your opinion on what factors have made Floyd great
A lot of negative stuff about Floyd lately so I figure I'd try something positive. We don't need to talk about his recent links to Lance Armstrong and Manny Rameriz, let's keep it positive.
I seriously think Floyd's jab is a major factor in his successor. I think he could win a fight on points just using that jab.
Can't not talk about that defense. IMO there is no way he could have lasted so long without it. The guy makes his defense more exciting than his offense. I often watch fighters highlights of defense on YouTube. Tyson in his prime was probably the best hw defense I've seen of recent era. No matter what the caliber of Floyd's opponents his defense is a thing of art. All the peds in the world couldn't make that. I think we are coming to the end of the Floyd and Manny era, it's not like boxing will stop with these guys gone but it will be sad to see it happen. I hope they both go out gracefully.

besides all his merits, avoiding manny pacquiao in his prime
Re: your opinion on what factors have made Floyd great
he said that it was because the peds, but when he said that he would take the test floyd started with the things about getting much more money, all ppv etc, and they were still in their prime when that

Floyd's a great business man and fighter, but his legacy will be tested.
Kids want his success, not adopt his fighting moves.
I have not studied him a lot, all I can say so far Floyd has couple of trademark techniques (apparently shoudler roll and pull counters), the rest like jab, footwork is nothing really new and flashy, it is just that he is doing well, at a right time and in the right place.
So, in my mind, I cannot invision some youtube highlights of Floyd , which will inspire future technicians 10 years from now. What is inspiting is what Pernel WHitaker did, James Toney to an extent ( in Bakley fight), Roy Jones, SRL, Tyson.

He seems like a nice guy, so innocent somehow. I think he done everything right, And the beef between him and pac, arum or whatever it's funny, because the whole world talking about it, People saying stuff they shouldn't and making fun of both floyd and pac online, i've heard some good jokes about both of them. It brings me a good laugh, as long as i'm happy I'm fine with whatever he's doing
Re: your opinion on what factors have made Floyd great
Coming from a non fan here but in a way..his attitude and arrogance. Not caring a single percent what the fans, the press and every other single person on Earth thinks or says about your style or execution has to some sort of asset and a total clean slate. Its one thing to run your mouth and act a clown but when that is accompanied with a master defense and boxing mind its massive. And in case I didn't mention it the guy is a total twat ;D

Careful matchmaking LOL ;)
Re: your opinion on what factors have made Floyd great
I also dislike Floyd in many ways but I am always in awe watching him box. His personality reminds me of Ruthless Rocco but despite that being a boxing fan you can't help appreciate what the guy does.
Re: your opinion on what factors have made Floyd great
Just his ability to shut down his opponents offence. It's so impressive seeing multi weight world champions just standing infront of him utterly bomboozled. He almost lacks defining victories because a lot of his defining fights have been so one sided. His consistency is also fantastic. He has everything other than one punch ko power.
