Floyd is a prime example of a "great fighter"

BINGO:yep

 

:good

 

yessir

 

Floyd is the best and he will continue to show that he is when he defeats Manny Paquiao next year. Too much speed and awesome defense.:yep

 

great post by thread starters.

 

He epitomizes the word "professional". He does his job and takes his training seriously. If his attitude outside the ring was different, people wouldn't react against him.

 

Floyds ring intelligence is what enables him to dismantle his opponents. He is able to outhink them and adapt and his opponent cant keep up. This is why its gud for manny to have a gud trainer like roach in his corner v=but i dont think even that will be enough.

 

People don't give two shits about his style. People don't like Floyd because he claims to be one of the greatest of all time when he hasn't even fought the greatest in his own division.

His fans have to be the most ******ed in the history of sports. It would be like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claiming to be the greatest ever because they're undefeated against NCAA teams.

 

Did you hear the news? Floyd's fighting Pacquiao next who is not only ranked number one in his division... but in all of boxing (by those who don't want to acknowledge Floyd as tops on the technicality of his retirement).

 

The Mayweathers did not invent defensive precision in boxing safely. PBF just has a unique expression of defensive boxing mastery & that is what makes his style.

I think that to see a truly great fighter you need to look at Pac, a guy who has other elite fighters going "Damn, I can't believe he was able to do that". That's what a great fighter is all about. Even Roger Mayweather thought it was insane for Pac to fight Cotto but Pac still whooped Cotto's ass. Floyd is a smart fighter who does what it takes to win but Hopkins established that trend way before Floyd. Other fighters see Floyd having success and think "I can do that **** too" but when they see Pac they just recognize that he does the type of things in the ring noone will be able to do for many years to come.

thats one of the things that shows what a graet fighter he is.

 

Floyd is the new kind of boxer who talks about being great and never fighting great fighters.

 

I don't understand this, you mean a 44 yr old Hopkins following 32 yr old Floyd's example in boxing?:huh
