CC for the humurous link..
"PC: I think he wants to visit a few gyms to see how everything is and make a decision. That's what is being reported.
Floyd SR: He needs to go visit a psychiatrist."
best line hahaha.
CC, that was great. That might be the funniest interview I've read yet. Sr. sure has a way with words; and I love his pot-shotting at Ellerbe, freakin' awesome. I hope Floyd does try to fight a top guy in MMA; he'll get abused. I'd rather see him do his thing and stay in boxing, and fight Cotto. That's what the fans of boxing want to see the most.

Thanks for the link. Funny as hell ...
Nice arcticle funny that bro cc.
:coolclick: good article buddy I love reading what big Floyd has to say. He's one crazy-ass muthafucker lol
CC That idiot always cracks me up
I agree with one crazy thing Floyd Sr. said, that if some of the top guys tried to just stand and use their fists with him even, he'd kick their ass.
Floyd Sr. may be over 50, but I would not want to try and spar his ass let alone street fight him.
Very funny article but he did make a lot of sense on a couple of things.
1) Why the hell is Floyd thinking about this apart from $30m? He will defo get beaten by a half decent MMA fighter. I do not think boxers have faired well when they have moved across.
2) Floyd would make a lot of money from commercials and fighting big names/ dangerous fights i.e. Cotto/ Williams and dare I say it Margarito.
Actually the things he says in the interview are right on the button...Just that SR has his own off color way of putting things taking away from its seriousness....but he is right
Floyd will find out all his slick moves will do him zero if he gets caught on the mat by a top mma fighter...and they will get him on the ground even if it means eating some shots....worse comes to worse he would lose on points for running...
he is right Floyd could make a mint doing spokesman work in commercials etc if he did not act like such an ass and shut the hell up with all his bragging
Holy crap.......funny bring a teer to the eye of a read man! I love hearing Sr.go ape S*** over anything.Sounds like he just ate boo-koo peanut butter and sipped some MD 20/20. :-X :P Tells it like it IS though.
This will not happen,mayweather just rideing it.Theres NO WAY.Floyd needs to meet welter players and shut them down.???
There are not many boxers who would be successful in MMA. The ones who could pull off victories would be guys with super fast hands and loads of power.
I think a prime Tyson or Jones Jr. could have been successful, simply because they could potentially end a fight quickly before the fight ever got to the ground.
On the flip side of the coin, not to many MMA fighters would be successful at boxing either, they would get their asses handed to them.
they dont need to take floyd to the mat to kiss his a$$, one kick on floyd's thighs and he will limp already. he has never tasted that before so his body would react differently. his shoulder roll will get his arms broken in two if he blocks a kick with that.
I think Mayweather Sr. and Floyd should get in the cage and just settle things once and for all :laugh:.
Floyd is not going to seriously fight in MMA, whoever believes that is simply gullible. He said he was getting into it, and i'm pretty sure its a promotional venture with his buddy Mark Cuban.
Why would he leave a sport that pays him millions to dominate for a sport that only gives their top fighters a fraction of that money and where he'll be outgunned?
If he did fight inside a cage, it'd be a simple exhibition bout against a horrible opponent that will probably be instructed to make Floyd look good.
For a man that many call an idiot and ignorant, he talked and awful lot of sense there.
My question is who can Floyd beat in MMA? In all honesty....Knowing Floyd and his ego he is going to want to fight the best right off...just like in boxing.( :lolhaha: :lolhaha:)..sorry couldn't help myself....OK back to business.....If he fought any elite guys in MMa around his weight class and that would have to be 145 because the next division is too big for him especially on the mat.....
At 145 in the WEC we have Jens Pulver and Uriah Faber...Two VERY bad ass little guys that would hurt PBF in the worst way...they are world class fighters...again not boxers but fighters
UFC has..Sean Sherk, Joe Stevenson who is a true bad ass....again they murder him....
at 154 you might as well call the homocide division before the fight even starts....
In the 155+ PBF has even less of a chance...who is he going to beat..Matt Serra?...St Pierre? BJ Penn.....
None of these guys will take kindly to Floyds pre fight antics..care about him being "Money" Mayweather or anything else....all that will do is get an extra few seconds before they break on the tap...
Kimbo Slice adapted fairly well to the cage. He was given a little tutelage by Bas Rutten and although he wasn't fighting a MMA guy he did reasonably well.
If Floyd does make the move he'll get the best training available and prepare accordingly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen sub 147 either. Floyd is a natural athlete so who knows ???
He'll be unbearable should he succeed.

Good interview. Floyd Sr. never censors a thing he thinks, speaks his mind loud. Always surprises me with his wisdom sometimes.
Love how he gave the little message to ellerbe about his head being up floyd's ass "make sure to put that in there" ;D
Absolutley true. But I'd say Floyd would be even more adaptable than Kimbo as he seems to learn well and his body is in excellent condition at all times. I'm not suggesting that Floyd will go in to this new sport and become a top guy, but he may well succeed in a couple of custom made exhibitions.Quote:

For as much as Sr. And Jr. have difference's and had a fallen out,Pop's sure has a subtle way of keeping all eyes on Floyd! :-\
This WILL NOT happen.
I don't like the way he gets his points across but he does speak some sense. I love the part about Ellerbe,it's SO dam true.

I know he split with BC Dawson, he's still got Guzman, but who else is Floyd Sr. Training at the moment?
