Floyd has got his knickers in a right proper twist then. Won't be the same Floyd we knew and ....loved. :rolleyes:
Time's got a way of makin a man rusty, dusty and crusty. Watch for a shocker, an upset in the making, his days are over, even the great Floyd Mayweather has a limit when taking too much time out of the ring will catch up with him. He is a biscuit, he is a scone, a crumpet, a pork pie. Time for him to lick it up from the canvass. Bye, Floyd. Bye bye.
I hope so, I hate that wee prick.Quote:

Haters gonna hate.
Be positive guys..only one that beats floyd is himself.
youre right but thats true of everyone then. Like me I always beat myself but no one can beat me. We are our own worst enemies.Quote:

Quack.
I think sometime soon we're gonna see Floyd pull a Roy Jones and just get old overnight. He isn't nearly as quick as he was just a few short years back IMO.
There are plenty of things to question about Floyd but his intelligence isn't one of them. I think he'll know when it's time.Quote:

Agreed that Floyd has definitely slowed & is getting hit more often than in his younger days. But the fact that his defence is so good & technical foundation is so solid is the main reasons it has not affected as much as it did Jones.Quote:

It's the same with Hopkins, he has such excellent fundamentals that he can still perform at an elite level such an advanced age
Maybe you're right...
Just my opinion, just seemed that when Jones slowed guys started getting to him (tagging him) he had no real defensive game. In his prime he was fast enough to avoid shots, keep his hands down low. But with age that style became his downfallQuote:

agreed---there is only 1 bhop and it aint floyd, believe me. yes is def more of a RJJ. Speed and reflexes and nothing else. Hop can sit in the pocket and punch from his arse. Floyd would be dead meat in a single second doing the same thing.
