Wow, Six pages! and pretty much unanimous hatred for Floyd! I mean Floyd is a fighter I like but by no means a favorite of mine! My personal favorites are Paul Williams, David Haye and Shane Moseley.

I posted this article because I read it as a unbiased rational 26 year old man; and I must say one thing that is clear, the majority of people including professionals (Max Kellermen, Larry Merchant mostly American press) allow the somewhat unfounded hatred they harbor for Floyd Mayweather to affect their judgments.

I mean a claim I see flying around a lot is Floyd ducked Cotto, However Cotto to my knowledge unlike Margarito, never made any attempt to make a fight with Mayweather, Floyd mentioned Cotto's name as a potential opponent when they were both at 140 and that was the only mention from either fighter! at other times people have asked Cotto about fighting Mayweather and the answer has always been I'll fight whoever they put in front of me.

The other unfounded claim is Mayweather avoiding Shane despite the fact that it's common knowledge that Floyd called Shane out multiple times, any fan who searches on youtube will also be able to find a video clip of Shane saying he thinks Mayweather should fight Margarito instead, and then that he had a toothache and then was going on family holiday! imagine if Floyd used these excuses?

I think that Floyd's large mouth and repeated stupid comments have alienated him to the point that he is now actually correct in feeling discriminated against.
