    Yeah, no wonder Floyd has been taking such a long vacation...That way he can take his PEDS off 50 cent, and by fight time there out of his system.
    Mayweather is so right though about cleaning up the sport on drugs. He took it to a new extreme...To clean up drugs, his policy is he just take as many possible himself, so nobody else can use them. Such a great guy!
    Nah seriously though, if people don't accuse him of taking PEDS and he has bulked up that much, then they better not accuse Pac.

    Also, I don't care if he turns in to the incredible hulk. Floyd don't need to exchange punches with guys like Pac. Floyds chin isn't that proven, and as we saw with Mosley, even though he was bulked up, he was seriously hurt! Pac is smaller than Mosley, and Mosley couldn't do that to him. Pac is smaller than Floyd, and yet knocked Mosley down (a Mosley that was trying to be cautious), and Floyd couldn't knock down a gas Mosley who stood there.

    Even down to Ortiz...Floyd shouldn't try to fight toe to toe. If he would I think this fight looks like Ortiz vs Berto 2

    Am I the only one who don't see what the fuss is about Sergio in the sexyness department? (and I'm a homo)

    I think gay guys like you have a different idea of what is handsome compared to hetero men.

    He looked slower though, grandpa mosley caught floyd ****ing flush, something I'm sure wouldn't have happened earlier in floyds career. Can u imagine floyd five years ago fighting a 39 year old man who hadn't fought in 18 months? Floyd might be bigger, but it has defiantly cost him some of his speed on defense. And he didn't have his legs like he used too. He walked down an older gassed out man for the last half of the fight. Impressive because u don't really ever see floyd being the aggressor, but lets keep that in perspective. If gramps can put hands on floyd, ortiz has a shot shot to land a few, and pac is gonna touch him for sure. Too many people living in that fun fantasy land called the "past". Things change, dudes get older, and they have to adjust their style accordingly. I'm not saying floyd won't win against both pac and ortiz, I'm just saying people who expect him to win without getting his jaw tested are kidding themselves.

    I don't think Floyd is carrying that much extra muscle, Mosley is much slimmer at 147 than he was at 154 lately. compared to the size of cintron and even stocky guys like Urango and Ndou he's not that stacked, welter is a bit too big for guys like him and Pac in just terms of frame size, though they are both exceedingly successful. Floyd is a super small framed guy, I don't ever seem him being a physically imposing welter just because of that. Mosley has just had to lose muscle mass to still be at 147 at his age. The times I talked with Floyd he was fighting at 140, but he was no bigger than me in any way except maybe hip width, and I was about 128 at the time, he's small.

    no doubt he is a full fledged WW. Even against Oscar I'm sure he was closer to 155 than 150 on fight night.

    There isn't a fighter in history that doesn't get hit when they are looking to fight off the front foot. Floyd, when he turtles up and just shoulder rolls, cannot be hit cleanly. When he stands and tries to trade, he gets hit(Mosley,Corley, and Ndou)

    He's 5"8/5"9 with 72 inch arms and broad shoulders. He's a big guy and his body has filled out well.

    He's just not that big. He is probably near the smallest guy in any room unless donaire and pac are there. yeah, he's 5'8'', but its a small and slender 5'8''.

    Firstly, the black woman on the right is stunning.




    Secondly, how long ago was that?
