    Fool, when is the last time Floyd put pressure on anybody since Sharmba Mitchell or Zab Judah?

    He did slightly push the fight against Shane, but he's not doing it against Angulo.

    There is NO way.

    You really think that Floyd is going to risk putting pressure on a hard hitting, relentless, significant size advantage 154 lber that would be licking his lips at any opportunity at his opponent lookin to trade with him.

    You're out of your mind.

    No, he should fight Paul Williams (since Williams clearly doesn't want Martinez). That's the only fight that would really allow him restore his reputation to some degree because Williams is a guy that Pac won't go anywhere near, so if Floyd fought, and beat Williams (which I think he would), that would do a lot for him and his career right now.

    Its a real pic, it was posted in these forums earlier. Just found it funny. They were doing a press event and were fishing for some reason. I honestly have no idea why theyre hugging.

    Angulo hasn't done much to earn that pay day. & what is it a tune up for? His next fight won't be against that style of fighter.

    MAyweather said he only fights once a year or two. Does this mean all his fights from now on will all be easy tune ups?

    man its funny u say this...i had a dream a few weeks ago he fought angulo, Mayweather was embarrassing him badly, and before the end of round 9 or 10 he caught mayweather and knocked him down...i remember floyd being visibly shaken and almost out of it, and he gets up with this demonic smile and slaps angulos glove (like saying 'dang, good shot')...then i forget the rest of the dream.

    No. Too much of a risk for Floyd to fight this big, hard hitting, durable pressure fighter for a tune up.
