    That says it all.

    Floyd is one of the greats. Where we rank him, it's hard to say. Only years after he has retired can we truly place him.

    who can't be ordinary with a very defensive boxer. you can't make fireworks when your opponent doesn't want to engage. and we expect that it's normal boxing for one fighter to just run and defend. hehehe. we are always looking at floyd's opponents and not his performance being the top player of the sport. part to blame for this, are the boxing judges. they are making boxing different with the bias on certain fighters styles and popularity. tyson was just right in being disappointed with floyd's performance. the tbe claim is delusional.

    Die hard boxing fans appreciate him. But most people can't stand the way he fights

    you have to give him credit, even at 38 he's a remarkable boxer with almost no stamina issues

    those losers making the excuses can't deal with it

    I can't believe Floyd is still so fast at 38.

    To put this in perspective, Roy Jones Jr, widely considered one of the fastest fighters ever, lost his speed by age 35.

    Turning, using footwork, keeping the perfect disctance, circling, jabing, lead left hooks, righthands, uppercuts, standing his ground is boxning tho.

    I was very disapointed in Pacquiao I thought he would bring it but he wasn't good enough.

    Floyd fought his typical fight and nobody ever complained this much. People have just ramped it up because they liked Pacman and wanted to see him knock out Floyd.
