    Void is afraid of Pac, and for good reason. Mosely should fight Void like Pac would have done if Void had not ran from him and refused to fight.

    Posting a picture of the "most elite" welterweight punching a junior welterweight doesn't help your argument.

    Floyd has no weakness. he can run all night without getting tired. he can box 100 rounds a day. one time, floyd let tyson hit him in the head 10 times but floyd was still standing. you guys are fools thinking floyd has a weakness. he can ko shane in one punch.

    Floyd's weakness is lack of punch output...

    Floyd makes them miss on the insight but does not counter back, too defensive minded especially against guys who can punch. A guy like Toney stayed on the ropes but used to come back.Anyway, floyd tries to copy Toney on the insight but he ain't that good on the insight.

    he has no heart or fighting spirit.. if the fights becomes complicated to him.. he wont be able to go to war and change tactics all he knows is to stick and move that's it

    Basically he is not a risk-taker and as such, he's always depending on the sucess of the guy who goes at it. It has worked thus far because they come in punching in bunches inaccurately, they ran out of wind or they come head in first, looking at the floor, over-confident that they will catch him with power, something in that area... Then, he's not really a strong welterweight like Pernell wasn't, they are great athletes and they are super-skilled but they are disadvantaged in body strength and that will tell sooner or later.

    I agree with you on workrate.
    Disagree on being defensive minded, thats going back to workrate in a sense.
    Disagree on power. I think he has power when he wants to but it cautious because of his weak hands.
    Heart? Definitely disagree.

    So the ****ing what. :-(

    Judah was the favorite against Baldomir right?

    And no, he wouldn't have been an overwhelming favorite against Paul Wlliams.

    It's guys like you that allow fighters like Floyd to win these fantasy fights and be "great", all in your collective consciousness and avoid them in real bouts.

    Pacquiao and Roach will exploit those weaknesses you mentioned.

    - work rate low? who cares when he lands 60% of his punches. . . this is not a weakness

    -castillo fight was probably the last I saw him try to fight on the inside, he won't do what he did in the first Castillo fight, you remember what happened in the rematch

    -ill give you that he doesnt have a whole lot of power, his power is probably under-rated but again, he has pin-point accuracy which causes all his opponents to become very stiff and demotivated

    -true about level of opposition but i think he has heart n i think were gonna see floyd school the best welter weight in the division
