i have been watching the LA press tour and realized he has gotten more charismatic,
he was actually funny at times like when he asked buffer to announce his name longer, and he didn't have to swear to look cool, it was an improvement from "you're a pussy, and pussies get fucked"
but one thing is still the same, leonard ellerbe(pimp c) is still the biggest ass kisser i have ever seen, he looks like a fuckin pedo:huh

I still don't like him and how he comes across, but I have nothing but respect for his talent.

welll now that all tha BS talk of 24/7 is done I'm starting I'm starting to be a fan of him again
ive always liked him, but i have actually like him LESS lately.... imo he was at his best for the gatti fight. He talked shit... but it was with a gleam in his eye.
but imo hes the same as always for the most part....

"is it me or is mayweather becoming likeable?"
No he is on Prozac therapy so he seems to be calm down a little bit.

I've never really had a problem with so called "arrogant" fighters. It's really just a part of the game, and not a part of the "new" game. It's been around since the beginning of the sport. Look at history and all the "arrogant" greats there were.

I did like his odd quote of
"You're too small. You're a girl. I wish we were locked away together."
Not too likable. Sounded like an old Tyson line about Razor Ruddock.

he's like the perfect villain, who in the end becomes a great comrade. I like him as the villain right now.:yep
His attitude is what's slowly making him a major attraction, as much as many hate it(Not me) it's the truth.

Look at all of these people who want to see him LOSE! People are buying him a few new Ferraris with their hatred.

Indeed. :lol:
Ali attracted a lot with his "Asshole" attitude so did many others too that all bought tickets to see specific fighters get beat. This style sells, PBF knows it and is mastering it.

So what you mean is that PBF is actually a nice guy in real life?

Breaking news.... Floyd is what you see, inside and outside the ring!!!
:lol:
Ok, i'm just specualting to some extent, yet there's ebough evidence to suggest that he is quite the asshole he appears to be. I'll reference his countless interviews and even his family's statements(especially Uncle jeff) about Floyd.
His heads too big for his own good and someone really needs to DEFLATE THAT SHIT!!!!
Once and if that happens?? My prognosis for Floyd becoming likeable greatly increases. As of right now?? He is the spoiled, over privileged, over publicized individual he appears to be:good
Whether he's ever likeable or not?? If he beats the best in the ring?? That will be a respect that NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM HIM!!!!
Just realize the "best" starts with Hatton and doesnt end there:good

I have never heard anyone say Floyd was an asshole. He is very approachable and social with regular folk. From what I hear, he does have ego but he is as regular as they come.

I thinks its not so much liking Floyd but the arguments some of his haters are too stupid sometimes. Supposedly, he's ducked Spadafora, Hatton, Baldomir, Margarito and currently its Mosley and Cotto. I think his haters are more delusional than his fans on the average.

He's lookin more like Howard the Duck these days with those cranium buldges and that rather extensive beak of his.
Apart from that I can't say he's becoming more of anything really. He's always been a confident guy, which is essential in being good.

Fuc being a Floyd fan. Find a post where i actually said I like Floyd! When his nutlickers say he's better Whitaker or he's top 20 ATG i'll always says thats BS but at the same time according to his haters all he does is duck people.

You and I might be regular, but Floyd???
Nahhhhh......brah........Inflatable is more the flavor:good
C'mon man, dudes in every on camera appearance like he just won and "Oscar: and there is no competition.
Too much EGO and even his own family has offered alternatives.
Ultimately, none of that shit matters bro!! He could be Jesus Christ or Charles Manson, only thing I give a shit about is what he is when the bell rings:happy

if he gets past Hatton and takes on the winner of Mosley/Cotto people will really take to him. Then if he beats somebody like Williams or Dzinziruk he'll be the definate P4P in welter and super welter. Then I'd love to see him fight someone like the winner of Trinnidad/Jones or Taylor Pavlik before he retires as either a/the ATG.
I know I'm putting some of your hope in rediculous danger but thats my opinion of what he needs if he really wants to be labled an ATG

I know this dude is joking otherwise this is a perfect example of why i feel inclined to disagree with his haters rather than his nutlickers. IF he beats Hatton he has to ALSO beat Mosley/Cotto then Williams or Dzinzirwhatever (wtf?) and then go fight Taylor/Pavlik at middle and then Trinidad/Jones and that's basically light heavyweight??? Thats his requirement for ATG?? I know youre joking. If youre serious, If Floyd does all this shit he might be GOAT. But i feel his haters would just say Floyd should challenge or Wlad or he's a pussy.

I followed his career a long way watching him. I always admired his skills in the ring. I think he's a real cool and composed character. Lately his character has been questioned, but I think he's just doing it for publicity. What else can he do to sell tickets? Professional fighting is the hurt business, yes, but it still is business, which is money to be made. So I kinda understand where he's coming from. I just thing he's one of the best today and wish he can put his skills to the test more with real challenges, not just hype fights for $. I want to see another U.S. born fighter in the history books as the greatest ever. So, go PBF, be all you can be. Go to 140 and street sweep with your Reyes gloves...

All I can say is that your either very inexperienced or in total denial:-(
Like I said many of you are begging for Floyd to have stayed retired but its only because your under the delusion that he already is the ATG (which I think still means the greatest boxer of all time). The greatest boxers of all time usually took on and often beat much bigger men.
Oh and if I really hated Floyed I would hope that he had stayed retired instead of advising him on to true greatness.

You want Floyd to fight at Middleweight and then Light Heavyweight but im delusional? Why dont you just admit you cant get off until you see the dude knocked out? Do you ask all fighters who started at 130 to go to Lightheavy weight just to be an ATG? Quit trying to act like what you want is even reasonable and admit you just wanna see Floyd lose. Not every fighter has to go up the scale like Henry Armstrong just to be considered great.

While were at it, maybe Floyd should challenge Mormeck or O'Bell at cruiser.
maracho
09-19-2007, 03:03 AM
If you were not in a stooper you would know that Spinks once fought at 130, Ray Leonard fought 138, Duran 138, Ray Robinson fought 130, then go way back and look what guys like Joe gans and Joe Walcott did. Oh and didn't most of the above fight at lighthaevy as well? Heck, even Trinidad started at light welter.
Anyway your harping on this Lightheavy thing like your grabbin straws. their fighting catchweight of 170. I know RJJ and Trinidad would pitch thier upcoming fight for a chance to meet Floyd at 160 and Floyd would just love to have one more weight class on his wall.

By this rationale, Pac needs to go to 140 to fight Hatton, Hatton should go up to 154 and fight Spinks or Ouma, and Juan Marquez needs to quit fcking around and challenge Paul Williams. Mayweather going past 154 is crazy and doing anything past 160 is plain stupid. How tall is he? 5'8? At 170 he'd look like a smaller yet still chubby version of James Toney. Who is your favorite fighter and do you require that much of him to be considered an ATG? By the way, Trinidad did start at WW like you said and that's why he has 95% probablitity of being knocked out at 170 but i guess in your book thats what you gotta do to be considered an ATG.

:lol: see what I mean! Some people see and believe what they want even if it means denying history. None of the guys you mentioned above will go down as the GOAT or ATGs if they dont do something like what I mentioned above. Although, Manny did start out at 107.
Joe Gans is the GOAT in my mind but Floyd could possibly surpass all of them though I doubt he will even come close to trying

Yeah its all for promotion but its even more stupid looking than when Toney acts a fool.
