I don't think i've ever seen a bigger case of jealousy than on this board...

[MELLY-MEL...]

He has his fair share of haters for sure, but mostly it seems to me many are ultra frustrated with his decision to avoid all the elite guys at 47, and fight haton, odlh 2 times each. i also think most couldn't care less what he did if he did not claim to be the best welter, p4p, he would destroy cotto, etc.....

When Jordan played for the BUlls I always rooted against them. I root against Federer. It's no fun if everyone takes the side of the frontrunner. Why complain that some go for the upset?

There's no jealousy in that

On the one hand I respect that he wants to show he's in charge of what he does with his career. On the other hand we're the losers.


But I think he's just going to play hard to get with Cotto

yeah K, i agree with that. it is like a double edged sword at times with him. what most pisses ME off is the fact that he is wasting his prime, and robbing boxing of some great fights at 47. i mean, he gotta have plenty of cash now. fight the big fights, kick ass, become a legend, and get the hell out. oh, well it is what it is, and we will see what happens.

its kinda ****** to claim jealousy any time someone criticizes floyd. like ive already mentioned, theres plenty of people to be jealous of and floyd isnt one of them. take the dude who bones salma hayek for example.

I wouldn't call it jealousy. Maybe an odd infatuation for SOME. Like the ones who make countless threads and post in EVERY Floyd thread just to bash him. Why the hell would some people post SO MUCH about a fighter they don't even like? That seems odd to me, that's why I call them Floydboys they really are infatuated with him more then they think. I would rather have both sides of the coin, that's why I hope to get some Gamboa haters soon.

the amount of time people dedicate to hating floyd is amazing

Who the hell is "hatin' on Floyd"? the majority of people who dislike Floyd are people who are fed up with his lame ass publicity stunts and unwillingness to fight the best Welterweight out there in Miguel Cotto and the other top 5 Welters for that matter. I could care less that he's "philty" rich and how he loves to flash his money to hide his insecurities. All the people who are hung into Floyd's nuts are people who have that same kind of mentality that he has, wishing to be "flashy" and throw money away like he does, keep idolizing a false good.

All I want from Mayweather is to really back up all the **** that he talks about being the best of the best and P4P King and fight that best fighters out there to really prove he is indeed what claims to be. Otherwise if he's going to continue to make a mockery out of the sport and keep fighting washed-out fighters like DeLaHoya or smaller guys like Hatton in rematches then might as well just retire and pursue another career.
