    Very True! Floyd is without question a great boxer. And yea...he's on the level of guys who are at the top of their sport. Like Jordan, Barry or even Manny whom he shares the top spot with at the moment. Hopefully Floyd will make the fight happen this time round.

    Floyd is like Ali without his frazier.

    Same thing that ruined RJJ legacy.

    He sometimes shows you that when you thought he was a boxer and that's it,he can do other things better than his opponent such as inside fighting.I'm not sure we can really be sure of what his total ability is,considering that he is comfortable winning a boring fight amongst boos if the opponent can't do anything about it.I pay and watch because he just may be forced to show us even more and I am quite sure he has more.He used to brawl in the lower weight divisions and win the brawls!

    I think we're gonna see a more flatfooted less mobile Mayweather. He's gotten so big now that I dont think he needs to be as mobile now to win. As to why he walked Msley down. He was just physically stronger.

    Yeah but I think it's a form of challenging himself.It gets to that when you're outclassing people.

    I watch him because he's a versatile, skilled boxer. I do miss the more offensive floyd we used to see and wish he had better comp at 147, but still like watching his fights.

    Don't pay for them though, way overpriced for the product most of the time.

    There should have been an "all of the above" option. I watch bc he is the best and I want to see if someone can beat the best so I tune in. Not just one or the other at all to me.

    Technically he is the best boxer in the world today and I enjoy watching him because of that.

    Never cared to see much of his fights up until recently. Pac fans are so obsessed with hating Floyd that it actually made me pay more attention to him. I'm Asian so I hear the trash talks from my brethren every single day. I love fast-paced, all-action fights so it's hard to get used to Floyd's fighting style. But I've found a way to admire his ability to make a great technician like JMM look like an amateur fighter by landing only 12% of his shots. I don't know if I can say I'm a fan of his; I just find him interesting and terribly misunderstood. As for Floyd's villain character, I find it hilarious that people actually spend so much effort and a large chunk of their time to demean him. It's unbelievable.

    So you haven't seen him since 2002 huh. That's the last time he fought a truly worthy competitor. Since then he's dodged every legitimate challenge.
