Floyd Mayweather Jr. may have finally lost his mind calling Emanuel Steward an Uncle Tom and saying the American public hates you because you because your black. No they don't like you because you are arrogant, cocky and disrespectful. I personally don't care how a fighter wants to be portrayed weather they choose to be a role model or not its their choice. However if you do something brash or controversial don't be mad or shocked when they don't embrace you or commentators don't back you up. There has been a history of America loving its white fighters and hating their black counterparts. Just ask Jack Johnson and look how quickly they flipped on Mike Tyson if you don't believe me. He talks about people hating on him but what he did to Steward was hating to. I'm not pissed he thinks America is racist because it is, I'm pissed because he dissed a true legend. Look at what Emanuel has done with the Wladimir Klitschko. He has turned a clumsy,easily fatigued heavy weight contender into The Ring recognized heavyweight champion.I don't even think he should change who his image, like I said its up to him. but he should show some respect to a Hall of Fame trainer. Weather you like him or hate him you have to agree he was wrong.
