Why is Floyd Mayweather so hated ?

[ICB]

Continued.



Also i want to bring up one last point which i started in my other thread which i started yesterday, fans never seem to be happy with boxers winning multiple World titles in different weight classes, nor do they seem happy with boxers dominating 1 division. If a boxer dominates 1 division they accuse him of facing weak opposition, if a boxer wins World titles in different weight classes. They accuse them of skipping through the divisions and not dominating that division.

Well aren't you just a big ball of PBF facts....

ANYHOW......

I can understand your point on people never being happy that is just something we have to live with on the other hand pertaining to PBF...

He made sure that when jumping divisions he would target the weakest of champions...EG- Gatti...he could have secured a fight with any of them but he choose the one with the weakest demeanor can not be denied.....and I will not engage in a debate on who else has done such things etc...

I can say that if he was jumping to 140 right now lets say...He would probably pick Holt or Bradley to fight for a world title rather then Hatton...why his chances are better...

If DLH was jumping to 140 he would pick Hatton before anyone else...

Not to say Floyd would not beat them but in his opp why fight tough if I don't need to

Get the idea

I respect PBF and you can not deny his skill...contrary to many I like his fights and find him exciting...as a boxing fanatic I love counter punchers and seeing them use strategy to win....

I do not like his attitude and self praising ass...No matter how good you are there is no need to constantly be your own biggest fan...

Same reason I dislike David Haye

Daxx your first comment im not sure if i should take that as a compliment or not

Actually mate it was meant as neither a complement or insult...You know I respect your opinions on here always and I think you are one of the most knowledgeable posters around....

Was more of a "Well I guess he left little need for rememberence for this topic"......Heck you covered 3/4 of his career

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Because he has a foul mouth. Look at the great fighters of yesteryear. They talked without swearing. They didn't trash talk nowhere near as bad as floyd. Even ali, with his antics, didn't roll around in the gutter as floyd does. At least ali was funny even when he was being mean spirited. Even sonny liston didn't talk like a punk.

I cannot put a finger on it, but Carl Lewis, somethin' in that fella' held me be a believer, even when he was lording it, as the fastest man alive!

Carl Lewis was supposedly one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the earth. Did anyone see him throw that opening pitch where the ball landed 3 feet in front of him?! I wish I could find a vid for that!

[Majesty]

I think a lot of people missed the first post saying "despite his arrogance" why do people hate him.

Haven't seen anything yet other then "his personality" or "he's a dick" or "he's a jerk"

I think that can fall under arrogance. I guess there is no other reason to hate Floyd then if you dont like his cockiness.

But I will say this

Some fighters are cocky and dont train worth anything because they expect their talent to pull them through.

Floyd has the hardest work ethic of any fighter including Hopkins. So he has arrogance, but he works for it.

LOL. I remember an instance where Lewis butchered his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Cracked me up, bigtime. Together with Roseanne's-- up to now, networks serve these, to "would be" renderers that prep is still in order, or face becoming a butt... of jokes. He has got great sense of humor tho-- very likable, but... taking him seriously is another vein.

I somewhat like hated him when he said he's better than Robinson.


He should wait people to tell him that.

So I dislike him for having a loud mouth.

[brucelee]

.... and he fights dirty against Hatton...



..... he's boring against his last opponents....


..... De la hoya beat him in the early rounds...

.... he thinks he's pretty...

[levi#1BoxingFan]

Hmmmmm let me see. This ought to be easy. He's arrogant, He waves his money in front of people's face, he tries to retire at his young age because he doesnt want to risk losing, he cheated against the Big Show at wrestlemania, he acts like the world revolves around him, his dad is just as arrogant as him and also looks like the predator when he has long braids, 90 percent of his fights are boring.........ect......
