35 years old. 1 year out. 3 Months in Prison. Floyd deserves a tune up - Page 2

FeFist

If the fight wasn't on PPV I could understand your point but it is going to be marketed as a big fight which is inexcusable. If a fighter needs to take a tune up I'd prefer they'd be honest about it but I suppose that's the sh*t people should expect as it is their profession, up to the fans not to buy into it.

Floyd always needs a helping hand dont he? Its of his own choosing to fight so littlle, so he isnt shop worn or anything. My advice is to get in shape for the fight and just fight and stop the excuses.

BH dont fight often as well but never talks about warm up fights. He just gets into as good as shape a 47 year old can possibly get in.

What would be the purpose of a warm up fight exactly, so that he can guarantee he keeps his zero.? Truly great fighters fight when they arent 100% but Floyd is so calculated and methodical. He is actually manufactured.

What if he decides to fight the other guys, Gurrero and Alvarez, next, giving them both time to further hone their skills and learn new tricks?

After all, not very many think they could beat Floyd either. Just give him another tough fight.

So you mean to tell me someone who was locked up for 3 months dont need a tune up?

Alexander isn't even a tune up.

He didn't need a tune up for Marquez, Mosley or Cotto who were all 10x the threat and draw

He's not exactly a tomato can with 9 losses either. Kid's young.

If Alvarez and Guerrero appear on the undercard of that bout, it could set up a mega -match with either of those later in the year.

I agree but don't put it on ppv and ask people to spend their money on this.

Guerrero is a ****ing tune up. He'd be like -1000 against him.
