Floyd's MO: Fight slow fighters to protect his "0"

[Rodian]

It seems he's going to pass on Khan as well after passing up on Pacquiao. TBE ("The Best Excuse") just trashed Khan saying he has "Garcia" problems after trashing Pacquiao saying he has "Marquez" problems.

I guess its slow poke Danny "Dog 5h1t" Garcia in June.....smh

I think Timothy Bradley could probably outpoint Floyd at this point in his career.

TBE doesnt want to risk fighting someone who is faster than him, hence fighting the likes of Canelo, Cotto, Maidana, etc etc.

[Ian1973]

His "0" went along time ago against Castillo. It might not say so on his official record but he lost that first fight I don't care what anybody says.

[HomicideHenry]

As if Kahn could beat him anyways.

Look, they're passing on Kahn cus the guy just doesnt mean anything.

Nobody wants to see that fight except for the hardcore British fanatics.

Another thread from a Floyd lover =

[Bobbyptsd]

I was about to put up a list of the top fighters Floyd has fought, pointing out that several of them are far from what we would call "slow", either of foot or of hand. But then realized that this guy has been singing this same old tired tune for as far back as I can remember seeing him here.

So yeah, I don't think the record is going to change at this point.

Both of you have brains like a box of rocks. Keep paying to see him lose.

[FloydtheDuck]

It's like saying Valuev only fought shorter fighters

There's no one at 147 that matches his speed

Man I never wanted to see it, but please floyd fight Amir, I dunno who in their right mind would think this fight would ever be close ever. But I've seen so many boxing fans ask for it, just get it over with

I see Floyd by TKO inside 5 rounds

[ReggieDiggs]

This. Its actually a compliment @ some point these types of comments are giving him. To keep it simple guys might as well just say Floyd is fighting inferior fighters...well yea nearly everyone Floyd fights sucks...compared to Floyd. Ultimately its more of a backhanded dick rub than any sort of real insult.

[Badhusker]

Well said Reggie. I doubt if it will ever end. They will still be bring up Floyd's name for years to come reminding us all how worthless he was.

[fanman]

well judah was very fast, faster hands than mayweather. mosley was quick, de la hoya, etc, etc.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYWEATHER HATERS:

[VG_Addict]

Who are these supposed fast fighters he's been ducking, other than Pac? I'm looking at the Ring Ratings from 2007 to 2013, and the only fighters I see that are really noted for their speed are:

Martinez
Alexander
Malignaggi
Berto
Williams
Bradley
Khan

Other than that, I don't see anyone.

When I opened this thread, I expected to be told all about Floyd's big mate "MO", who I imagined was a homey from the street who Floyd knew from waaaaaaaay back, the sort of dude who would protect FMJr's "0" at all times, possibly in some sort of prison capacity.

How wrong I was, how wrong.

Well, you get to read a thread about how Floyd is just "cherry picking", isn't that new and exciting?

It's the first time I've seen a thread like this.

Today, I mean.

[Datsue]

isn't that new and exciting?

I am once again ensconced on the top floor of joy.

[Bobbyptsd]

I am once again ensconced on the top floor of joy.

Oh, I am past that even, I have shed joy and bliss, and am now in complete equanimity, fully awakened.

The thing is everyone knows what a good fighter Floyd is , everyone knows how theres not too many if in fact anyone who could beat him, But a lot think , they don't know, but they think Floyd will struggle with speed

The two fighters who people THINK may do well against him because of there speed HE WON'T FIGHT ,, Now we know Khan has been ko
ed but not at this weight , he has'nt got the best chin in the world , but against Floyd he is'nt weight drained and Floyd is'nt excatly the biggest puncher out there , but Khan is quicker , and khan is agressive , , so even if Khan gets beat easy by floyd , it still makes for a more interesting fight than most others , Same with Manny its 5 years to late , but still interesting .

But we don't know because FLOYD WON'T FIGHT THEM .and thats why floyds will never be remembered like he craves to be , because Floyd will be remembered more for the fact he would'nt fight anyone in there prime , and he would'nt fight anyone who could match him for speed , he only fought when they were too old or too slow , and he had the advantage .

For me Floyd is 3 fights away from being called an all time great ,, Garcia , Khan and Paccy , If instead of fighting easy rematches he would of thought one of the avbove , he would be 2 fights away .

[ReggieDiggs]

Floyd is the among the best of his era worst case right now & most will define him as the best of his era w/e happens @ 38 years old (the age he'll be by his next fight) & on. Can't think of anyone who wasn't among the best of their era @ 38+ & not @ under 38. Quit being silly. History don't care if he missed a couple of guys due to promotional conflicts with Bob "I was lying yesterday" Arum.

All time great is some f#cking silly boxing dungeons & dragons bs anyway & most of the people who discuss it know f#ck all about the old time guys & who they fought.

Give more people more credit ,, Boxing fans know about there heros or the fighters they take interest in ,, I know for example , Ali had a lot of gimmee fights , But i also know he fought Norton , Frazier , Foreman , ect ,, I know who Leonard fought , I know Haglers opponents , i know Gentleman Jims opponents , Archie Moores , and quite a few others ,,

Theres also a lot more i don't know , But one other thing i know is , dispite his obvious skill , Floyd has ducked , weaved and dodged most of the good guys until they are past there best , and has blatantly ducked the one man who COULD of matched him , notice i said COULD because i doubt he can now , he's shown signs of being past it and that is Paccy .

I also know that , Khan even though most think he is chinny , is very fast and agressive , just whats needed to give floyd a good fight maybee even win , and Floyd does'nt want to know , . Maybee Floyd knows that maybee Khans chin is'nt has bad now he's gone up in weight .

Maybee Floyd knows Khan has the speed to beat him , and He knows he does'nt have the power to finish him , because unless Floyd stops Khan , he loses .

The concept is silly to me cuz its fantasy dungeons & dragons sh!t not to mention cuz of the lack of knowledge about the hundreds & hundreds of guys in the "all time great" category & the thousands upon thousands of guys they fought they most know even less about. P4P is pretty f#cking fantasy too tbh, but @ least most people judging that can see all the best fighters of the era we are in & you aren't judging guys based on what other people think or newspaper articles. iirc Harry Greb doesn't even have a video around of him fighting. How the eff can you seriously judge a guy like Greb who no one can see now vs Manny or Ricardo Lopez or Jack Dempsey?

Maybe just maybe Floyd knows no one really gives a damn about him fighting Amir who's lost to two of his last 3 respectable opponents for a guy of his caliber & he woulda took a hell of a lot more sh!t if he had fought Amir than he took from fighting Marcos. It doesn't matter though cuz if Amir fought & beat a Kell or Keith or even a lesser ranked guy @ this point like Robert Guerrero to earn a fight with Floyd on Sunday morning after the fight Amir ain't sh!t & Floyd "cherry picked A mere Con". Seen it over & over. At this point in the game you'd think Ricky Hatton was a homeless mfer instead of a two division undefeated champion & top ten P4P guy @ the time any time Floyd beating him comes up.
