    No kidding. I do remember when I thought 34 was old, though.

    I work in wholesale lending. Any real estate he bought in Vegas in the last ten years has most likely tanked. It's so bad dozens of banks won't even lend in NV.

    No, Pac has a life outside of boxing and doesn't have to worry about the IRS. Pac's gone in 2, maybe 3 years but Floyd fights as the need$ arise.

    Floyd has been FORCED to box before he could even walk. Even other successful boxers who come from boxing families didn't get that kind of tough start. I didn't even start boxing at a young age, and I still would get tired of hitting the heavy bag.

    He's been boxing ever since he was 2. He'll fight 2 more times tops or 3 if he needs a tuneup.

    I do think its better that way if you want to succeed at something, starting at a young age is a blessing sometimes, look how he ended up.

    Doubt it. He's barely fought in his 30s.

    Property everywhere has gone down, but im sure he has bought some equity linked endownments and other stocks, he realises that he cant box forever and im sure he takes the same cautions in the ring as he does outside of it.

    Floyd would have been Floyd whether he started at 2 or 10.

    What i mean is, what floyd has you cant teach it, he jut has that natural ability.

    Agreed. It's amazing how he still has the fire to be in a boxing gym everyday after 32 years of it.

    They are already preparing for it. that why he doesnt go by Pretty Boy any more. They all know damn well that in 10 years hes gonna look like Floyd Sr. and aint nothing pretty about that.

    Yeah i agree, i think he likes to play dangerous sometimes but always got himself backed up if something else fails him.
