So really..What can we say..
We can keep bringing him down and i kept hoping oscar would hurt him..
And regardless of the fact it was no masacre but yet close..
Floyd showed the ability that he has..By making a living legend work like he has never worked before..
And still won the fight..Imo by a point..
So what can really be said..All i can bring myself to do is say..Well he won.. showed he can do what he did before with another level of competition..Could it be there is no competition for floyd..
Is cotto too easy to hit and too slow to beat floyd..The answer is probably yes..
Would hatton's workrate and style of slipping and body punching give floyd trouble..Maybe..
But we know for a fact that a slick boxer gives hatton all the trouble in the world..and he isnt entirely hard to hit...
Could it be that margarito has the power to really hurt floyd.. The answer is likely to be no..
What has floyd shown..
I mean look at him.. Hes never been truely hurt.. For split seconds i know he has..
But just look at the oscar fight when they are posing and both trying to get off first..
I looked at floyd and thought..Right..Which shot should he go for..
There was nothing!.. His hands seem low..But they in fact protect his body..
If you do throw the jab then your open for the fastest right hand counters around..
Right hands get rolled away from.. and the left hooks blocked or slipped
All the craft he has shown against opponents that could be belittled was still there and in full effect against probably the most worthy opponent either yet..Or atall..
And although he has never had that defining fight.. Whether he retires or not..
He never will.. Because there is just no competition for floyd..
The only thing that could remotely be the possiblility of his defining fight is mosely..
And everybody should know that though its an interesting concept to fight mosely..
Floyd would not risk trading with shane mosely as the speed of shane is as close to floyds as he will find.. And i dont see shane anywhere near outboxing floyd..
If he took that fight he would just win the best way for himself..
Although he is by far not the most exciting fighter out...
There really is no denying his legacy.. There is no more competition that he could have fought to say he didnt fight anyone who was a genuine threat to him..
Im starting to think that floyd will probably be portrayed in future as a huge all time great...
If i could take that away from him ..I would..Not scared to say that..
But i dont think theres anything to deny him a massive legacy if he is in permanent retirement as of now
Gottdamn i hope he fights again...
P.s I had a feeling he would do the whole ' roger mayweather mexican assasin' thing..
Proper cheeky!! Well worth a giggle!
