This has nothing to do with promotion, this is who Floyd is. Marketing genious? He's been an arrogant a** for a long time, so why has that marketing genious never turned into such mega success before? He has craved an event like this for years, but for some reason was never able to acheive it until a fight with the real marketing genious, De La Hoya.

When he compares himself to Ali I have to laugh. At times Ali's mocking and ridicule could be harsh, but there was almost always something theatrical to it. Something that would make you chuckle when you saw it, even if you didn't want to. Also, even when he seemed at his worse, you could see Ali's character and purpose in what he was doing.

He stood up agaisnt the war, against racism, as an advocate for his faith, and often paid a heavy price for it. While he wasn't always honorable, to this day I hate much of went on between him and Frazier and think he treated that man very unfairly, you knew what he was fighting for and why. You have to respect that.

How does this compare with Floyd? Except for the loud mouth part, not in any singe way. The more Floyd talks the more he comes across as a nasty, pathetic, insecure little man.
Fucking good post !!!

Everything that i was gonna say about Floyd Mayweather has already been said !!

His Dad and his uncle are 2 of the nastiest brain damaged shitheads ever to grace the noble art !!

It's down to upbringing , Roger Mayweather has always been an idiot remember him trying to start a fight with Sweet Pea in the dressing room or given it the big'un before Chavez smashed that Beautiful right hand into his moosh and sent him home with his tail between his legs !!


Floyd is just conditioned in that way of no respect !!!

The way he treated that sparring partner was just despicable , getting his son to go over and tell him he is going to get whupped , that was one of the vilest things i have ever seen !

Imagine Floyd without his talent ! He is so insecure and responds with hostility at the slightest hint of criticism because he doesn't have the intelligence to respond with anything else !

He'd probably be at home sniffing Mummys knickers if his complete cretin of a father hadn't slipped on his gloves !!

Floyd Mayweather snr a great trainer ? The man can barely manage 2 coherent words , I'd gladly shit on his face given the chance !
