Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

This is funny because I was going to start a thread on this very same subject.

I just don't know how anybody can like the guy- I guess I mean I don't understand how anybody can want the guy to win. I can fully understand if someone thinks he's the best boxer out there or even if they like his boxing style, but with his personality, I just don't see how someone can pull for him. I don't even mind a fighter being brash, arrogant, confident, whatever, but Floyd demeans and insults his opponents far too much.

It's strange because he used to be my favorite fighter and is the reason I started watching boxing. I used to only know about Tyson, Holyfield, etc. but then I turned it to HBO late on night and saw Floyd dismantle Diego Corrales. I enjoyed that fight so much, I started watching every fight I could and really started studying the sport and now boxing is my second favorite sport behind college football.

However, after a few years, Floyd started changing. He complained constantly about why he didn't knock out this guy or that guy, started whining about not being a bigger star, and then began his constant insults to every fighter he faced. I don't think I've ever turned on a professional fighter as quickly as I did Floyd about 8 or so years ago. lol

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

I'm a fan of boxing. I like Shane and Floyd both. I like Floyd more because of his defensive style. Many call it running I call it setting traps.

Many people are boxer fans. I'm a boxing fan.

Not true about floyd bad mouthing all his opponents lately..Only some. He didnt talk bad about marquez or judah. He talked bad about oscar and shane(which is his friend outside of boxing).

I highly doubt the rhetoric you get from Floyd is his normal self. Look at Ali and his talking, yet they call him the greatest. Floyd is a showman. He knows what he's doing.

As far as his boxing, I'm a fan. He frustrates people with speed and defense. I can't imagine how challenging it is for an opponent of his to keep his cool and not try to knock him out. It must be very frustrating to fight a guy like Floyd.

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

Yeah its all a show. May 1st after the fight, him and shane will hug each other and floyd will say how good shane is as a boxer. Did the same thing vs diego , and they traded personal shots at each other. Floyd said he was fighting for battered women (diego was accused of hitting his girl) and diego said he was fighting for battered dads (this when floyd and floyd sr was beefing).

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

He comes to every fight prepared, in shape, and works for the entire fight. He is fundamentally sound, and delivers in the ring. From a pure view of his work in the ring, you really can't hate him.

[Po Pimp]

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

I like Floyd...he employs defensive mastery. All that talk he does is just hype to make the fight bigger. But he's my favorite fighter since Roy Jones fell off the map

I agree with this 100 percent. Mayweather has unreal natural talent, and he supports it with an incredible work ethic.

I'm just no fan of his mouth. That's all.

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

If Floyd gets in the ring with his rivals, then yeah I don't have a problem at all


He'll probably never be my #1 fav,but he defiantly would get my praise for whooping the tops behinds

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

because i'm a fan of what he does in the ring and i understand that what he does outside of the ring is a character to sell the fight.

Re: Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

Yes, I am a fan.

I have nothing but respect for what the man can do in the ring. Mayweather Jnr is already amongst the Greatest Of All-Time, I respect the fact he keeps putting his 0 loss record on the line and he faces just about the biggest test of his career in Sugar Shane Mosley (another fighter I have nothing but respect for).

I see the trash talking stuff for what it is, "it's all part of the show" and I love it. I love the Showman in any athelete, it makes great viewing and creates a buzz. Mayweather Jnr knows this and makes a lot of $$$ of it coupled with his in ring prowess.
