    Floyd will announce next week that he will fight Pacquiao and Golovkin at the same time - that's why it's taking so long!

    that's exactly something I would expect from a casual fan. what does KO's have to do with ones ability and all time rankings ? if that factors in to your thinking that's very clouded.

    one could argue it takes MORE skill and being even greater to beat most fighters over 12 rounds while never losing. when he was near his natural weight, his ko% was awesome.

    It seems you started following Floyd from 147 and not from 130.

    its just mind boggling how some relate their excitement for ko's as a way of determining how great one is, exactly like you just did.

    you are really saying his lack of ko's when he is way out of his league in size takes away from his greatness ? wow

    It's good that pacquiao called floyd out and trapped the rat. Now if floyd still managed to wiggle out of this, he will be remembered as TBE Ducker.

    Because Floyd waited for the POLL result first. Remember, Khan won the POLL ? :D

    ok you're just a Floyd hater, I don't know what to tell you. you have your mind made up and no matter how wrong you are you don't care.

    counters don't ALWAYS start from being on the defensive, you guys act like defense Is a bad thing. its the single most important part of any championship caliber fighter along with every championship caliber team in every sport.

    Floyd pivots from offense to to defense and vise versa better than ANYONE. maybe you cant see when he transfers, when transferring from defense to offense and landing crisp counters IS offense ability

    Hearing that things are looking very good for Mayweather-Pacquiao, as of this moment. Those involved are optimistic #boxing

    people totally forget Floyd vs Jose Luis Castillo I. Many thought Castillo won the first fight, including HBO's Harold Leterman who scored it 115-111 for castillo.

    Compubox has Castillo connecting 174 power punches to Mayweather's 66! although Mayweather out jabbed him 91-30. Total landed was 203-157 for Castillo.

    The fight was somewhat controversial. Lederman is usually right unless there is a controversial decision and he had castillo 115-111. Dan Rafael of espn had it 114-114..

    in any event, many scored to for Floyd too so it was a toss up i guess although punch stats were on Castillo's side. At least we can see that Castillo went toe to toe with Floyd. De La Hoya also gave Floyd a close fight.... Floyd isn't as unbeatable as people think. He's been smart selecting his opponents...

    Pac***d rationale? So what if Arum is lying, it's still all Mayweather's fault.

    Very high. BUT! He really hasn't faced that many technicians. He often has most opponents for range, speed. Let me see how he deals with a Wilfred Benitez and we'll have a better idea.

    Arum lied to pressure Floyd to fight Pacquiao. Arum lied about the signed contract but did not lie about that Him and Pacquiao agreed to all Floyd's demand and willing to fight him on May 2nd.

    Floyd's ability and skill put him above RJ imo. The moment RJ's physical abilities started depleting is when he started getting his ass handed to him. Where did the man's skill go? Floyd's been maintaining his dominance even though his physical ability has slowly eroded.
