I think Floyd's tough guy person is fake and here's why

[Deevel916]

he said over and over that the person you see on HBO 24/7 is not really him...HE IS JUST SELLING FIGHTS! not sure why fans have a hard time understanding that

so yeah the Tough Guy **** is FAKE

Floyd does stuff to keep people talking about him...and well...it works every time because sure enough everything his does it is a Article written about it right after it...even his damn Tweets on Twitter get turned into a damn Article

Love Him Or Hate Him...people seems to can't turn away when he is on, his Haters seems to love keeping up with him more then his fans do lo

Ok, so what you're saying is, the incident with his childrens mother and fight with his father, and shooting at the skate rink is just an act to keep people watching?

[mathed]

Its all for our entertainment.

Everyone has seen the clips of how floyd's post fight interviews got more and more brash. Compare that to the wrestling career of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.

He started off as the sweet Grandson of the legend Rocky Maivia just looking to live up to his legendary name. But he did not become the wrestling Icon that he is until he adapted "the Rock" as his persona. Brash tough talking ****y etc. and whether you loved him (like me) or loved to hate him (like my cousin) when we knew he was going to defend his belt we were glued to the TV

I think this compares favorably to Floyd. He knows that what he says and does outside of the ring is just as important as what he does inside of the ring. And just like in my illustration whether you love him or hate him when he fights you want to see it.

Also look at the number of views and replies just on this forum to any topic that has his name in it.

Any thoughts on this?

It's fake and here's why: Dude is a flamer

[mushahadeen]

nah i disagree.

when i'm working or around family-- that's the fake me. it's advantageous for me to be on my best behavior in those situations.

but in real life i'm a pervert, a deviant, and i would steal from anybody.

Ok, so what you're saying is, the incident with his childrens mother and fight with his father, and shooting at the skate rink is just an act to keep people watching?

No I don't think those Incidents are to keep people from watch...what ever happened between him, his children and baby mother, that is HIS BUSINESS, as for the Skate Rink Shooting...has he been charged for any thing during that Incident?

I am talking about the stuff we see on HBO 24/7, when the Camera is Rolling! What ever he does after that...I personally don't give a **** about his personal life.

But lets not pretend like people are not trying to get paid, I am sure he deals with **** talkers in public and people who try and test him and hoping he would do something to them so they can get paid

just seen a Video with a "FAN" trying to PROVOKE Terrell Owens:



^these are the Things some people do, hoping they can land a Lawsuit and win a settlement

[IIG]

When has Floyd ever done anything that would make it seem like he's trying to be a toughguy?

[Pullcounter]

everything about wifebeater is fake except the fact that he beat his ex in front of their children and threaten his children if they called the popo. also the fact that he and fiddy are butt pirates.

that marriage is fake as ****.

the reconciliation with wifebeater SR was fake.

the crusade for OSt is fake.

[MeiXiang]

Floyd doesn't act the tough guy at all. He's arrogant but he has never tried to act tough. Floyd makes boxing what it is currently, you can't really deny it and we need that in the sport of boxing.

[RapidFire_Royce]

Maybe i did use the wrong word arrogant ****y, etc fit what i was meaning to say better.

As far as his court cases like a couple of people have said those are real and if he is guilty then those are problems that he will have to deal with.

I mean the way he acts anytime there is a camera in front of his face. It all seems made up. But can you argue with the results? no matter what anyone says about him the guy puts asses in seats without a crowd pleasing style and has made an ungodly amount of money without taking any undue punishment. He He still leaves some things to be desired as far as what he does in the ring. But as far as marketing himself there isn't a promoter on this earth who could have done a better job.

[Shogunofharlem1]

Personally I think the "Money" personality is a exaggeration on his real personality. I think he exaggerates a little for the cameras but I dont think its that far away from who he really is.

[Medved]

He doesn't come off as a tough guys, he comes off as arrogant. Floyd tbh, really cares about what people think about him though. He cares about legacy too, that's why he often gets offended about people questions his resume. Floyd is arrogant, that's not for show but being arrogant isn't a bad thing especially after what he has accomplished.

Yea because fighting once every 2 years means you care about your legacy. Do you know how many Boxers would be undefeated if they fought 30 bums in a few years then fought once every 2 years? ALOT.

Are you really impressed with Floyd that he goes on vacation for 2 years, cherry-picks 1 opponent and goes back on vacation?

Why doesnt he try cleaning out a division? Unifying it? or is that too much trouble.

Dude doesnt care about his legacy or boxing. He just wants to make the most amounts of cash while doing the least work. The only reason he even fought Ortiz was because he is broke. Thats the ONLY reason he even fights, not because of his legacy but because he needs the money.

If he was really that good he would fight 2 times a year against everyone in the division. But you cant lose if you dont fight right?

Thats why Manny is more respected than Floyd, he has fought everyone who wants to fight him, and has given Rematches to JMM who gave him his toughest fight and took on Cotto.
