For a guy known to be intelligent, Floyd was pretty dumb

    English isn't my first language, no, and i tought it was pretty clear :lol:

    Altought i wouldn't say it's that bad considering i had to learn it basically all by myself. English school lessons were useless, they were a joke. Anyway, i'm not talking about the letter he received from 50 cent, but the one he wrote himself to the jail director asking him to talk with his lawyer or something. My english writing skills are about as good as mayweather's ones, only that i know a full other language beside english.

    Anyway i apologize if sometimes i make some funny mistake, google translator can help only so much and in real life i never have to talk it. :D

    LOL. Do you actually believe what he said was true?
    Yo, I got a good toll bridge to sell you. :lol:

    Mayweather retains the best boxing trainers, cutmen and advisor’s in the business, and you are dumb enough to think that he pays them for nothing.:patsch

    Hate to tell you this but Floyd is a boxer not an english major, just in case it wasn't obvious. I think he dropped out of school like many fighters. There are some "book smart" fighters. I'd say Froch, Hatton ... well spoken if not eloquent at times.

    I don't buy or rather didn't buy for one second Floyds "I'm going in with no gameplan...i'll just find a way to win" No way. He went in with a gameplan. It just didn't look great once you got him in there. I think he thought he'd do a job on Maidana. Whats that saying Tyson used to say "everyone has a gameplan...till they get hit!". I think it was more a case of that.

    He didn't come to mind at the time, another good example. I think there's a pattern here.

    I understand why he doesn't go in with a game plan. You need to be prepared for anything and take the fight as it comes. React to what your opponent is does in there and adjust on the fly. It's worked well for Floyd so far.

    I also think Floyd stayed on the ropes on purpose. Seems he wanted to prove he could beat Maidana without running.

    Eubank's diction sounds funny. Especially with that slobbery lisp. :yep
