    Do you think it could/will happen? What type of fighter would it take for Floyd to come out of his typical "shell" defense and actually get into a dog fight?

    Round 4 of Mayweather/Corley was great. No lie.

    Mayweather-N'Dou was engaging, if a little one-sided.

    I genuinely think that the styles of PBF and Pacman would mesh to produce a thrilling fight.

    No need to. Why do this when you can hit your opponent and not get hit in return and still win?:deal If you're consistently handing out boxing lessons why change it up to please guys like you?

    His fight with Ndou was good.

    But i dont see him take enough risks to ever be involved on a FOTY.

    nobody is asking him to block punches with his face,but he could´ve taken more risks against some of the overmatched fighters he faced and make it entertaining for the viewers like Roy Jones used to do.
