    Floyd doesn't have a lot of power and he doesn't cut weight, which means he's always fighting guys with 10-25 functional pounds on him on fight night. Floyd had a lot of exciting performances in his career and did a lot of virtuoso highlight reel shit when he was younger. He was lighting guys up with both hands. He was having a conversation about the superbowl mid fight with Jim Lampley during his fight with Bruseles, before knocking him out with a body shot.

    Now he's an old fan fighting guys much bigger and younger than him. His exciting days are over.
    Long long gone, when was his last legitimate stoppage?

    No way!

    That is why I hate when he talks crap about knocking out his opponent or going back to basics and chopping trees BS like that will give him some power.

    He saw clips of Foreman and Shavers doing it and got the idea I guess.

    He's old, he's got brittle hands and he's not a big puncher. He's not going to be KOing anyone at this point for sure.
