Floyd is most definitely an extremely extremely stupid person. This is well documented. He has a long long history of angry and racist outbursts, where he says incredible stupid things, and doesn't understand there might be a backlash. If someone doesn't think Floyd is stupid they haven't been paying attention at all. He also after a fight in the ring admitted to injecting both his fists with xylocaine, a steroid painkiller, on live TV on HBO, but then at the press conference afterwards, not 20 mins later, claimed he never said that. Stupid. Just a few small examples.
Lets not forget that Floyd also got conned out of 15 million dollars by some scam artist named 3 Coma Joe, who promised him a get rich scheme in which he would turn 15 million into 5 billion. And why did he come back when he did, after his first retirement, when he ran off to avoid difficult opponents? Because he had an unpaid IRS tax bill of $6million and was facing prison. Floyd isn't exactly the sharpest tool around.
Also, think it's ridiculous to say Floyd is the most technically sound boxer. That's patently not true. Floyd can't fight on the inside. He clinches and uses his elbows when people come on the inside. Both are illegal, even clinching, hugging, or wrestling as per the rules. Once boxers started influencing and choosing the refs, at some point excessive clinching became a much more accepted part of boxing, that is often afforded to the hometown fighter.
Yeah, Floyd doesn't really have knock out power, because his hands have been completely gone for almost 15 years. That's why he only fights in Las Vegas its the only place where the steroid painkiller xylocaine is legal in sport, and because the Nevada Boxing Commission allows Floyd to do whatever he wants including cheating and using performance enhancing drugs.
The whole sequence of events that led to Floyd sucker punching Ortiz, who wanted out of the fight and probably could've gotten up - is a famous quiter - was because Ortiz was angry and frustrated Floyd was using his elbows to beat him up whenever he came in close, he complains about this to the ref during the fight and pleads for Floyd to be docked points. This is one of Floyds greatest tricks, his use of elbows to keep people from the inside is well known, and is completely illegal obviously.
Someone who doesn't have the skills to fight on the inside and only uses illegal techniques to survive on in the inside is not the most technically sound boxer ever, lol. And Victor Ortiz is not that good. Not a has been, a never was. Floyd's career is far too selective, which is why so many boxing fans don't think much at all of his undefeated career. If Floyd wasn't such a pussy that he had to retire twice to avoid opponents he would've had multiple losses.
Floyd is a woman beater, who rarely fights any interesting opponents. A useless and uninteresting man. His craft is boring and depends on cheating techniques and soft opponents. And no, hardcore boxing fans don't really tune in to watch Floyd. That is an utter myth. Floyd's big numbers all come from fighting big name opponents, usually faded old big name opponents. His numbers come from the opponent, and from a decent African America base, as proved by his last fight when he got very very low numbers, relative to his normal numbers. Floyd never really broke out of that, never carried a PPV through just his name.
The best fight of the year is only a few weeks after this garbage fight, Canelo - GGG. Floyd not only doesn't care about boxing, he seems intent on destroying it, that stupid, selfish piece of shit. One of the biggest and most important fights for boxing in years, Canelo - GGG, a fight that would bring in more casuals into boxing, he is cockblocking with a fight that is sure to turn hundreds of thousands of potential fans off. Floyd is such a cancer on the sport.
