He's unbeatable so he's got the right to be cocky. Tons of athletes do this.

That's what bugs me. People hate on Floyd because of how great he is defensively. It reminds me of when the SEC dominated college football with defense and because it was "boring" everyone wanted to hate on it even though it won championships.

Ugh Henderson just made such a good post that my reply sucks now

I appreciate his boxing skills, I can see how the casual fan would hate him for the way he fights though.


People like knockouts.

This is kind of a catch 22.

He's unbeatable because he takes advantage of the written rules. He's not a fighter. He's a technician. He's great at what he does.

Nobody enjoys watching someone back up and dodge punches the entire fight. That's not fighting.

Evander Holyfield just said on ESPN that he thought Many won or at least should have been a draw

No one gives a frick about boxing anymore. He hasn't faced a real talent his entire career and the only one he did was 5 year too late.

Make this the premier sport like it was back in the day and Mayweather is a nobody.

It has everything to do with people's perceptions of him tonight. It's human nature to be biased against people you find deplorable.

Evander Holifield didn't think so.

Neither did anyone else watching.
