Floyd is hated or crticized because of his out-of-the-ring attitude. He acts like a cocky individual. Oddly enough, while he's in the ring he's mature beyond his years.

CC#4......IT has nothing to do with people wanting more....I can name many fighters that did not receive the criticism those 2 do when they were on top...Even if they fought lower level comp....

Jones has some good names on his resume and great performances but went a long time avoiding the most dangerous comp.......And when he beat second tier comp he bragged as though they were P4P.....Turns people off....Top level fights were few in between.....He also had any and every reason not to fight those who called him out

Floyd is actually not a bad guy away from the camera...would give the shirt off his back but people do not know that.....He also has avoided names that many wanted him to fight.....

Worst part is his antic are not just obnoxious they are in bad taste.......they often go beyond insulting the fighter but his background as well...
