I'm not sure if I'd call it begging but more like a sense of entitlement. He has this arrogance about him like he's had everything he wanted his whole life since he was born. I dont know where he lived prior to turning pro or how wealthy his family is but if I had to guess I'd say he was a spoiled brat. Like Ward he thinks boxing owes him something just for showing up and gracing it with his presence. There are also some parallels to Audley Harrison. As @
p4pking touches on, incredible talent but a barren wasteland for a boxing brain and is easily drawn into a fight where he discards his tool box. He gets beat by guys like Garcia who couldn't carry his jock strap because of it. Anytime he fights people that attempt to box with him and counter he looks special like with Alexander. Thats why I and others think he will have success against Floyd. Floyd is not going to walk him down, try to land a bomb or crowd him. I suppose its the ultimate example of styles making fights.
He should have known that when he won the fan poll by a long shot as a Floyd opponent and Floyd still fought Maidana that he chances were slim to none with slim leaving the party.
