    Simple.

    1. Chin

    2. Brain

    3. Heart.

    While this all sounds so simple, think about a few of Floyd's fights. Think about some of the tough conditions Floyd has fought through from the Corley fight, the Judah fight early, the Hatton fight, the Shane fight, the Dlh fight, the Cotto fight, and the fight where he hurt his hand against Carlos Hernandez, and went down for the first time in his career.

    All 3 of the factors he named helped him through those tough situations.

    1. Fight the easiest opponent available.
    2. Accuse closest rival of cheating so you don't have to fight him.
    3. Have a bunch of sycophants tell you how great you are wherever you go.

    Chins matter. Ask Amir Khan, David Price, and Roy Jones.

    Guys, maybe some of you don't like Floyd or his fans. I could care less about that part of boxing. I know that you've been programmed this way ever since your favorite fighters have lost or got ktfo.

    But there is one thing that you have to admit. Floyd can fight.

    Regardless of what he does outside the ring, regardless of who you didn't think that he fought, people want to see him. People want to see the alleged ducking, wife beating, so called boring fighter.

    You can always get your licks in on Floyd. You can go to his social network pages, catch him at a press conference, or catch him in the street.

    But step in that ring, and you'll find out why Floyd's peers say that he can fight.
