I Wonder.!

Why is it Mayweather is the dogs bollocks to some American fight fans, and the like's of Rigo
are hated because Floyd, is very defensively minded a very un American style of hit and not be hit.
I am not having a pop chaps, but it is hypocritical were the likes of Rigo are master boxers as well
but are given shit, for being defensive,!!!! Lara comes to mind as well, he makes Canelo miss and
hit arms.
True boxing weather you like it or not is the art of hitting without being hit, but for a Guy like
Floyd to be welded to the ropes, silky smooth skills wonderful but the others never a good
word spoken.:confused:

Some people will argue Floyd does not get the respect he deserves but he is getting paid an awful lot.

Some people may say he has earned the right to be paid what he gets.

Maybe Rigo and Lara have to do the same.

The thing is considering US fight fan's love toe to toe stuff, Floyd does more PPV's than any
rock and sock them types strange is it not.!!!

I don't think Floyds style has much to do with the numbers he does any more, it's more the way he has managed to market himself, the whole hip hop image, undefeated angle is what actually started to take off. He was more dominant many years ago at the lighter weights, and didn't have anywhere near the pull.

Not to mention Rigo isn't American and doesn't even speak English as far as I know? But I agree it's a real shame he seems to get no appreciation at all, the guy is a tremendous talent and could even be the best boxer in the world right now.

Floyd's boxing skills are greatly appreciated by we US fans. I usually get his ppvs hoping to see him lose but more so to see his, what I dare say, perfection in the ring. What we don't like is his arrogance although we know part of it is an act. Floyd has done an excellent job building notoriety to go along with his greatness which only increases his sales.

I think it's a shame what has happened with Rigo but you really have to be a true fan to enjoy his performance. Casual fans can't get into his style.

Harden fans appreciate skills yes I think you are right in one, I really enjoy watching Rigo he
is a master boxer, pure skills and he can punch a bit.
Floyd with his back on the ropes brilliant, remember watching Wilfredo Benitz a master
boxer as well, extremely hard to hit very underrated fighter.

from what I read, Floyd seems to be a real wanker and I hope he loses his next fight


don't believe all you read they say, perhaps i'm being naïve, I kind of don't think so


I dont care if he has the skills, he doesn't seem to deserve the money he gets to me
