    That's why they call him the ducker. Can't even man up and fight a Gradovich or a Nietes or a Yamanaka.

    John L. Sullivan totes would have accepted your offer... As would have any real man like Roy Jones Jr, Naseem Hamed, or Primo Carnera.

    My moustache is better than sullivan's :deal

    You cannot fight EVERY single guy that calls you out, simple as that. I dont understand all the "ducking tales" that people make up all the time. Most of the time the so called "ducking" is a matter of money, nothing else, they are pro-fighters, that's more or less normal, they want to make money and give a good life to their families.

    Any one of those three guys would be 50/50 against Floyd. don't be fooled, he's old. He hasn't fought a good young guy since Canelo for a reason.

    Keith Thurman looked like a joke. He should consider fighting Algeri next. He has 0 business in a ring with floyd mayweather. I'd rather see Tim Bradley fight Mayweather than Thurman. Rios would be another good opponent for Thurman. Thurman is severely overrated.

    I think he was at his peak, age doesn't matter.

    Luis hurts a lot of people in the ring, he is a **** finisher. Floyd is clearly heads above everyone and would be considered a favorite against anyone.

    That was such a prone body shot Thurman took, I'm shocked he didn't go down or take a knee or something. All praises to him for shaking it off and getting back to work the next 2 rounds after that. Fairly clear, you're going to have to detach Thurman from his senses to stop him.

    That's true if you ignore the first 6 rounds or so where he looked excellent.

    I think Brook coming out of that and showing the conditioning that he has post Jones I shows that it was a great learning fight.

    Time will tell I suppose.

    Just red in Bulgarian newspaper that Serafim Todorov is in camp preparing to school Floyd's azz once again. They are going to issue an official challenge to Floyd for his last fight. http://corner.dir.bg/news.php?id=19517578
