And he'd gladly accept it.

I hate people who tell other people how to act. Plus you aren't the best fighter on Earth.
Who cares how good I am as a fighter. His daddy put him in the gym from the time he wore diapers and he came out a damn fine fighter with an extremely weak personality. Roy Jones suffered the same upbringing, but at least he tried to ko people when he said he was going to.
I wonder how much money Floyd really has... He was making less than 8 million before he fought Oscar. There is no way he is as rich as he poses to be.
Wow, he hasn't KOed someone in 3 fights, thats the crime of the century. He was trying to KO Judah till the low-blow mob scene in the ring. He wasn't able to KO DLH, guess what? Nobody but Bernard Hopkins has been able to, and Baldomir is a tough mother fucker. You call his personality weak, how often do you hang out with Floyd? Oh thats right never. Do you say anything with credence?
It's not that he hasnt ko'd anybody. It's that I know he has the ability. He knows he has the ability. He says he is going to. Then he lays back and throws 30-40 punches a round content with the decision. If he wasn't like "you can wave the white flag or go out on your back" before every fight, it wouldnt be such a big deal, but the fact that he promotes fights one way and then gives us a glorified sparring session is what burns me.
His personality is obviously weak. DO you think people with strong personalities have to rely on the villain role? Do you think people with strong personalities have to walk around with 500,000 dollar rings (price tag hanging) and 15 gs of money to "make it rain"? Come on man. Sugar Ray Leonard had a strong personality. He didnt have to throw money at cameras to distract people away from the fact that he had no personality. That's why he got endorsement deal after endorsement deal and was a household name. Floyd has all the skill in the world and the million dollar dollar smile. The only reason that he's not as big as Sugar Ray was in because of his personality flaws.
An old business practice. People would rather pay to see a villain get beaten up, than to see someone they like fight someone they don't have any preference or bias against. Its not about personality, and its not obviously weak. He's obviously an intelligent business man, because he knows people want to pay to see some loudmouth get shut up, and thats a bigger draw than just paying to see someone they like. By creating this villain persona straight out of professional wrestling, he's guaranteed himself strong market value and drawing ability. You know why people paid to see Wresltlemania? To see Roddy Piper get beat up. You know why people pay for Mayweather fights? To see him get beat up, and until he does people will keep on paying and hoping the next guy is the one to do it.
I'd give all my money to speak a minute with him..
I'd do the same, I'd absolutely love to hear Floyd tell me how he's the greatest fighter ever in person, it would be soooo much better than just hearing it on TV all the time.
My boy Diego can attest to this. When he met Floyd in person and said to Floyd "yeah I'm trying to make it in the Fight Game, too."
Floyd's immediate response:
"Oh I do that in my sleep."

He can't go for KOs because of his hands. Since his fighting style because of his hands is not fan friendly he matches that with a not fan friendly act to sell better. The fighters that are loved are exciting in the ring in terms of brawling and knockouts. Ali did the whole trash talk better than everyone shit too, but no one now talks about that being a problem.
