Everyone seems to hate on Floyd Mayweather

[Puya]

As brilliant as he has been he didn't test himself enough to talk the way he does and to say that he's the greatest of all-time.

Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Oscar De la Hoya, Shane Mosley, Tito Trinidad, etc etc all tested themselves as much as they could when they were fighting.

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.

The glaring omissions of Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and others hurts Floyd's legacy

if your going to co-sign that post, surely you'll be a 3rd party guarantor for mine

Let me remind you Floyd called out Mosley 2x and Shane didnt want to know anything, and while Floyd carved up Gatti in front of Hatton and Cotto, there was not even a peep coming from the 2 of them...

[OumaFan]

I don't agree with the idea that look what happened to Cotto and Margarito in their last fights, Floyd was right not to fight them. Who's he gonna fight? I'd stil love to see Floyd-Cotto.

Anyway I don't really care, I'm a bit in the middle, I've enjoyed some of his fights but I'm not a big fan. As for any big name fighter there's a lot of reasons to dislike (or like) Floyd, his style of boxing, his act, his fans, etc.

[JT Rock]

let me put Floyd fans into perspective...

Mayweather fans are apologists and defenders, were as Cotto/Hatton/Pac fans are blatant self promoters.

You judge for yourself about Floyd.. everyone else talks about him and we defend were as the others all talk about their guy and Floyd... You guys bring more attention to him than we do

[imp]

MAJESTY is correct.

Just rememeber what weight this guy started in the game.
Its like roy jones moving up to heavy weight and the other heavyweights are williams and cotto but there natural heavyweights.

Floyd moved up in weight and beat guys that are naturally bigger than him.

[No Contest]

Alright why is no one talking crap about Mosley not fighting Clottey and Margarito not rematching Clottey?

How about Berto not fighting Clottey or Margarito?- Majesty

Mosely would fight Clottey, I am sure of it. Margarito probably knows he was lucky that Clottey broke his hand in the first fight. Berto isn't ducking people he's up an coming, a little diffrent than floyd who was clearly in his prime when he "retired"....blah blah ducker!
