    I contend that you never read my other posts explaining my reasons, *****.

    Floyd makes subtle adjustments, yes, but in general he fights the same way. He never changes style :deal

    Void is the 154 champion, so he should fight Martinez at 154, or Golovkin, but I read that Void will fight Khan?!

    here is floyd fighting toe to toe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxIX_cnCK4U

    as you can see he has no problem doing so, but at 147 he no-longer has the hand speed he had at 130, 135 and 140.
    Floyd is an excellent inside fighter but like any other fighter he does sustain damage, and now has abandoned that style to last longer in the sport.

    FMJ fights toe to toe, just not blow for blow.

    Why do you think people often refer to his defensive style as fighting in a phone booth?

    Zab is not one of the fastest. I will admit Zab is pretty quick, but guys like Oscar, Mosley, Sugar had more explosive torque when they decided to pull the trigger and overall were faster. Mosley and Oscar at lightweight to 147 were fukin lightning fast. The oscar vs mosley 1st fight looked like when 2 actual feline cats go at it! If you ever seen a real cat fight, (don't mean bitches) but cats are fukin fast as fuk.

    Clearly you don't know what your talking about .. Burton was a very ruff, very tuff fighter , despite his record. He brutal both in fight as well as sparring, but his clowning around in training and in fights caused him lose decisions, but he was anything but feather fisted.

    Less technical fighter with far less tools are the fighter that go toe to toe because the LACK the skill to do anything else.

    Just ask Mayweather to go out there & let Forrest take clean right hands ala Mayorga

    In Boxing, The Goal is to win, the Mayweather way or the Marciano way
