    Being skilled in the art of boxing far outweighs any experience gain in a career , skills pay bills it's no coincidence Lil Floyd is at the top of the tree in the sport as he is probably the most skilful boxer of his generation .
    Sad but true .

    Too much maturity can be a bigger handicap than not enough skill.

    As demonstrated recently by Rob Calloway & Troy Weida.

    Put it this way pretty boy I would rather be young with skills than be mature without them .

    It can be tough night without 1 or the other. Maturity is a big thing but Lil floyd was mentioned before, he had a very mature development for a young boxer. Olympic pedigree, sparring over a thousand rounds easily, family of experts, long amateur career. like SRL he was able to take on experienced journey men fairly quickly
