    Even a Shot Oscar made it a close fight with his jab..

    Khan's hand speed too much for 37yr old Floyd...

    Enjoy the slow Latino beat em up show.. At least Maidana gets a good pay day..

    Floyd's best win is vs Corrales 10 years ago.. Probs his best win which says it all..

    Khans crying way too much now, making me less of a fan. I actually wanted the Khan fight but now that I think about it, Maidana meh.

    Anyways..

    Pac never wants to fight a counter puncher after an old, slow Marquez counter punched his ass to sleep

    I'm guessing when Floyd started calling Shane out years before they fought we were all imagining it?

    Thta's funny that you mention Shane Mosley as your example. Shane was coming off one of the best victories of his career against a guy who was thought to be seemingly indestructable.

    After he beat Margarito the way he did, most pundits/observers thought FLoyd would NEVER get in the ring with Shane. He ends up fighting him and wiping the floor with him in that fight, and than all of a sudden SHane is "old."

    That's the epitome of a double standard, plain and simple.

    People have long said that Alvarez's speed is more impressive than his power... and it took him to the lineal title at JMW. So I don't know about this.

    Cotto's jab is one of the faster punches in boxing.

    Mosley was the #1 WW boogeyman that Floyd would never ever grow the balls to dare fight until he signed to fight him. In which case Mosley aged years and wars overnight.

    "People have long said"??????
    Who the hell has equated Canelo with speed?
    I can take where someone might have said Canelo's speed is underrated.
    I've heard the same when fans speak of Cotto, but it does'nt mean that they're saying they're in an elite group of fast fighters. It means alot of people stereotype Latino fighters as being slow and Canelo and Cotto are above that average which is why one would say "Canelo's speed is underrated."

    Cotto is'nt a p4p'er anymore and was'nt at the time he faced Mayweather.

    Mosley's speed had visibly evaporated by the time he stepped in a ring with Mayweather. By the time they fought, Mosley had put in a few atrocious performance that would lead one to believe he was well on the downside.

    Mayweather beat down Judah, swole up his eye, bloodied his nose, so I don't see point of this thread.

    lfoyd likes the straight ahead one dimensional Latino fighters, or old shot fighters.

    Floyds legacy is the Baldomers of the game.

    That's funny, because Pac a lot of the same guys did, after Floyd beat them.
