If I remember correctly, a few of you guys were saying somthing along the lines of, "A true champion is measured by what he can take, how he reacts, and how does he handle it." The recipe for a true Champion is what has put your personal Fav Fighters on your list. I believe this theory should apply to all fighters. Undefeated or not. If Mosley would have hit me with the kitchen sink like he did Mayweather I probably would have been KO'd lol. He kept composure and did extremely well under big pressure..Respect. I am a true fan of the sport, and this quality is very rare in fighters today and is reminiscent of the fighters of old. The Mayweather vs Mosley bout is a thing of the past, but I still see the "glass jaw" threads or the "he couldn't do that to _______" threads. Enough is enough. Let's talk boxing

Don't bother trying to reason with a hater. **** is pointless

All that relaxation is due to Mayweather having alot of trust in his team. Mayweather is much more comfortable with Roger/ Mayweather Sr. on his side. I mean, against Baldomir, Mayweather didn't look so comfortable although he dominated. Looking at his corner, Mayweather looked like he was in somebody else's house; if that makes any sense.

I think your right. His pops and roger together have lots of boxing knowledge. I don't see why people get upset when u show respect to fighters they aren't particularly fond of

Because they're not boxing fans, I alway respect anyone who gets in the ring and back up his talking, I dont have to like that particular fighter.

probably because people don't like him.....so they might hold him to a different standard. who knows?

and he definitely came back from it. i thought dude was about to get sparked, and he fought through that **** and totally outclassed a world class fighter. floyd is great. ain't no doubt about it.

I do the same, but I get red k'd lol. I was a youth boxing coach, and as much as I don't like Floyds persona he is the model for what you want a "boxer" to be. Accurate, defensive, and a thinker when the bell rings. All I ask of the kids to do is protect yourself when your fighting and throw your shots correctly. Floyd does that and is undefeated, I tip my hat to the man. Now I'm a ***** lol, I was recently called a *******. **** is crazy lol..

if it was any other fighter they'd call him a beast..but since its floyd...well you know..lol
