There Is A Reason Why Floyd Will Retire Undefeated

[Motofan]

Floyd (who I cant stand) will retire undefeated because

-He trains like a madman.
-He is a student of the sport.
-He has INSANE ability.
-He fights very smart (safe.)
-But most importantly, Floyd cares more about never being beat then about WHO he beats. It's always been that way, it wont change now. Money and safe fights above all.

There are two obvious reasons:

#1 The Castillo 1 Robbery

#2 Floyd wont fight legit threats anymore

He trains harder then any fighter fighting today. and he also trains above sea level year round. translation floyd's lung capacity is twice the size of his opponents. floyd has been training above seal level for 10 years, no fighter today trains like this.

oscar is going to big bear (above sea level) but it won't make much difference oscar 's lung capacity (the ability to intake air and process oxygen into energy) will never compare to floyd's since he has been fighting once a year since 2001.

cotto trains in puerto rico which is below sea level ain't no way cotto going to last 12 rounds with floyd training below sea level

so all you cotto lovers better talk to your boy because if he trains in puerto rico for a floyd fight he is going to get done badly.

Cotto trains under water???? What a moron.

Not true , recently Hatton and Oscar were legit threats , you only got to see how many people picked them to not only beat Floyd but smash him ,, Floyd has had a lot of fights against very legit opposition his whole career , I really cant believe the amount of negative **** said about Floyd in here , doesnt matter who he fights people will rag him , if only all peoples favorite fighters were held to the same standards .

I agree that Hatton and DLH were legit threats, Ive even gone so far as to say that Hatton would beat Floyd in the UK but in answer to your question about why all the negative **** about him .... plain and simple cos he is a brash arrogant **** who endears himself to no one ... yes he is a fantastic boxer ... but as a person .... no one really likes or respects him and thats why all the hate on here

Floyd very well might retire undefeated, but it has very little to do with the fact that he trains above sea level. Obviously it helps but it is not at all the reason he might never lose

Many people who didnt know boxing may have picked Oscar or Hatton, but Mayweather was the favorite in both fights.

LOL you really only follow Floyd's career if you really think ONLY floyd trains hard and above sea level.

Many fighters have trained high up in the mountains for years.

You didn't act like this during that pro-cotto thread. Your hypocrisy is sad.

C'mon though. Does anyone really actually think that just because he trains above sea level that that is the reason he is so good!? That is the most ignorant thing ever said. They're all pro athletes. Most fighters have at some point in their careers done all their training in the mountains.

If you think Floyd's stamina comes from training above sea level as well, then that also makes you ignorant and deluded. Most of Floyd's supposed amazing stamina comes from simply not doing much. He is very, very fit but he is not exactly a high output fighter. He stands and lies against the ropes a lot, throws a small amount of punches; being a counter puncher, and fights defensively.

That is not exactly the game of someone who wins fights on stamina and freak fitness alone so I don't see what the big deal is? If he fought like Jeff Fenech or something then sure, I could dig it, but he is a slow paced, defensive counter puncher. What is so amazing?

It's like saying "James Toney is the fittest mo fo around mayne! That dog went twelve hard rounds with Sam Peter, the hardest puncher in the heavies, and he didn't even get tired! Dats da **** yall!"

If he was such a freak stamina nut case then he should be throwing ten times the punches, with ten punch counter combinations coming out of his ass constantly and simply wearing fighters out. But, no, he fights like Hopkins does at 43 for gods sake! Not saying he's not brilliant. No, no, no, not at all, but some folks just go a little overboard with the worship, when he doesn't actually train any different than most other pro boxers, he just trains harder and smarter than most.
