    Makes no sense.Floyd has fought and beat everyone in the last 20 years. It's not a bad thing to develop a fighting style nobody can exploit. He has fought fighters with a vast range if styles, to say he only fights tailor made opponents is insane.

    Fighters of today's generation are bigger, stronger, faster than ever before and he has beaten them all.to discredit Floyd is to discredit a generation of boxers.

    I love how you say "this is basic stuff" in reference to Floyd's style. What exactly is your background in boxing? It's amazing how multi division champions and highly accomplished trainers that go up against Floyd can't master the "Basics" you seem to have pointed out!!

    Like playing golf. A fighter would never say my health come first, only a golf player would say that.

    Defensive counter-puncher with the ability to fight at all ranges who can throw every punch in the book with accuracy he also has a high ring IQ and ATG defense. The most complete fighter in the game today which is why he's the best.

    Its a very intelligent way of fighting

    using the shoulder to parry shots, the defense with his right hand, using the ropes well and perfect timing with economic shots.

    Casual fans will be bored but they dont appreciate the art and prefer to see people getting sparked with one punch. Ill take a 12 round masterclass over a 1st round knockout anyday

    It's the sissy style. Fair play to him, he's totally mastered it, but it isn't very hetero.
