    Its all good, I've been guilty myself until I realise how misleading it can to do that. I like to challenge my readers with more then "who is the hardest puncher" or "who has the fastest hand" etc. I will force them to think or they can simply hate me for doing so by cursing at me:D.

    Back to Floyd, as much as I hate to admit you're probably right. H probably is likely end up returning if he should retire undefeated once again. He call's himself the greatest fighter ever (which I don't have a problem with) and with those claims he is surely to many fighters calling him out especially young hungry fighter and on one fateful night they're youth will prove to be to much of a challenge for him because he is past his prime still trying to live in the spotlight. In the end I hope he proves me wrong.

    Floyd isn't past his prime though, but I do agree if he loses it will be mainly his own fault. He will take someone lightly and he'll get caught, his talk of retirement after his last fight doesn't bode well with me, as it means he is already looking past Hatton somewhat.

    I question his hunger to goto war if he has too, but I still think an unfocused Floyd will be able to be Hatton.

    My thread is B.S. to you might actually have to use your brain and think. All you have to do to have yours questions answer is go back and read what the topic is about and if you have any questions then I'll be happy to answer them. I don't care if you agree or disagree just READ first.

    I know floyd isn't past his prime, I was referring to if he fights past his prime then he will likely lose because of other factors. Just read my post and it will explain how i came to the theory of his possible demise. As far as Hatton Floyd will defeat him, Cotto, and any of those other fighters at 147 although if he fought Paul williams I'd have to go with him not necessarily because I think he can beat Floyd but thats another story.

    Apparently, some should learn basic grammar before attempting.

    I simply believe that Floyd will lose somewhere in the near future cause his fight plan is known to full extent and he is not getting better by the day ( reached full potential). Once, I felt that Floyd was tentative and didn't step in with his punches but that was just an impression that was proven wrong, now I just think that a loss will ease down the pressure and make him fight hungrier. Everybody's 0 must go so why would it be any different with Floyd Mayweather? Defeat is always looking around in the corners, in the corridors of one's castle, in the deer paths of the forrest or in a more tangled forrest, inside your own mind - once you get that off you, days can only get better, that's how I think. Hatton is not the man to do it cause Floyd's handlers were smart enough to share that pressure with the Brit, otherwise, this event wouldn't be called exactly "Undefeated"...

    Thats what I'm talking about a well thought out response. I appreciate it.
    Now as to everyones 0 has to go. Why is that and who decided that? Marciano's 0 didn't go? Before the floodgates open I know that they're are other factors that may have played into that, but you get my point.I do believe that modern fighters can retire undefeated and taken on tough challenges. I believe Mayweather is different because he's a special fighter and I ackwoledge that. I was stating that his 0 will probably go because he craves the spotlight and will probably linger past his prime and lose.

    I liked your analogy "Defeat is always looking around in the corners, in the corridors of one's castle, in the deer paths of the forrest or in a more tangled forrest, inside your own mind - once you get that off you, days can only get better" This isn't totally true. Roy Jones' first lost sent him into a downward spiral. His first lost without controversy I should say.

    well eastsideboxing community I must go and live life, but I had lots of fun with this topic and hate to leave it unfinished. Take care until the next time, I come up with a topic that will somewhat stimulate your mind whether its cause to to think good, bad, or indifferent thoughts about me.

    That's a long lasting sayin in boxing, used by Jeff Ryan very recently and concerning Floyd Mayweather Jr. I personally think that that is a natural process in prize fighters' careers and not to be understood as an omen of some imminent disaster ( like the Ring drammatically puts it - Dancing with Disaster), anything other than that is abnormal. Mayweather is the best fighter out there but he's not abnormal so he'll probably lose, nothing to do with his legacy or his place in history - he was P4P best, wasn't he, so what's the big problem? Life goes on...

    Jones was already into a spiral slowly downwards to Earth when he was halfway into outer space, Tarver n Johnson just provided the concussive blasts that made him get back into full wakefulness, descending those two hundred and forty seven steps of the spiral staircase of defeat, sending the sandcastles to nothingness grains from which they came from. Oh and btw, his first loss without controversy should have come in the previous fight, against the same man he would actually lose to ( again), that most hated man in boxing, Antonio Tarver, lost 3 out of 3 against him in fact.

    Its not impressive the way he beat him, by running away in the early rounds and winning by controversial split decision. The biggest fight in years was also rather boring because of Floyd, Oscar was the one trying to make the fight. I was much more impressed the way Miguel Cotto beat a much superior fighter to DeLaHoya, the man who defeated him twice, sugar Shane Mosley.
