    Answering a question with a question is not a denial.

    hes the biggest star in the sport - if people are fans of boxing, why shouldnt they be interested in what hes doing?

    "Hey Tom Brady, how many times you gona play this year?"

    "Whats it got to do with you?"

    ridiculous

    Let's face it.....Floyd jr. has ultimately been his own worse enemy. His attitude...his constant disrespect and "**** the world" mentality never made him a media darling.

    But his shortcomings have produced what Floyd is today. And from what I can tell he didn't waste away in jail....Physically, he probably digressed, but mentally, spiritually and as a person there's no doubt he progressed.

    Before going in I didn't know how the time would affect him as a person...but I remember posting on it. I said "i hope he takes something away from this experience...I hope he grows into a better father and man".

    i wasn't sure because I've seen jail/prison do a LOT of different things to people....some come out changed for the better...others are far worse...but Floyd seems to understand how toxic he can be not just to himself but to the people around him that love and care for him.

    From what he's come out and said about his "time" locked away...what he took away from the whole ordeal is that he's reflected and did not like what he was before going in....Floyd was very negative before...TOO negative. he became the image he tried so hard to become and that ended up putting him behind bars.....

    The loss of your freedom is a huge game changer.....no one can prepare for something like that....well....especially if it's your first time.

    I wish Floyd all the best....I hope he blesses up with a ring return but if all he becomes is a LEGEND, ATG and one of the very best this era has produced I'll be happy for him. But what I wish is that he makes good on his word to have a hand in boxing, clean up the sport and take care of the fighters who are under his banner.

    Let's hope Broner, who likes to emulate Floyd decides that this version of Floyd is still "cool". The way he's been coming off has been a big reason for concern.

    it doesn't matter if he fights anymore to me. He haven't look like a hungry fighter for years.

    He looked pretty damn hungry in his fight with Miguel....He dominated Shane who was past his best but was willing to actually FIGHT...Floyd was just on a different level... Ortiz looked decent against Floyd but he broke down mentally and tried head butting him which helped end the fight early...too early..and controversially.

    Can you link the video or article in which Arum or Manny list Floyd as a possible opponent for December? I'll wait...

    His performance with DLH wasn't anything special. He was far too defensive and cautious. That was a fight that most felt Floyd should have dominated and he struggled. DLH was a very live dog and better than Ortiz, or that version of Shame but Cotto and DLH are two fighters who have really tested Floyd....Cotto offered a more physical test where DLH was more of a strategic test that he struggled with.

    His dumbass only knows one thing and that's Pac and what is around him.

    He is obsessed because he doesn't know about other fighters. You can't even have a conversation with him and other pactads, about Marquez because they always bring Floyd into it and make it about Floyd.

    *******s don't watch boxing nor do they know the rules, history, technical side, etc etc...of the sport.

    All runaway nani does is talk **** without anything to back up what he is saying.

    Team Pacquiao never even approached Floyd for a fight. Team Pacquiao turned down 37.5% their highest payday ever and also turned down 50/50 over drug testing.

    Not that I'm a *******....but I've been labeled on by some *****'s...but there are some *******s who have a deep knowledge and understanding of the sport...just like there are some *****'s who have exhibited the same depth of knowledge about the sweet science. The problem is MOST of the "tards" for ANY fighter only watch that one fighter and don't have a true appreciate for the sport as a whole.
