Floyd has rusted and soiled his knickers

[brocktonblockbust]

Floyd has got his knickers in a right proper twist then. Won't be the same Floyd we knew and ....loved.

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.

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.

Or
Conceivably even Manny

But we will probably never know.

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.

Floyd has much better fundamentals than Jones ever did! Jones relied on speed & reflexes & when they went he had nothing to fall back on

Speed and reflexes are still a huge part of his game. When you spend 15 years doing something a certain way, it's hard to adjust once you can't do it that way anymore. I've seen him get hit with punches over his last few fights that the Floyd of several years back would have ducked/rolled and laughed at.

And yeah, I agree that Floyd will probably know when he's not up to it, but pride is a hell of a thing. And also, from what I hear about Floyd's gambling and spending habits, he may end up going the "comeback" route to pay the bills, stepping in the ring when he shouldn't.

I think its unfair to suggest he's ducking any of those guys whether one loves him or hates him.

Martinez is a 160 champion and weighs about 175 pounds on fight night. Floyd is a natural welterweight and cannot be expected to jump that far up let alone be called a ducker for not doing so.
I've always suspected that he might try and accomplish what Leonard did by waiting out Martinez like Ray did Hagler but if he chooses not to, it will not effect his legacy outside of being part of the notes for these times. Btw I still think he will do it and with no catch-weights.

GGG. Another 160 and a virtual unknown and lets it real here, its simply an asinine fight for Floyd to take at this time in his career and I submit that if it were anybody else this fight would not even be brought up. Its simply a nonstarter.

Alvarez. I'm sure they have toyed with the idea at GBP but soon realized that such a fight would be the end of the new cash cow. In addition Floyd has said publicly many times over this past year that he desires to go back to 147.

Manny. Not even going to touch that. Nothing left to be said.

Yup, have to laugh at the fact that Floyd somehow owes the boxing world to fight guys 2 weight classes above him.

No one gets on Nonito Donaire to fight Gamboa, or Alvarez to fight Andre Ward.

Floyd has grown all he's going to. His fights at 154 he always weighed in well under the limit.

You are right and it is a bit of an exaggeration to claim he is ducking them but not much more outlandish than the claim that the only one who beats Floyd is himself. He is a fine boxer but he has stopped himself enhancing his own legacy on more than one occasion by postponing and avoiding anyone that might be in a position to take him out of his comfort zone. He waited a while for Mosley and Cotto before risking his 0, when in reality he could have handled the challenge when they were in their primes. It's not hating it's being a realist. Hopefully his new contract will see him keep a little busier and solidify his reputation by getting out of that comfort zone more often. He can handle it.


People store way too much emphasis on preserving that 0 and while Floyd may never change his attitude about that hopefully he will be followed by others who realise the folly of such thinking. The pantheon of greats is littered with fantastic fighters with more than 1 loss against their names.

I obviously disagree and im sure many others of the forum will back up the fact that mosley wanted no part of floyd in his prime as he had a little toothache.

Bob arum refused to let cotto fight floyd after he destroyed henry brussles in 8 rounds.

Floyd beats cotto and mosley in any era and what we will see tonight is another display of boxing perfection.

The man is right. Floyd beats everyone, including his ex-wife.

[brocktonblockbust]
