Why is Floyd Mayweather so hated ?

[C-Lo]

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 a cheater

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!

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.

It is not the arrogance... Kel wrote fake, and to some degree I can agree to that. Its more of PBF being untrue to any of the "character" that he floats and portrays, out in the public.

I don't hate him tho, never can be a hater. Whenever you find yourself hating, just cash in more of your tolerance cards. The play is to just equip oneself, and be more tolerant than the "haters".

Makes for a better "self".
