    What is really going on with your fighter ?


    He has been fighting for over a decade and they called Mosley @ 39 one of his toughest tests ?

    How do you give a fighter so much credit based on skill sets that have not been tested against the elite warriors in their prime ?

    Getting older can't help the type of fighter he is and what has fighting Mosley and lightweight JMM proved ? He is not a perfect fighter and in the wins @ 147 all the real welters gave him problems at some point and none are as versatile as Pac or have anything remotely resembling Pacquiao's conditioning. Floyd seems to fight guys he knows can't go a full 12 rounds hard since Castillo and ODLH had very strong runs in the second half of the fights w/ PBF with little answer from Floyd.

    How can you back a WW who has not faced Manny Pacqiuao or Miguel Cotto ?
    So foreign to me it is amazing. Ignorance is bliss. keep up the good work.

    You sure do post a lot about Floyd for someone who doesn't really care him.

    Not seeing why it would be relevant what he does or what he doesn't. Unless you're just looking for a fight and something to pick at.

    He doesn't want to fight. He's tired of boxing, and always being asked to prove himself. I wish he would just say this and **** off so boxing fans could move on. But no, he also wants stay in headlines so he pops up here and there on various media outlets promising he'll come back to the flames lit

    ODLH landed plenty in that fight. He had Floyd going backwards the last few rounds and it was nearly an even fight. The greatest ever would have been much more dominant vs an older ODLH. Kinks in the armor.

    Mosley was 38 when Floyd whooped his AZZ.

    He'll be 39 when emmanuel fights him.

    Get the facts straight and don't mix it up.

    In truth, Floyd is highly overrated at WW (and some other weights) by himself and his fans. He has great skills but there are plenty at WW all time that would've beaten him. There are WW's that would've quite possibly beaten him today as well but he never fought them. He knows how to market himself well.

    Funny last year, they round up for Mosleys age, but if you dare call Mosley 40 you are making lying. :lol:
