    The Floydettes are devastating combination ball lickers when on the topic of Floyd

    LMFAO! You call that something worth talking about. Just look at how wild his swings are. Those 'combos' are only effective in that video because he's fighting low-level opposition who can't take advantage of the openings Floyd is leaving with those wild-swings. This is why Floyd doesn't throw 'combos' when he's up against top-tier opposition as it's one of his weak-points. It's one of his weak-points because as already stated, his punches are wide instead of short and compact. Plus, he's not being defensively responsible when he's throwing more than one punch by having his guard TOTALLY down.

    Floyd was a great boxer with many great attributes, but let's not pretend he had no weak-points or overrate attributes Floyd was not 'GREAT' in.

    Floyd was a GREAT pot-shotter, great counter-puncher, great at using the shoulder-roll but combination-punching was not something he was great at.

    I doubt that very much Floyd would have avoided Loma like he avoided Pac.

    Also are you a man baby?

    Fanboys who constantly suck on the balls of another man and put them on a pedastool are utterly pathetic.

    You should be ashamed and embarrased at your behaviour.

    You won't though because that would require some intelligence and self awareness both attributes you lack.





    Thanks.

    Why would Floyd at 130 avoid loma? A guy he would dwarf in the ring box circles around and beat up. Pbf is stylistic nightmare for loma.

    Well you could say the same for Pacman and he certainly avoided that like the plague.

    Floyd would have advatage with height and reach and it's a tricky one to call. I think I would have to favour Floyd who was more offensively minded at 130 but I think it would be an interesting style matchup and a good fight either way.

    No he didn't. Do you want to sit up here and act like no one was following boxing back then and doesn't know what happened? It was pac who turned down pbf back when they were in their primes in 2009 because of testing those are facts. Pac waited for pbf to get old and fought and got schooled by a shot pbf.

    You're living in an alternative reality pal.

    I remember very CLEARLY Floyd crying and pointing the finger regarding PED use. Floyd did not want that smoke also Pac was 10 times the warrior Floyd was and that's why he was a lot more popular with casual fans.

    While were at it. Why didn't Floyd fight any of the tall fighters at Welter what about Paul Williams or Anthony Margorita?

    I tell you why pal he was pissing his pants in case he lost his 0 and retired for the lions to take losses so they would be weakened on his return.

    I was watching boxing before you were born you chesse burger eating nonse.



    Thanks

    One of the few fighters at 135 that could probably last 8-9 rounds with Duran.
