    probably, yes. Although it really depends on a lot of factors.

    I've been saying it from the very beginning. He'll lose to either Pac OR Floyd, and badly.

    Ali isn't hated because he stood for what he believed in. He wasn't just a boxer. Also if you think people didn't hate Ali when he was fighting then you need to check again. People hated Ali for the same reason you like him. He said he was going to whip someones ass and he did it. For some reason, people don't like hearing **** like that. They want you to say, "O this will be the toughest fight of my career" or praise the other fighter.

    I still think he would though. I never factored in that he always talks about how much money he has. People don't like when other people talk ****. It doesn't matter if the fighter does back it up. That fighter would be looked at as the villain. No one likes a villain :lol:

    Floyd's a G.
    Fighting the lineal champ 2 divisons higher than you is considered a cherry pick because he's so good :thumbsup

    Arrr the American disease! Giving Celebrities a pass to be a piece of **** because they are a celebrity. It would make a great reality show wouldn't it?" Being bought up by the Mayweathers "

    I don't like Hopkins, i think he's a **** but respect him as a fighter because he takes challenges and win. I thought he was going to get kill by Pavlick and Pascal but he beats them and I respect him for that :lol:. Now he's taking on Dawson and win or lose I'll respect him more. I still think he's a **** though :lol:.

    I don't hate or dislike Floyd.

    I just feel robbed of watching him vs Cotto and Margarito.

    I'm sure he would have won but come on dude.

    He was number 1 P4P for 3 years until he retired.

    My ass. When Mosley called out Floyd after the Marquez fight people said Floyd was afraid of Mosley and would never fight him. During the build up to the Oscar fight everyone(where I live) were saying Floyd was going to lose. They said he was going to lose because he talks to much **** and usually that will blow up in your face. When he fought Marquez people thought he was going to give Floyd problems because he fought Manny tough. Even Bert Sugar said some dumb **** about it being a toss up. Freddie Roach said the fight was going to be tough. Hell there were people on Youtube saying the same thing. Manny Steward said Floyd would have problems with Baldomir and the fight wasn't easy. Brain Kenny grilled Floyd because be fought Judah instead of fighting the champ Baldomir. Floyd doesn't get that much credit for the Hatton fight. He wasn't in his weight class. I can understand why people don't like the Ortiz win.

    Actually pretty good discussion going on here.


    Let's say...

    Senior got sent to prison but Roach trained him.

    Would we have younger Floyd in welterweight right now?

    Banging and schooling.

    ?

    I firmly believe that the Mayweathers were big fans of this man ..Watch the shoulder rolls and the elbows on this hall of famer :

    Maybe, I don't think Roach would be a good fit with Floyd. At the lower weights maybe, but not at WW.

    The only one I could see being good with Floyd is Nazim

    Good call. Floyd is all about swimming without getting wet, and Nazim would have given him the confidence to look for the tough guys at ww the way he did at lw.
