'd want to meet and hang out with, he wouldn't make the list. And I'm not going to talk about him like he's an exciting fighter. His M.O. is to win and take as little damage as possible, and that's not necessarily fan friendly.
But I do think the haters on this forum go to much crazier lengths than the Floyd lovers. There are people here who will tell you Floyd isn't an all-time great. I think most people have a hard time looking at Floyd objectively. Every day there are ridiculous arguments made as to why he sucks, people make stuff up and rewrite history, and people also apply a lot of moronic double standards to Floyd.
If someone is saying something that's incorrect about Floyd, I'm going to call them on it just like if they said something incorrect about any other fighter.
I'm surprised this hasn't more appreciation. Spot on ;)Quote:
