i think there is a true issue because he does not have the explosive appeal of for an example Iron Mike Tyson or Prince Naseem. Outside of boxing Floyd remains a relative unknown. Fair enough this is partly due to the decline in popularity of boxing, but also due to his anti social media front and his technical displays. Trash talkers who appeal are the ones that back it up in the ring, not just with the W but with he style that they get the W.

Mayweather says he is going to whoop Hattons ass, but even floyd fans would be reticent to say that they expected him to knock Hatton out, the most expected result is a points win for PBF, like there was in the ODH fight. I am a big Hatton fan and will be rooting for him if they fight. More importantly than that I see guys like Ricky, Calzaghe, and De La Hoya as the true role models that a professional sports man should be. Mayweather is akin to a boxing Craig Bellamy, very talented but will never be adored and respected in the long term because he is such a tosser!
