    The glaring omissions of Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and others hurts Floyd's legacy
    Hhhhhm I wonder if beating them would satisfy boxing fans. I can assure that once he beats them, people will still bitch about why he didn't face X guy or somethinng.
    - he said that HBO is a racist company after he fought on their network how many times and never complained while getting a paycheck?
    I remember he even said that the salary HBO was offering him was a "slave's salary".
    - his moniquer is "money" how much more arrogant can you get?
    A bit silly to call himself "Money" while standing next to ODLH.
    - He never answers interview questions, he just goes on a tangent about his new car or his new watch.
    I think he did answered questions about boxing WHEN HE WAS ACTIVE. But now that he's retired, hate him or not, he has all reasons to be annoyed if people keep asking him if he would face this or that guy and do his act instead of answering boxing questions.

    Fans do that with EVERY fighter although most All-Time Greats have a shorter list of guys they could have fought than Floyd.

    When did Floyd ever take a chance with his career

    Floyd has NEVER unified any weight class he has fought at and he has always left at least one guy in each division who could have challenged him.

    I think he needed to test himself more as well. All the best fighters in history fought the best in their division. Yes we all know he could beat Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Tszyu and those types of fighters but he I would rather see it than just know it.

    I love Floyd the fighter. He's one of my favorites EVER! But Floyd the person regardless if it's a public image or if that's how he really is, is still an immature little prick.

    People always hate those doing better than themselves it's natural especially when floyd (intellegently) brings most of it on himself. Looks to work pretty well cause for a guy hated i see his name here everyweek and him coming back is more anticipated than the what the boxers that are already here are doing. They all hate him yet bring his name up as a benchmark for every time a fighter wants attention...and it goes on and on. Same way everyone loved dogs so much when vic was involved now that he's in jail and forgotton you cant give one of those pits the world cared so much about away, donations are back down to pretty much nothing as well...it was watching a young rich athlete go down that was the big deal not the mutts. I would worry if i were floyd when people stopped hating...that's when he's fallen off the boat. It's funny the connection between his hatred and his increasing bank acct of those mainly who hate him.....bottom line they can't beat him in the ring so this is another route to vent jealousy....

    Im with this,Not doubting his skillset and belts but I just dont think that he's fully maximized his talent,and frankly he does not show an interest in doing so.Hes all about self.For me,I dont think beating a Mosley...at lightweight or even now...is a giving thing.Nor a Cotto,Tszyu etc.Its one thing to prove greatness against the best,but entirely different to assume it.Theres a reason a man in peak form steps aside,I dont know really why.Be it mental,physical,motivation or drive.

    There is no doubting his skill as a fighter he is brilliant but its a shame his mentality to take on the best fighters lets him down.
