Floyd Mayweather Jr receives more criticism about his 'gangster' image

In a recent interview, Bernard Hopkins reiterated what I have been saying all along. Floyd Mayweather Jr has serious self esteem issues. There’s something wrong with him deep down. The way he portrays himself and the things he says about others have led people like Bernard Hopkins to this very conclusion. Let’s examine this further.

“Floyd ain’t no gangster like he thinks he is. If he wants to waste money in clubs, blow $40 million dollars and not pay his taxes, that’s on him. I don’t have a self-esteem problem, Floyd does.” Bernard Hopkins,AllHipHop.com

Jaime Wilson Sacramento, CA “Why does Mayweather Jr always act like he’s some kind of gangster?”

Mayweather Jr has spent the last several years trying to make people think he’s made of money and that he’s some kind of gangster. Mayweather always brags about how much money he has, how much money he gambles, and how he always ‘makes it rain’. Let’s not forget about how he showed up last year to a press conference with an armor truck.

Almost every interview, Mayweather Jr talks about money. He talks about how much he can make and how it’s a lot more than other people. But, Bernard Hopkins hit it on the head when he said that Floyd has self esteem problems. Anyone who tries so hard to get people to buy into a certain image is covering up for what’s going on deep down.

A few weeks back, Mayweather Jr spoke about how his upbringing was dysfunctional because his parents had drug problems and his father went to prison. This could definitely have contributed to Floyd’s problems. However, you’d think a 33 year old man would have gotten over these issues or at the very least sought professional help. Its clear Mayweather Jr hasn’t.

He just keeps going on attacking others and trying to portray some thug like image. In addition to his thug image, Mayweather Jr is also trying to convince others that he’s a savior of all sports. He’s this big drug crusader. I wish Mayweather Jr would put more effort into fighting legit contenders than he does into manufacturing a certain image. Instead he’s constantly attacking others verbally and getting into trouble with the law.
