    Floyd Looks His Best Against The Best Competition

    He has done it in all his big fights, how he conserved energy against Hatton was a brilliant gameplan, he took away Oscar's jab with right hands. Its funny when some fighters are hurt or injured people admit it, but why doesnt anyone acknowledge that Floyd beat Castillo in the first fight with and injured rotator cuff and cracked ribs. People just hate the guy, Castillo was able to get close to Floyd in the first fight because of Floyd's injured left arm, look at the fight you hardly see Floyd use the jab or try and keep Castillo off, he said in the second round his shoulder hurts and after HBO aired it, after the fight Floyd said he would never mention another injury because he realized it can be aired and possibly indicated to his opponent somehow. Every big fight Floyd has been in he has passed the test with flying colors, Zab looked in control for the first four rounds, Floyd adjusted and shut him out thereafter, just giving props where props are due, the same can be said about some othere fighters also.

    Floyd just executes a12 round game plan. He doesnt go out and try to KO you early. If it comes OK, if not then he will out smart you and break you down little by little. Then they slow down and executes late. It's what he does. Dont hate.

      I see absolutely nothing wrong with that strategy. Why try and KO somehow if its not there as you so eloquently put it, in sports you take what the defense gives you. Floyd debuted at 19, I dont think people realize that at 17 Floyd was still fighting at 116 lbs, and to have grabbed a light middleweight title, says alot.

            so then why dont you acknowledge that Margarito injured his wrist and had an ankle injury going into the Clottey fight? You're told time and time yet you keep ignoring the facts. you are the epitome of hypocrisy.
