    What did he say that was so original and crazy? Floyd needs 24 7 to sell a fight. It's more fun to watch him work the pads than in an actual match. He didn't try too hard to knock JMM out. In other words, Nazim didn't say ****.

    He's training his opponent in an upcoming fight. Did you expect him to be a *****? Jesus

    If Mosley is a fighter and Floyd isnt, then Mosley should have an easy time whupping him then right?

    Couple of things I would like to point out. I understand Naz is bigging his boy up. He supposed to do that. But in reality...

    Not every fighter's makeup and skills translate to KOs. Floyd has normal to decent power I suppose, but his style is about outboxing his opponent. Counter punching is his game. So, if you are a counter puncher and dont have great power, well you just wont get that many KOs period. That said, he most def should have gone after it against Marquez.

    Shane WISHES he was on 24/7 as much as Floyd is. To say Shane doesnt need it is completely ridiculous. Shane has missed out on "stardom" his entire career, despite having an exciting style. Anyone think he he wouldnt like the added revenue that comes with a bigger name? Keep in mind people, if Shane was a bigger star, he wouldnt be sitting out entire years. You see this is why Pac and Floyd pick and chose who they fight and Shane has to wait and see who wants to fight him.

    Lastly, Brother Naz will have to do alot more then point out a few things to Shane about Floyd. He obviously knows this. But Im saying, the lack of a good gameplan has cost Shane some fights in the past. Shane better take that plan and stick to it instead of thinking he can bomb his way to victory.

    :lol: Nazim is always coming out with the Zenlike ****, and he's EXACTLY like that in person. Everything the guy says, you listen to :lol: it's always these amazingly bizarre yet profound metaphors.

    I think from now on, we need to call these profound statements "Nazim's" or "Zims"

    If no one wants to watch Floyd fight, then why is he arguably the biggest draw in the sport? And the last time I checked, 3 of Hopkins' last 4 opponents were coming up 2 weight classes. He failed to stop all 3. Richardson knows Mayweather is the truth, which makes most of he's saying irrelevant. Mayweather isn't some one dimensional fighter like many of Hopkins' recent opponents or like Margarito. Richardson knows he's going to have spend countless hrs. trying to come up with an effective gameplan.

    Hopkins is a great fighter, one of the best of this generation. However, he has been cherry picking. That's pretty obvious. He's in his 40's though, the cherry picking can be forgiven.

    You appreciate ring generalship yet consider counter punching, movement and defense to be pitty patty. You don't even know what ring generalship is with a post like that, by fight you mean stand toe to toe, ignore defense and risk getting KO'd and slammed for an hour later by recycle bins like yourself?. Unacceptable by who?, the cab driving community?. If the cab driving community's judgment mattered he wasn't going to be accepted by the ones that matter to be P4P#1.

    Tell Nard to stop fight middleweights and a shell of Roy Jones and step up and fight Bad Chad Dawson!


    Nah, I respect Naz, he's just talking ****.


    If you notice Roach basically said the same thing Naz did.

    "Floyd is scared, he's boring, he doesnt want to fight"

    Then in the next sentence

    "Floyd is amazing, going to be very tough to beat" ect ect

    Nothing to get butthurt about. Its just trash talk.
