Secondly,from a fan's perspective,yes,it is the fights.I don't want to get into a big debate about it here but the fact is,who has he fought in the last 3-4 years that we would think would be a tough fight? I want to see him in with dangermen,with threats,to establish how good he truly is.
Finally,it is also his personality,or sorry,how he comes across.He speaks about it making $$$,making sense,the thruth etc etc and then fights Mitchell etc etc,turns down $8mill etc etc. He doesn't have the charisma or the charm of an Oscar in my opinion.
Very well put, I think one of the biggest things Oscar did that Floyd does not is he always promoted boxing as a whole
whereas all I've heard floyd take about makes me think he's reciting lyrics from a hip hop song.
