I get what your saying about the 24/7 thing. It's one thing to watch a fight when you like a fighter and hope that they win. It's much more exciting though watching a fight and hoping someone you don't like get's knocked the f'k out.
As the saying goes "it takes all sorts",,, and boxing wouldn't be what it is without all these "characters". So you have to appreciate that they're there.
Still, when it comes down to the subject, it's kind of simple to me, I just don't like people who are ignorant, arrogant & disrespectful... Whether they are a boxer or not.
Although,,,, a fighter could be arrogant as all hell,, but if you see that they have heart in the ring, for some reason that just makes them very likable.
Floyd on the other hand,, (LOL I just realised floyd finds his way into any discussion about arrogance) is absolutely AMAZING at not getting hit. I think if anyone was able to really pressure him and stop him running around the ring, he'd fold like a cheap suit.
We havn't really seen him have any heart in the ring, and yes, that's because he's that good and no one can touch him, but it still means we've had no chance to see if he even has a heart.. Maybe if he has a few return fights and really comes under some pressure and see that he really has something deep down that not many people do, I could really grow some appreciation for him, and maybe even *gasp* like him... But until that day comes, he's still only half the man of boxers that aren't even half as talented as him.
Anyway, in my conclusion --- No heart, arrogant, disrespectful, ignorant,,, what is left to like?? In AnYonENot just boxers...
