44 and hasnt fought for 4 years, which of those champs you think he beats easy werk?

I’d fancy him over Ugas and Castano 100% and I’d personally still fancy him to outbox Charlo straightforwardly. Crawford and Spence jr. are no easy fight for a 44 year old who hasn’t fought in 4 years but Floyd is that rare of a fighter that I’d still back him.

He would get smashed by any top welter (plus plenty of 140s and a few 135s). Old and inactive, his reflexes and timing will be trash now, and without that his style just wont work.
Backing floyd vs spence and crawford is enough to rank you as strait disillusion...

I’m not saying that Floyd still retains all his skills of 7 years ago but he’s a freak, who keeps himself in shape, and it’s not unheard of for fighters in their 40s to still be world class.
I personally think he could hold his own against world class light welters/welters still but that’s just me.
But I understand why people would think the opposite.
I don’t think any view is straight up delusional.

...just stop.

FMJ barely survived Marcos Maidana 7 years ago. Your view “is straight up delusional.”

What a decline by Mayweather from May that year when he beat Canelo to September where all his skills went to shit, right?

Get your facts straight, Dioufus, and get back to me.

I may have got the dates reversed but the point remains that they were only 6 months between beating Canelo and his skills evaporating and scrapping past Maidana according to the above poster.
Which is bollocks.

Are you talking to me, or the great poster in the sky?

FMJ fought Marcos Maidana twice in 2014 (May and September). He struggled mightily in both. In the opinions of a significant chunk of people, he lost the first fight, which gave him the excuse to waste another date dancing with Marcos rather than giving other young lions their shot.

Whether his gifts and skill set declined between September of 2013 and May of 2014 has nothing to do with this. Whether he has declined in the 7 years since a limited (though dangerous) Maidana fought him even is the question (which is obviously rhetorical)?

FMJ is fighting an 0-1 YouTube influencer rather than Spence or Crawford or Charlo or Josh Taylor because the YouTube influencer will not tear him to shreds the way the current rulers of 140-154 would.

End of....

I remember you on webl man and you always made me laugh when you would take the piss out of David Payne's argument that Michael Sprott stood a chance against David Tua and you would call him Julius Splotty

Hope you're well man, been a long time!

Yes indeed. I’m cool, man. You good?
What the hell did happen to Sprott?

Neither of the Maidana fights were close. People hate Mayweather and we’re clutching that he lost a few rounds. There was no way either fight were close

I'm sick of the BS TBE undefeated claims. He's also not likeable. I cant remember s single Mayweather fight I've seen that I enjoyed once he moved up the weights. I switched off Canelo and Pac through sheer boredom and went back to bed. Not gonna happen but I would be glowing for days if a freak result saw Mayweather beaten. It might be his hair, but he looks a bit old suddenly.

Corrales was a sheer class display, PBF was brilliant.
