The problem with Paulie is that he's known more for his mouth than boxing ability in the ring, which I think in a way people are going WTF? Now everyone says Floyd is a loudmouth, but the thing is Floyd has great skills to back them up. Even the people out there that might not like Floyd's personality, they respect his great skills.

Mouth+skills=respect by most. This is a Floyd.
Mouth+limited skills=not much respect. This is Paulie.
