    The interviewer should have asked him about his IV what he had on his sofa.

    Yep. Pretty much knew that your tiny undeveloped brain wouldn't be able to comprehend.

    Don’t think Mayweather would stand much of a chance against Hearns tbh. No disrespect towards Mayweather, since he started out at 130 and The Hitman began his career at 147. Hell of a difference at the lower weights, especially against an ATG puncher.

    Stylistically Hearns would pose serious problems but then again Hearns poses serious problems for anyone. As Muhammed Ali said of the young Hitman Hearns “Hearns is just awesome” and as we know Nothing is perfect except for Floyd’s boxing record.

    Well Canelo was caught with Clenbuterol in his system which he attributed to contaminated beef . I love Canelo but this is a stain on his legacy.

    I agree with you on all this. I think Hearns would win. But that is why Floyd constructed a winning record so he could use this argument. Now anyone who has a loss he can say they were solved and he never was. The fact is they fought everyone and they were willing to fight.. He was not.

    It's Floyd, don't take him seriously. He said recently he should have been athlete of the decade too. He backs it up by saying he is his own boss and doesn't have sponsors behind him. The **** does that have to do with being athlete of the decade? He's nowhere near athlete of the decade.

    He's not fooling anyone apart from the huggers and the casuals.

    For me, boxing is the best sport on the planet, mainly due to the old adage: 'styles make fights'

    If you look at someone like Iran Barkley, in terms of ability, he's not even on the same planet as a guy like Floyd. Yet Barkley beat a guy who Floyd never could, because he possessed attributes that Floyd didn't have.

    Floyd would never have signed to have fought Tommy Hearns.

    To me, it's actually an insult for him to say that he'd have beaten him.

    It wouldn't have been perfect had he have fought Hearns.

    Not that he would have done.

    He fought everybody in his era why would he not have fought especially if it made financial sense to.

    He waited for the right time and favorable conditions. It would have never been the right time to fight Hearns.

    Was this nicca jacked into the saline IV machine for this interview?

    He looked a little dehydrated.
