    Yeah he is one of the people who turned me from neutral to hatred.

    SRR was an amazing athlete. I think he could have been as good or better had he trained using today's technical know how. However he is a product of his time. He was great for that era, but technically a bit crude for today.

    Now crude does NOT mean ineffective, but we will never know.

    Abraham got outboxed. He did not lose because of his reach, he lost because he just isn't good enough to beat Froch. Yes Mayweather can go to 175, physically nothing stops him. He would be small and would have to pick his fights wisely but that does not mean he couldn't win a title.

    Look at Abraham, when he knocked out Taylor nobody was saying he was too small. When he knocked out Miranda nobody said he was too small. Mayweather could definitely beat some of those guys if he were to keep his speed and if he had the chin.

    How the hell does the herky jerky mostly brawling style of Shane Mosley remind you of the smooth as butter style, long jab and viper right hand of Ray Robinson? I don't get it.

    Is this a Christmas hangover or something?

    Mayweather is 5 8 and walks around at 160.

    The small looking AA is 5 10 and walks around at 190.

    Mayweather had a few of the Olympians in his gym last year , and the middleweight champion Degale who at the time was 6 - 0 asked to spar with Mayweather, Mayweather declined and said the size difference was too much.

    Mayweather is 33 and has no intentions of putting on close to 20% mass to get to a ridiculous 175, and there are plenty of things physically stopping him.

    Do you actually know anything about training and muscle gain??

    I think not.

    I just call it how it is. Shane looked shot in that fight., which is now the general consensus among everybody. But it was an ok performance from Floyd, he's definitely looked better.

    Mayweather has a 72" reach and far better offensive and defensive skills.

    If Abraham can beat people so can Mayweather given his chin allows.

    When did I say Floyd isn't a pure boxer? He was definitely a pure boxer down in the lighter weights. He's more of a potshot artist now. I consider them two different things. We just disagree about how good Floyd really is.

    Giving a ***** facts, and expecting that to make a difference, is like pissing in the ocean and expecting to see the water rise!

    To a *****, a man like SRL who can knock out a world class fighter with a left hook going backwards is an arm puncher :lol:

    bald head slick is probably the worst ***** on this board. He's just ******ed with it, 10x more than any ******* at their worst.
