Nothing wrong with anyone that criticizes boxers or expressing dislike. It makes for good debates if you base it on facts. It is the people that throw bogus things out there like Floyd never fights anyone good that negates all of it. We all know he hand-picks his opponents, but historically they have been all boxers that were at or near the top of their game at the time he fought them. I can only think of one time he fought a guy coming off a loss. Floyd has also given up weight to several (nearly 20 lbs 3 or 4 times fight night) that should be praised instead of criticized. I hope he hand picks Pacquiao next.[/quote]
My criticism is based on facts; he does handpick his opponents & I don't like that.
I don't like it when any fighter does that & would say the same about them.
Also, I have never said that he doesn't fight any good opponents either, so any such retorts shouldn't be aimed at me.
Floyd is great fighter; arguably the best of the last 20 years & I certainly don't hate him, but I am not going wash his underpants for him: if he does something I don't like, I'm going to say something about it.
