    Guys he doesn't need someone who can do what Mayweather does, he needs someone to mimic is style. His stance and dimensions, just has to be relatively close. That way he gets accustomed to the style.

    I always thought that too.. There's not much tape of SRR but everyone says hire skilled and great he was.. Was information about his fights just passed down for all these years?

    Floyd only pretending to hate Arum to justify his ducking.

    Floyd did not hate Arum in 2009. Floyd even offered Pacquiao a 50/50 split plus ppv shares. And then, the last 5 yrs. Floyd hates Arum ? :huh

    I was thinking the same thing. All his posts are about Mayweather's skill set against other fights

    You know fights are judged by round right? What if a lot of those power punches came in rounds he won? Does he deserve rounds he clearly lost because of previous successful rounds?

    You could be right though.. He's smart in choosing the guy he just "lost" to in Castillo, and the guy who gave him his "toughest" fight since then, Maidana, immediately after...

    Who would be a good fit to mimic Floyd's style?

    Broner would be one.

    I give Floyd some props when it comes to ability. Floyd is like Kim Kardashian of boxing. Kim is making a lot of money without any talent. Floyd is making a lot of money with boring fights.

    There is no contract,but there is terms and they agree to that.

    If i remember it right the arum said something like this cant fing it now using my phone atm"we agree toall terms so in theory we sign the contract"

    koncz on one interview said "I just talked to Bob five minutes ago, and with what was presented by the representatives of Floyd Mayweather, we’ve agreed to all of the terms,” said Koncz, referring to a deal Pacquiao previously said he expected to be announced “before the end of this month.” “We’ve agreed to our side, so now we’re waiting for Floyd to sign off on it.”

    its basiclly like this so stop this non sesne, mayweather camp and pac camp having negotiations, pac agreed to the terms then mayweather as the A side will make a contract and put the terms that has been agreed upon and he sign it,then send it to pac camp and pac will sign it.

    pac cant make a damn contract bcos like mayweather said he is the a side.but basically or in theory he already sign the contract if that term that they agreed upon will put on the cntract.watch thunderdomeboxingtalk he explained this right contract pretty well.

    Maidana never gave him a tough fight, this is BS - an illusion. Maidana never hit him, he just tried to rough him up and threw a ton of wild punches. Floyd easily won that fight... and the second fight. Maidana didn't have the qualities to challenge Mayweather - too slow. Now that you bring this up, remember how Floyd put up a poll to see who fans wanted more for this fight? Khan or Maidana? Khan won BUT WHO DID FLOYD PICK? The slower caveman Maidana. Floyd knew Maidana was going to be aggressive and try to rough him up but an easier proposition than the much quicker and technical Khan...perfect example of Floyd cherry picking

    as far as Castillo, Floyd was forced to take second fight cause many thought Castillo won first one. The second wasn't easy either...

    Mayweather has stayed away from Khan, Pacquiao for a reason - they have speed and Floyd usually uses his superior speed to out punch opponents.

    Canelo, Cotto, Maidana all had a punchers chance (anyone does) but probabilities were low and Floyd knew it.

    speed , smarts and experience destroys power most of the time.

    do you even watch boxing? Mayweather has only had a size advantage over 2 opponents. Hatton and Marquez. Other than those 2 fights, he is generally the smaller man in the ring.

    Floyd's natural God Given boxing talents are incredible no one doubts that
    BUT Like Ive said before many times talent alone does not automatically make him an ATG. He has to use that ability in taking on all comers & PROVING he deserved the title ATG
    Floyd hasn't used those talents to the best of his ability. He ducked several fighters who he feared migh beat him. The guys he fought he never really gave them a level playing field to fight on. He only fights in Vegas where he knows he has the commission & their officials to ensure he doesn't lose.
    Yes Floyd could have been a bona fide ATG if only his courage & cojones matched his natural boxing abilities. He will NEVER be a bona fide ATG
    He can call himself TBE all he wants all the real boxing fans just laugh at him. He's just another talented wannabee
