    Default Does this have anything to do with why floyd calls himself "Pretty Boy Floyd"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Boy_Floyd

    the origin of his name was never disclosed and I stumbled across this so just rectifying with everyone else

    I remember them saying something about this in the 24/7 series...

    I think its what his team mates called him when he was an amateur because he would always come out of the fight without any harm done to his face

    yep that's why..because his amateur teammates used to say that he never looked like he'd been in a fight..

    But how can you be in a fight if you RUN AWAY from the fight?

    Well it's hit and not be hit..and floyd's one of the best that ever did it...even Ali after beating liston bragged that he didn't have a mark on him after the fight...so if you were trying to take a shot at floyd meaning that he runs....if by runs you mean he's not stupid enough to let other people hit him then yeah he runs...

    i believe he got the nickname from the amateurs because he had very little swelling after fights.

    if he chose that nickname because of that dude then i'm worried lol

    no pbf calls himself that because in his amateur days he would never get hit in the face clean and not get cut or bruised, he would be unmarked compared to the other amateurs so thats where the name originated from not this old school villain with the creepy mustache waiting by the railroad train tracks!

    Floyds first few pro fight were on espn last night and even then he was getting bood like crazy cause the fans hated his style. Even then he was saying he wanted to leave the sport undamaged and that he would keep fighting like that, so that he could. His career has definetely gone the way he wanted it to. You gotta give him that.

    check out pbf on wikipedia, editing the article has been disabled due to vandalism!!!

    I think the moderators missed something tho:
    He was given the nickname "Bitch Boy" by his amateur teammates because his face never had cuts or bruises after fights
    :P

    im just being real, it doesn't take a gay guy to know who looks better then the two before and after the fight, floyd did have more changes on his face then oscar after the fight....and to call yourself prettyboy is prettygay....
