Has already been posted. Floyd points to his own upbringing as a excuse for his behavior. Of course, he knows as well as everyone else that that is BS.
Floyd is a smart guy and must realize he can change if he wants to. He is so controlled/disciplined in the ring, always keeping a cap on his emotions, you know he could do the same outside the ring. I've only seen his emotions get the better of him a couple of times in the ring.
I think Floyd has money, love, and responsibility twisted together in some strange way that allows him to think, in his mind, that he can do anything he wants as long as he keeps the money rolling in.
Two hundred years ago Floyd would have fit right in and it makes me think he would have been the worst kind of slave owner. Think about the way he treats people, you'll see why I say something like that. Money still works the way it did back then, if you spread enough around you can get away with almost anything.
Floyd is a great, terrific, outstanding, p4p fighter, maybe one that's close to the top of the all time great list, but outside the ring he gets barely passing marks, in my opinion.
He's really not that unusual in boxing, but that doesn't make it OK or that we should accept it without talking about it.
