    Did Conor not hurt Floyd with a body shot? You are the only one reaching in this thread you are reaching for Floyd's gonads like you normally do when somebody suggests he might be beaten. A lot of experts have compared Tim's style to GGG. Jeff Horn confirmed Tim's pressure was too much for him I think old Jeff would know better than you pal. You showing your lack of boxing knowledge again as pressure is not just about volume of punch's thrown Tim walks guys down and cuts off the ring. Tszyu has a good jab but for whatever reason he did not use it against Mendoza that is why Tim is not straight up and down he makes subtle adjustments according to the opponent he is facing his in ring intelligence is underrated. What a surprise that you throw shade at Kostya Tszyu the only time he packed it in was when he was old in his final fight against Hatton in what was a grueling affair. When it comes to guys like Tim Tszyu you will always keep moving the goal posts and we all know why.

    He would rather fight his daddy at 140....

    But then he ran like hell and skipped a weight class to avoid him, so yeah nah... Floyd would never ever fight young Tim.

    How old was pbf when he fought Connor? And no he didn't hurt him.
    Tim was getting outboxed and outworked by Mendoza early who's not that good he's very limited. I scored the fight 8-4 timmy btw. I don't want to hear about him being some pressure fighter can he apply pressure yes all boxers can but he fights in spurts too much to be a traditional pressure fighter. Pressure fighters aren't content with getting out worked 50 punches a round isnt alot especially not alot at 154. I understand why he does it he wants to conserve energy and pick his spots to unload with power which is his game.


    I'm not throwing shade at his father I'm making an assessment of strengths and weaknesses of fighters your problem is you take everything as diss if you have something critical to say about a fighter thats your own insecurities showing up. The fact is he should've rematched cool Vince a guy he had no business losing to in the first place. If Tim took a loss like that I think he would want to avenge it.

    Floyd was 40 but Conor had a record of 0-0 and it looked like he hurt Floyd to the body and Coner was out boxing and out working Floyd early until he made adjustments much the same as how Tim made adjustments against Mendoza. You see in boxing it is not always possible to win every round. Your assessment of Tim's skills is truly laughable and shows you really don't know what you are watching.
    Kostya Tszyu lost to Vince Phillips and Phillips was not a bad fighter at all. It was a Banana skin and he came back stronger they can't all be undefeated winning and losing is a part of boxing it really only is cherry pickers who retire undefeated.

    you should put up a poll as well

    Mayweather is too skilled and beats Tszyu but I doubt it would have happen anyways as it would have been too much of a risk for Mayweather to take. If people think Tszyu beats Mayweather they are probably caught up in a prisoner of the moment situation. Mayweather is a top 10 fighter of all time whereas Tszyu is just a really good fighter.

    While I cannot stand Floyd's ignorant, arrogant "but he's the best ever yo!" millennial fan base, Floyd decisions Tszyu without getting out of second gear.

    I'm not even convinced Tszyu is truly an elite contemporary talent much less someone capable of defeating an ATG like Mayweather.

    It's one of those dream matches that never happened. I would've had Floyd winning by UD simply bc Hatton beat Tszyu.

    Not quite true & you know it. There are more dark clouds over Floyd's career & illegal behavior than anyone else in recent years. He should be in the Hall of Shame not the HOF. No woman beating , Peds abusing, cheating coward should ever be considered for induction. He certainly is no where near an elite ATG
    As for Antonio Margarito ? I do not consider him a God. To me he is a good ,honest , innocent man who happens to also be a darn good FIGHTER !! That YOUR God you worship was scared to death of as you know, & you cant hide it because all the boxing world saw his embarrassment & humiliation didn't they. I would never be surprised to see the truth come out about why that ridiculous Plaster Blocks lie ever grew into the destroying an innocent mans livelihood & good name. I truly hope it does & those responsible are made to pay for their crimes. I think this is an ideal case for Karma to deal with & I Know who I truly believe were responsible & hope they pay dearly if I;m right

    Hilarious isn't he ??? ROFL He says this about every fighter his idol Floyd has nightmares about. Floyd would never get in the ring with Margarito, Tim Tszyu, & the 3 B's even it was in Vegas with the Vegas mafia officiating & they tied his opponents hands & feet together first. He's really a sad, heartbroken boy because no one likes him except his lemmings

    Yep and I think that Floyd was a great fighter but to deny that he was a cherry picker and an ultimate opportunist who always stacked the deck heavily in his favor is living in denial and a guy who has watched as much boxing as pimp deep down knows this.

    You finally admit why Floyd fought McGregor. He was an MMA fighter making his pro boxing debut against the supposed TBE in the sport & call it Floyd #50 win. Conor never had a chance how that got sanctioned proves how corrupt this sport has become
