    Floyd is worse than ever; he's unbelievably fake and tries SO hard to build up a completely false persona, he's absolutely obsessed with himself, and he acts and talks like a 9 year old.

    He whines and moans about how great he is, but he just doesn't seem to gt the fact that people hate him cause he's an utter tool. It's not that we, mere mortals, don't "appreciate" him, its the fact that he's a an infantile prima donna.

    i love Nazim- the man is so interesting- the way he talks- he really is a great trainer. i hope shane has enough left to take own floyd. the more floyd talks ****- the more he doubts himself i think- whereas shane is almost giddy- he cant wait to get in there. cant wait.

    i do prefer 360 nowadays- i m finding 24/7 a bit too heavily over edited these days- i like how 360 just lets the camera sit on the people- and we watch them jut talk, train whatever for a few minutes. characters like this dont need super editing and music and voiceovers and so on.

    FFS they are looking for angles to sell this ****, Floyd is trying exxtra hard to be the rich annoying ****, Mosley is suddenly Rocky Balboa, they even put the damn Rocky music on

    They've done a **** job though, why not introduce the newbie fans to all the great things Mosley has done, how its 2 of the best in the sport etc They could have put Mosleys ex on too

    The Nazim stroke story was a sad yet inspiring aspect of the show though, that was insightful

    agree with you here. they should spent 1 half introducing history of shane and flloyd and what they have acheived so far.... how the fight could've ahppened whe shane was 35-0.... when roger and brol nazim get more airtime it will get better.

    It was ****.

    24/7 has become too predictable and too boring,its basically the same **** over and over again with a couple of exceptions in between.

    A single countdown would be much better.

    For you maybe but not for the casual fan who is taken an interest. They dont make the show for hardcore fans.

    Floyd's overall goofiness made me laugh.

    Sometimes, he's unintentionally funny.

    There's something goofy and childish about his on cam "bad guy" persona.

    It was an OK episode.

    Me too.

    It's definitely a put-on.

    Floyd turned the knob to 11 for this 24/7. He might actually be worried for this fight.

    It was ok. Like someone said they could have showed more on Shane and his career and how tough an opponent he is for Floyd to show the casual fan,since it's his first 24/7. And they focused way too much on Shane's PED use without actually letting someone defend what happened.

    I really liked Nazim trying to explain how Shane doesn't even realize his own status in the boxing community. Obviously shane still feels he has to establish himself as a top fighter, which is good news, because if he realized his legacy already he might slow down.

    it is hard to tell to be honest, maybe there is a slight difference from when he spoke 10 years ago versus now. Do you have any footage of when he started boxing at 8 years old. That will help us decide.

    I can say one thing, he reflexes seem to be the same.

    hardcore fans appreciated everything and all, that is what makes them hardcore. this is boring for the casual fan.
