    This is a serious question, if there is nothing he can do I would be perfectly fine with you saying absolutely nothing or impossible.


    As a fan of boxing for me it's pretty frustrating to watch so many critics tear him down for just being a phenomenal boxer. First people say the maidana fight sucks, then they say maidana beats him, so why not do the rematch, now floyd is a runner in the rematch when he stood inside last fight and banged. Now he's scared of khan, but i'm sure if he beat khan.... khan would then be an over rated bum with a glass chin.


    A few weeks ago most of us saw Kell Brook give Shawn Porter a boxing lesson and I think most would agree that Kell put on a great show. Floyd does the same thing and he's a coward runner. BHOP does nothing but hold and grab and people say he's greater than floyd in terms of all time ranking..





    so anyways.... what would floyd have to do to get respect in your opinion?

    He needs to invent a time machine, go back to 2009, fight like a 38 year old and not bring up testing.

    what's that mean? I'm genuinely curious about this. It's really strange to watch. Like if Maidana did to Floyd, what Floyd did to Maidana last night. People would be calling it a legendary Performance.

    - Brook didn't have a crooked ref protecting him and allowing him to clamp his opponent's arm

    - Brook didn't demand Porter wear gloves with extra padding

    - Brook was fighting IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY in his opponent's home country, something Floyd has NEVER had the courage to do

    - Brook never pretended to be bitten when he wanted a rest or time to recover

    - Brook never pretended to be pushed down to get the ref to deduct a point

    - Brook doesn't beat up women as far as I know

    Lose, he would have to lose and be humble in defeat so that the public feels he is not a threat to the status quo

    It's really too bad Floyd didn't fight Pacquiao, Margarito, Williams, and Martinez.

    If he beats Pacquiao, it's too late. If he beats Golovkin, then Golovkin was somehow "drained", even if it was at 160. Mayweather has reached a level so high that no matter what he does and who he beats he won't get any credit for it.

    Floyd should move up to MW and rematch Cotto.

    Let's see what his critics have to say when Floyd's a six division champion.
