Berto`s loss is an example of how Floyd would look if he fought more often.

    I remember that when Floyd was younger and fought more often,
    he did not look good against many average fighters. I remember
    an opponent from the Dominican Republic who had a terrible record
    with many loses, who faced Floyd. I never expected this fight to last 12
    rounds. Later, Floyd looked like he lost against Castillo. The more often he fought the weaker and less impressive he looked. Why do you think this happened ?

    because he moved up in weight and got older? he looked impressive vs mosley for me. The problem with floyd is that he is too inactive to get away with easier fights. People want to see him in fights that make you think damn who will win this one (pac,martinez) not a old guy or 140 boxer. If he was active he could get away with it, but floyd does look impressive, he barely gives up a round.

    :patsch what about when Floyd dominated elite competition. Also the fight you're talking about is Victorina Sosa. Watch that fight again and tell me if you noticed that Floyd stopped using his right hand in the fight. He was throwing out triple jabs and triple left hooks but no right hands :think
    Why do you think that happened? And do you think maybe that's why the fight was so sloppy

    How often against these "average fighters" did he get knocked down and lose? And let's not forget the times he fought better than "average" fighters and looked brilliant. When has Berto ever done that?

    What you're basically saying is that because Berto is fast, he reminds you of Mayweather, which tells us how much you know about boxing.

    Floyd has only fought 4 times in more than 4 years.

    **** you bro that would never happen to my boy Mayweather ****...... He knows how to take calculated retirements to avoid things like this. Berto is a noob... needs to learn from the creme de la ducky...

    hence me saying he is too inactive, but he still looked good vs mosley for 10 rounds after round 2.

    I remember that Floyd hurt his hand in a couple of fights but that is part
    of looking weak the more often he fought.

    I sayd that he looked unimpressive against many bad fighters who he was expected to ko early in the fight. If Floyd fought as often as Berto does there is a big chance that Floyd would have lost against an average fighter.
