I miss Floyd does anybody out there relate.

Honestly the biggest intrigue I find is with the up and comers... once a dude's established his level and peaked I tend to start losing a bit of interest.

Sometimes I miss that really big fight feeling As big as AJ, Canelo are, it’s just not the same as Mayweather on HBO/showtime, even thought you knew it wasn’t going to be a great fight, it was still a different kind of big fight excitement that others don’t generate That would be it. Most of my friends are not really fight fans but for a Mayweather fight it was easy to get everyone together for a fight party.

Appreciate his talent but GOOD RIDDANCE

Hes was too good for this era.

you miss watching one of the best boxers ever? can't possibly imagine anybody else on a boxing forum feels the same way :lol1:

Not really miss him, but I definitely appreciate his talent. I don't think he truly captured people emotionally to make them miss him like I think Pacquiao will be missed.

I miss Floyd not having the chance to show he was better than people thought he was. That he didn't fight somebody they didn't think he could beat and prove people wrong. LIke at 160 against GGG, even at a CW of 157 if necessary. I think FLoyd missed a great opportunity. Or beat Nelo at 160 now. Or even a couple of years ago. Fair point, after Corrales in 01, he was never an underdog in a fight again I think. Partly because he was so talented and partly because of great matchmaking. It should’ve been Pacquiao in 09/10. I always thought Floyd would’ve beaten him but A LOT of people would’ve favoured Pac around then.

Not really, he was a great fighter so if he was still active and in his prime it would be interesting too see how he’d deal with Crawford, Spence, Porter etc. But I don’t miss the media circus. There’s only so many time you can hear the same type of scripted promos before they become boring and meaningless.

I don't miss Floyd.

Def don't want him to comeback but I miss having a unbeatable villain to root against. Not in the slightest. And to the bolded. Lmfao.

Do I miss Floyd, no. Do I miss his talent, absolutely. I would love to see that level of talent and beyond as much as possible.

He had his time, and people will determine what his career meant to them individually. The best thing for his legacy now, would be to teach a youngster all he knows about the sport. So as the fight game goes forward, it can continue to have a piece of him in it. He scaled the mountain of his choosing, but can he now help someone else get to the same peak? There is a different form of greatness in doing so. The passing of knowledge allows things to overcome the destructive nature of time.

Let Floyd die in peace, he never asked for this attention.

Not really. He is a legend though. Don't want to see him come back, he did more than enough. Make room for the new talent. Def don't want him to comeback but I miss having a unbeatable villain to root against.

I never really was overly for or against Floyd so I can't really relate to the missing him for that reason part...but yeah I do hate how all these boxers now want to be him, and try to really protect their 0...it sucks..could blame Floyd for that in a way...can't hate on Floyd though, he made a ton of money and in fight sports (or any endeavor really) that is a good thing to do...especially if you aren't selling your soul to do it, and I don't think he did that.

Nope not at all. Don't miss Hopkins either. Good riddance.
