Fo the first time Floyd no longer looks like a kid to me. Father Time is doing his work.
I was thinking the same thing Marble. I could see a little hint of grey on his chin, and he did look a little older. Marble how the hell do you find the time to post on here. If i lived in Maui i don't think i would ever be inside.Quote:

Back on topic, I really wonder who Floyd is now. Roger admits he's slowing down and now he looks older. I don't think Ortiz is the guy who can leave him marked up the way older fighters get marked up, but has he waited too long to get after Manny?
Of course it is my view Manny is on the downside as well, so who the hell knows.
Have you seen Floyds dad? That's what he has to look forward to. Good thing he got rid of the "pretty boy" name because if his father is any indication, he's gonna be ugly...lolQuote:

dam he must have picked up smoking two packs a day since I last saw him. Father time is definitely startin to leave a mark on him, looks to be 40 which is funny because he always used to look younger than he was.
floyd really isn't very bright... they shouldn't let him talk in public.
Talking in public is a Mayweather family gift!Quote:

big respect for PBF for taking this fight, don't let the looks fool you there is zero I mean ZERO wear and tear with this guy.
His left shoulder and both of his hands particularly the knuckles have given him problems at least since 2001.Quote:

I'm not so sure how genuine he is knowing Pacquiao is already committed for September, but who knows Marquez wouldn't be the only fighter that fell down from a tuneup fight.

I think this will be one of the most interesting fights of floyd's career, will he be old in the ring? will he still be the best etc?
I'm actually very interested in this fight now.
We've been tricked. That's no Mayweather, that's an imposter. No confrontation when they touched nose? Didn't Floyd have a scuffle with Shane when they touched? And how many times did he thank the fans there?Quote:

What the non boxing fans who judge a fighter on the way they talk to the media outside the ring rather than the boxing fan who only cares about what a fighter does in the ring?Quote:

You don't half talk some shit.
If you were paying attention to the comment instead of who wrote the comment you would have understood it.Quote:

That comment is about gaining fans and not about legacy. If you think Floyd does not care about getting some fans, then you're wrong. He cares even if it's only during the promotions for his fights. Why do you think he keeps thanking the fans in that speech? It's the general public (maybe this is what you call the nonboxing fans) who catapults a PPV into a megahit.
As you can see, I refrained myself from hurling insults and name-calling. I can be civil even if you are not.
I'm actually excited to see this fight. First, cause mayweather is back in the ring. Second, Ortiz is pretty big and is a reasonable opponent. But Mayweather still wins this one.
haha somethings never change! It seems everytime Floyd is questioned and doubted he comes up with a super performance!
I used to be PBF's biggest hater when I posted reguarly before, however the bloke is without doubt one of the most complete boxers of all time, there really is no doubting that.
He will school Ortiz.
Floyd talking about Manny, legal issues, and Ortiz on ESPN? I'll have to put that on my "things-to-do-list".
1. Watch the Wlad-Haye fight.
2. Cut the grass.
3. Wash the car.
4. Enjoy the 4th of July with family.
5. Catch up on some house projects.
6. Watch a re-run of the Wlad-Haye fight (if it's good).
7. Sleep.
8. Rest.
So on...
and so forth...
101. Think about watching Floyd talk on ESPN.
102. Decide I've got better things to do.
103. Cut the grass.
104. Wash the car.
etc.
etc.
etc.
Nothing that man could ever say interests me in the least bit.
;)
Did you forget to make time for Bernard vs Tito? :p sorry sorry I joke!Quote:
