    Who are these so-called speedsters Floyd didn't fight? I can't think of anyone other than Khan and Pac.

    The idea that "speed" alone is an attribute which can win fights, let alone at elite level, is beyond laughable too.

    Can anyone name me a fight in which the weaker fighter in all areas bar speed won?

    Floyd is lucky Rigondeaux isn't a welterweight.

    It's ridiculous how boxing fans think speed alone is all it takes to be great. It's amazing how gullible boxing fans are.

    People say Floyd only fights guys slower than him, as if Floyd isn't faster than the vast majority of fighters.

    Roy Jones had literally NO fundamentals yet relied on speed. I remember him being a MW who moved up to HW and won a title...

    And Roy got a paper trinket by beating one of the worst HW titleholders ever in John Ruiz. People were calling him the P4P GOAT after that, which again shows how gullible boxing fans are.

    Which he was.

    Nobody did what he did in 109 years. It'll be another 109 till it happens as well.

    @ Cereal - Roy is renowned for his lack of fundamentals.

    No he wasn't. Roy isn't even top 10 P4P all time.

    I want to see Floyd against a fast southpaw ( PAC ) or a if not then at least someone very fast ( khan )

    Why?

    Because for me they ate more interesting fights than against plodders or guys he already easily beat

    If he isn't gonna take a new intriguing challenge then as a boxing fan I have little interest

    I long for the day Floyd takes on a Judah type challenge again

    At the time it was an interesting fight, and Floyd handled it well so credit to him

    But how long ago was that ? Been too many boring no hope opponents since then

    Let me ask you ? Who do actually want him to fight next ? A quick guy ? A quick southpaw ? A skilful guy ? Or maidana 3 or cotto 2 ?

    It's not about boxing fans picking opponents cause they think they can beat Floyd, it's about wanting interesting match ups, too many of you agenda driven kids think everyone else has an agenda, it's laughable

    Actually the secret to beat Khan, you got to be slow. If Floyd fights super slow like Danny, Floyd will knock him out.
