I don't see how dancing with the stars will hurt Floyd

yea ur right i can agree with that, but i jus believe that floyd isnt gonna do that, jus cuz it is floyd, and he knows wuts at stake, but i def get wut ur sayin. One thing I can agree with you on is Jessica Biel is fine as hell.

Smart people do dumb things. 1) Shane turned down $10 mil for a third fight with ODLH and took less than half that to fight a bigger & better Winky. 2) SRL chose to slug it out with Duran in Montreal. 3) Lennox Lewis figured that he can show up in South Africa undertrained. His trainer? Emanuel Steward. Team Mayweather, including Floyd, are very smart people. They have done GREAT for FMJ so far. They may be perfectly right. PBF may show up and dust Hatton off in 8 one-sided rounds. It MIGHT be Gatti-esque. All I'm saying is that it appears that they are taking risks (injury, performance, distraction, etc) that they don't need to take. oh no doubt this is a risk they could of easily avoided i aint disagreein with that statement.

I can respect that, but I don't agree that you should take some opponents more seriously than others. If you take that approach you get lackadaisical and begin to go through the motions and thats when you get your ass knocked out. Eventually that will catch up to you. If you take that approach you begin to lose your edge. yea ur right i can agree with that, but i jus believe that floyd isnt gonna do that, jus cuz it is floyd, and he knows wuts at stake, but i def get wut ur sayin.

aright man, i am missing ur point, and u r missing mine, and i aint dios dominicano, so i have my own thoughts and opinions. i aint missin ur point, i jus dont agree with it, is that ok? i got no beef with u man we can have conflicting view points its all good. floyd aint the type of guy that is not gonna focus on his opponents. some opponents jus deserve more focus than others, and IN MY OPINION hatton is one of the fighters that doesnt deserve all of floyd's attention, and i'm guessing mayweather and his camp agree with me? is me, or floyds camp 100% right? of course not, but if they think it can be done, then it can be done, and if it cant, then they fucked up majorly and ruined floyds legacy. do u think mayweather wants his legacy ruined? see man we jus got different views on it so dont say i got tunnel vision jus cuz my thoughts are different than urs, i hear wut ur sayin and i can respect ur views, and they make perfect sense, thats jus not what i think, so in that way i cannot agree with u. ya feel?

Once again your missing the point and I am not gonna waste my time with someone who has tunnel vision. For the last time, this has nothing to do with his training and weather he will be in shape or not. This about his mind set and focus going into the fight. He could fight Joe Blow and if your not focused anyone can lose, but as I said I am not gonna waste my time with someone who has tunnel vision. You need to take a lesson from Dio Domincano and learn to be able to be an objective Floyd fan. He's a huge Floyd fan but he's not ignorant enough to not know how this could negatively affect him. aright man, i am missing ur point, and u r missing mine, and i aint dios dominicano, so i have my own thoughts and opinions. i aint missin ur point, i jus dont agree with it, is that ok? i got no beef with u man we can have conflicting view points its all good. floyd aint the type of guy that is not gonna focus on his opponents. some opponents jus deserve more focus than others, and IN MY OPINION hatton is one of the fighters that doesnt deserve all of floyd's attention, and i'm guessing mayweather and his camp agree with me? is me, or floyds camp 100% right? of course not, but if they think it can be done, then it can be done, and if it cant, then they fucked up majorly and ruined floyds legacy. do u think mayweather wants his legacy ruined? see man we jus got different views on it so dont say i got tunnel vision jus cuz my thoughts are different than urs, i hear wut ur sayin and i can respect ur views, and they make perfect sense, thats jus not what i think, so in that way i cannot agree with u. ya feel?

well then, so be it... maybe i'm incorrect, but floyd and his camp are pretty smart, and if he's doing the show, they know what they are doing, and i'm not ignorant for saying hatton is miniscule, IMO, compared to floyd, he is. i am a huge floyd fan, so that is wut i think, its not ignorant, its opinion, and urs happens to be different. this proves hatton is not a threat to floyd. if he wants to do the show, who cares, if he says it wont affect his training, it wont affect his training, how the hell do u know if it will or not. he'll beat hatton to a pulp with the show or without the show! oh and to answer ur first sentence... i do get it, maybe u dont??

Emmit Smith did it, and that basketball player. I guess it's fun, plus the media attention is going to give his fight with Hatton free media attention. I am sure he is going to talk smack about Hatton there. I hate PBF, but I actually want him to win this thing, it's will prove that fighters aren't stiff flukes

Wait. Have you ever seen the jumps and spins, etc that these people do?? My ex-gf was a dancer. That stuff is demanding and they get nagging injuries, etc. It's hard on the body. I'm not saying that PBF is gonna be flying off some stage and twisting his ankle. But at almost 31 years old, and coming off fighting bigger men, he needs to be preserving his body for a Hatton/Cotto/Williams run. PBF should have done the Mayweather reality show instead. William Morris was trying to negotiate a reality show for him. They talked to HBO, and other networks. well, then.... maybe i am being ignorant then. its jus somehow i dont see a smart succesfull fighter like floyd jeopardizing losing a fight, which is why i am not extremely concerned. i'm sorry for sounding ignorant and disrespectful, but hatton aint on the level of mayweather no matter how hard he trains. if floyd loses, then i will eat my words and look like a damn fool, but until then, i am not gonna lose sleep over it, and u shouldnt either...

Remember this is not a live show, it's already taped ( I think), which means the show is already over so he's back to training

You just don't get it do you. This has nothing to do with his training. It is about his mindset and it is obvious that he is not 100 % focused on the task at hand. Your stupid if you think that Hatton is miniscule that is just ignorance. If he takes him lightly your boy could end up with a 1 in the loss column. Everyone can be beaten, especially if they are not focused. well then, so be it... maybe i'm incorrect, but floyd and his camp are pretty smart, and if he's doing the show, they know what they are doing, and i'm not ignorant for saying hatton is miniscule, IMO, compared to floyd, he is. i am a huge floyd fan, so that is wut i think, its not ignorant, its opinion, and urs happens to be different. this proves hatton is not a threat to floyd. if he wants to do the show, who cares, if he says it wont affect his training, it wont affect his training, how the hell do u know if it will or not. he'll beat hatton to a pulp with the show or without the show! oh and to answer ur first sentence... i do get it, maybe u dont??

Speaking from experiance, those dances are very difficult. And they require focus and energy. I have the work out video(actually wifey does) but we did them this past tuesday and I woke up beat.

How many athletes don't? :duh: vernon forrest, miguel cotto, winky wright, etc.... they just want 2 get paid for fighting.... Floyd wants to be FAMOUS and will make a fool of himself in his atttempt to gain mass notoriety

I remember one of the training posters (might have been Fraidy) explaining the comparisons with ball room dancing and boxing, and how it helped him out a lot. So there ya go, a first hand account. Now I agree with it being a distraction, but then again isn't Floyd a big fan of strip clubs and partying anyway?

I'm a Floyd supporter. And I agree with you. Floyd built his entire career and his success on a single-minded focus on boxing. This timing is all wrong. Major distractions. It's good to see that there is a Floyd fan that is able to objective when it comes to him, not many are. I can completely respect that. Your right the timing is all wrong and if I was a Floyd fan I would be concerned.

Do we know yet exactly when the show & its commitments run from/to? This could definitely affect his performance, but I suspect (guess) it will only overlap with the beginning of training camp in which case it shouldn't be too bad.

even if it doesnt help him, it wont hurt him, and thats all that matters. his footwork is already superior to hattons, as is his balance, and handspeed, and skill, so how is adding a different type of WORKOUT going to hurt him in the ring. he can do the show and still train his ass off. it aint like he has a job to go to in the morning. yea the show is demanding, and mayweather is one of the best athletes in the world, so i have a sneaky suspicion he'll be just fine... know why he didnt do any additional thing but train in his other huge fights?? cuz those fighters were threats (sort of), and he wanted to put his all in the fight, hatton is a miniscule threat to mayweather. sorry if hatton fans feel like mayweather doing this show is so bad, but it aint. maybe ur upset cuz its a slap in the face of hatton for mayweather to do a tv show while training for the "biggest challenge of his career" (lol), but it is what it is people, if hatton was a world class elite, mayweather would be dancing with his sparring partners, not with the stars, so it doesnt pose bad on floyd, it poses bad on ricky.... sorry y'all.....

He'll probably annoy the fuck out of his partner, and she'll walk out on him thus DQing him LOL, I can see it now.

Exactly. THANK YOU!!! People act like all Floyd has to do is go to the dance studio and dance/train. There are launch parties, media events, rehearsals, production meetings, agent/manager meetings, photo shoots, etc. This is a primetime television show...with all the responsibilities associated with a major TV programme. Don't mean to get off the subject but NICE AVTAR!!! Who is that?

Na it won't help him, your body is in a different position/balance. But hey I don't give a fuck about it.
