I respect Floyd's skills, but I have no idea how or why he is able to garner so much attention. The man is a fraud making mugs of people year in year out. He chose Victor Ortiz as an opponent despite there being no demand for such a matchup. He fought Andre Berto despite there being no demand for such a matchup. He fought Guerrero despite there being no demand for such a matchup. He even fought Maidana despite there being no demand for such a match up (almost came unstuck). So, he has been picking and choosing fight in fight out. Let's not even get started on opponents like Baldomir or Mitchell or how he wouldn't even make the weight against a tiny Marquez.

If Mayweather came to fight and was interesting to watch you might somehow get it, but he is incredibly boring and does the bare minimum in every fight against opponents you knew he was going to beat anyway. How on earth is he popular? Do ordinary fans enjoy watching him fight? The opponents are handpicked and he makes you fall asleep every time. At least Pac gives something back by having a fight that anyone can watch, but Floyd wants the money, he wants to pick the opponent, and he wants to bore you. He's taking the mickey and I just cannot fathom how that is popular.

Then he comes along and picks a fight with a novice and the media is all over it, the forums are all over it and again I am scratching my head. There are much better fights than this, there are fights that actually have meaning and will very well entertain. Don't be suckered into this con mans games. He's laughing at you all.

Thoughts?
