    It's funny how Floyd is straight up avoiding and ducking king Khan. Funny and disgraceful

    He is fleet footed, he's not a fraud, when his opponents have been able to get him in the trenches he has to exchange and actually fight, which he has done very commendably, why is he a fradey-cat? He's got in the ring with more or less everybody and has never said his aims aren't to take the least punishment possible and therefore gather points and the cash... if his hands weren't so brittle (well documented) he'd go for the kill more in the later rounds. He cracks hard enough to keep much larger guys off him and even make Pacquiao tentative so he isn't a feather duster tickling anybody either.

    Also learn to separate promoting from reality and persona from person. You'll get less worked up.

    I just wish a guy like Golovkin, Canelo, heck even Cotto were the face of the sport for casuals, the world. It makes me sad to think when a casual thinks of today's boxing, they think of Mayweather. There's so much more to boxing. It's so much better than what Mayweather shows. You just have to find the real fighters! Like Rosado vs Golovkin, Bradley vs Ruslan. Blood and drama. True warriors. The ones that go in and put on big drama shows are the ones that deserve huge paydays because they're the ones who are really drawing people into a sport to say, "Hey, this is actually fun to watch."

    Of course, Pacquiao was that guy and he was great and brought great entertainment, but his time is done. Floyd needs to retire. I'm sick of bringing up boxing in convos and hearing my friends reply, "Boxing is boring." Because all that's ever truly nationalized is Floyd and his style.

    Why do you care what people think who can't even explore the many fighters Boxing has.

    I am exploring. I was watching the Wilder/Molina, Verdejo/Najera, Walters/Marraiga fights yesterday. Apart from what I post, you really don't know what I watch and pay attention to.

    YES, we do. You're an Excusequiao casual pretending to be unbiased. You've turned into an Excusequiao sourpuss. You used to be "neutral" but that is clearly not the case anymore. Whenever I see your name now I know I have to treat your post like the other casuals here.

    To be honest, I've gotten pretty sour over Mayweather and Pacquiao. I can think of either and get a scowl on my face. After Vegas, I've definitely lost a lot of respect for Floyd. Didn't realize he was that rude to people on a daily basis. I've heard great things about Roger and Jeff though, so that's good I guess. Pacquiao... Nice guy but he really disappointed me. I just want GGG to take over. It'll be soon.

    Abuffy really tries to make his posts seem unbiased and thoughtful but he REALLY fails at it.

    Manny has ruined boxing with the people he is bringing in. And all because he knocked out a Mayweather sloppy second last decade.

    Not you. You said you want the casuals to have a different face of boxing and you're friends think boxing is boring because of mayweather.

    My question was why do you care what casual fans think? If you're friend's can't be asked to explore anyone else other than mayweather I suggest you stop talking about boxing to them and find some actual boxing fan's.

    I think abuffy makes good points a lot of the time apart from the mannygate issues, I don't think her Mayweather Vegas enquiries are of any significance though. Ask the people he helps out and you'll get a ton of favourable answers. How many people do you think like Cotto who are involved periodically with him yet he is a nice guy away from the business side.

    Yeah true. But don't try and cover obv bias and make it look like a rational thought you pondered on for a while.
