Are You A Fan Of Floyd Mayweather?

JerseySuave4 · 04-30-2010, 11:22 AM

Yes he's my favorite boxer

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

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.

Im a big floyd fan. My fav boxer now that Winky Wright is pretty much done.

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.

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).
