Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or a..

[cyclone]

I'm as serious as a heart-attack.

He ain't gonna knock him out though because Floyd's going to concede on his stool between rds rather than go out on his shield...

You'll be calling Maidana a cherry pick when Floyd beats him..

Floyd is a cherry-picker, he's been doing it since 2002 when Castillo whupped him and got robbed on the cards? Were you born yesterday, son?

Y'know, previous to that fight, Floyd was an outstanding Jr-Lightweight Champ culminating in the Corrales fight in 2001. The next year, Floyd became risk-averse after Castillo whipped him in 2002. Before the Castillo fight, Floyd didn't duck people and used to fight with balls, keyword, used to. Changed his whole approach.

Gotta him some credit though, he's been fighting some top young fighters lately.
Quite amazing that he's maintained that level of conditioning for so long.
He's past his prime and lost some speed and his reflexes have slowed, but technically he's one of the best, and it'll allow him to continue to compete against younger, stronger fighters because many of them are not well-schooled nowadays. Protected too much on the way up so they don't develop as much as they should.
