I can compartmentalize Floyd the person and Floyd the boxer though (that's why I've never rooted against him). Whatever his act/persona is outside the ring, I agree- a total douche that makes our fellow Douche of the off topic forums look like a nice guy- but as a boxer, he's just too skilled.
Most people prefer the unskilled fighters who rely on standing and fighting, rather than hitting and avoid getting hit.
While I do enjoy a good slugfest (Provodnikov/Matthyse anyone?) I can appreciate Mayweathers style because it's as pure of a boxer as it gets.
