What do you guys think. hes had alot of ights and has yet to tast canvas. So obviously it is very hard to catch him. What do you guys think will he do it.
There is a chance he could retire undefeated... but that mostly depends upon when he retires more than anything. Within a a year and a half he'll most likely fight Hatton, and assuming he wins that will be the pinnacle of his career. He will spend the rest of his years fighting decent to good competition with maybe 1 more super fight....
Granted, this is all speculation, but I suppose what I'm getting that is if there's anybody who can retire undefeated who's currently a star it would be PBF.
floyd gots to take some very good competition and no one really knows whenhis body will catch up wth him. he hurdles DLH and hatton he better think of retiring early or at least reach the 40-win plateau
He had a taste of canvas last night.
Unofficial or not, he touched the canvas.
he wasnt hurt or rocked at all...thats the point hes trying to convey
both of his kd's (on official, one unofficial) have come when his right glove touched the canvas to attempt to regian his balance.
anywas, floyd will not retire undefeated, but he will beat the best until his age catches up with him
The Dlh fight well make him lots of money but Dlh well lose badly. He might make it good early on but he always gasses out and FLoyd will win by UD. I think Margarito well stalk Floyd and miss and miss and miss, maybe land a few hard shots. Hatton is the one who can give Floyd trouble. He is relentless, he can box (thats right), and he is a pressure fighter with crazy stamina.
Peace
No, but that doesn't make him any less a fighter. If he does retire undefeated, he'll get shit for not taking on everyone. I mean, he hasn't really ducked anyone yet, but that kind of criticism is inevitable.
Anyone think Cotto and Hatton are ducking Mayweather? Cause they were both at the Gatti fight and neither one stepped up or Floyd wouldnt have had to go take the money fight against Judah.
if he retired right now, then he would retire undefeated. i can't say that he will remain undefeated for the total duration of his career.
i'd like to see mayweather challenge himself more than he has. he does have an impressive resume so far, but his fights with gatti, judah, mitchell, and bruseles i figured that he at the very least a decent chance of beating his opponents.
people mention cotto and hatton and even tszyu who is taking a break or possibly retiring. i feel that these guys would definitely present more of a challenge for pbf.
From what ive seen of him he dont. The only way anyone is gonna beat Floyd is outthink them not by throwing alot of hard shots. That will just get you 'Gatti'ed in about 6 rounds. Cotto is a thinking man with a very hard left hook to the body and that would be the only way anyone might be floyd. Wouldnt happen but it still be a good fight. From what ive seen of Margarito standing in one spot and throwing wild punches will just get him fucked up
He aint gonna lose to anyone under 154 so you can get that out of the way now. Him and Winky Wright would be an incredibly boring fight. Winky doesnt press and Mayweather isnt stupid enough to press someone with 1 punch knockout power (see. Castillo) Cotto MIGHT be that only one that can beat him because he wont quit like Judah and he hits hard. Ya cant knock out air though and that all he'd be hitting
I wouldnt even see Cotto coming close to beating Floyd, Margarito has a much better shot at it.

If Floyd moves to 154, I could see him struggling but not saying he wouldnt come through with wins to, I dont see him losing to anyone until 154. People saying Margarito and Hatton, I disagree. I dont think Hatton would come close, he could pressure as much as he wants... Floyds defense is unmatched and he is a great counter puncher. Margarito would be tougher than Hatton, but I truly feel Floyd would outbox him. That fight would be his toughest. De La Hoya would get smashed on by Floyd right now as would Sugar Shane Mosley. The only fight I see in the next few years him losing is if he fights Wright at 154.

Floyd will only fight one fight above 147 and that will he versus DLH. At 147 and below no one beats him. U can say what u want about Judah but he was at his best against PBF. ANd it was Floyds second fight at 147.
I have a lack of confidence in him at 154 if he doesn't even blow up to that after a weigh-in. If he fought a slow guy or a mediocre guy I think he'd win there but if he fought the wrong guy, he'd be in trouble. I want to see Mayweather-Mosley but besides that I want to see Floyd fight punchers. I think he should take fights with Margarito, Kostya Zoo, hell even trying to lure Trinidad at 154 would be great. He'd be too quick for all those guys but they have KO power and would provide an interesting dynamic. WInky Wright is the one fight he should not take
he will lose because when he gets old he will be small,
had he stayed at 135-140 forever, he might have retired unbeaten.
I mean can you imagine floyd when he will be past his prime, at 35 fighting an up and coming, fast, young, skilled, strong big welterweight?
he was weighing 146 by fight night: IMOthere is now way he stays unbeaten if he stays at 147
He fights good fighters but we look at it like well they are not in his class. No one is really in his class except hatton and wright and very few others. Floyds pedistal is really high and throws a shadow over most other boxers. Regardless he beats good fighters easily and will continue to do so
It really depends. If he keeps fighting losers, then yeah, sure. If he actually starts to fight the best in his weight range, then I'd say it's doubtful. He's got undeniable skill, but unfortunately he's learned how to work the boxing system to minimize his risk.
We'll see....
