Will De La Hoya's "conditions" affect the outcome?

    There should be a "Maybe" option.

        I'll keep that under advisement.

        "Maybe" isn't exactly an answer to a simple question..

        Why do you think it's a maybe?

          I doubt Floyd will get his ass kicked. He may well get KOd, but he will do good while he lasts, IF he gets stopped.

          And to be clear, about earlier posts...I never call people out about boxing just because I'm a boxer. I just am curious about people's perspectives. The greatest men in history were rarely boxers, and it is of no importance to me that a man be a good fighter. Being a good person is more worthy.

            thats true... I dont get how they can say "SMALL" when they dont know the actual size, I doubt it's going to be smaller than 18"

            I highly doubt that

              This is very simple.

              Floyd is a fine fighter and he does not need a 21' ring to box in. If it is 18-21, that is sufficient. Less than that and you might call it smaller than usual.

              And my question is: Have you fought in a 21' ring? What sizes have you fought in?
              The ring in my gym is 21'. We have a smaller, 18' inch ring too. They are much different looking size-wise.

                If it is smaller than 18, then that is very significant. If it is between 18-20, I don't see Floyd having a problem...it could make the difference in the fight, but if Floyd DOES get KOd, how do you really know if it would not have happened if the ring was bigger?

                Either way, it's a difficult question.

                I just hope for a good fight.

                  You must be some kinda ass-kicker to fight in an 18 inch ring.

                  Hot damn.

                    De La Hoya has stipulated ring size.

                    Do you think he's going to make it bigger?...

                      I don't think Floyd is worried about all that...I'm sure he trains for "conditions" like those...Floyd WILL adjust to any ring size...
