yeah good question some people are pretty extreme in their dislike of Floyd I guess. Doesnt make for constructive boxing discussion but there are plenty of good posters here to make up for it.Comment

I think MWjr as great as he is/was, left alot to be desired. I, for one, miss the genious in the ring. The man was as gifted as they come and I would love to see him back in there doing what he does. Come on back Floyd, you still got business and a few truckloads of cash to handle bro.Comment

Why, so he can avoid the best challengers and keep telling us how rich he is? So he can fight on PPV and bore us to tears? Floyd was an awsome fighter at 135 and 130. Since than I haven't been impressed. Hev had a division stacked with talent and choose not to fight the best fighters. Good riddance.Comment

I really don't miss the guy at all. Some of his antics are just too much, and his mouth just puts me off. I pretty much had to mute the TV if he was fighting, or giving interviews, whatever.
Also, his style, while effective (and nobody can dispute his talent and skill), leaves fans wondering why they bothered even tuning in, much less buying the PPV. Many guys like him will never understand that. It's all about the money, not the people that are giving it to him.Why, so he can avoid the best challengers and keep telling us how rich he is?

if u think all of his fights are boring, you must not have seen most of his fights.. u probably only saw baldomir and de la hoya or something.. try watching floyd vs gatti, corrales, corley, chavez, augustus, etc.. im tired of people saying he's a boring fighter and they havent even watched his fights..
back to the subject, i hope he stays retired there's no point of him coming back.. there's always going to be haters and he's never going to be able to please everyone.. if he came back and fought margarito, cotto, williams, etc.. there would be fools coming out the woodworks saying he needs to fight other people and so on and so on.. stay retired
and as far as fighting the best he's fought more top fighters than cotto, williams and margaritoLast edited by C.Y.; 10-31-2008, 03:30 AM.Comment

It is true though... he has been less exciting ever since his move up to 147...if u think all of his fights are boring, you must not have seen most of his fights.. u probably only saw baldomir and de la hoya or something.. try watching floyd vs gatti, corrales, corley, chavez, augustus, etc.. im tired of people saying he's a boring fighter and they havent even watched his fights..

He was very exciting at 140, but he also didn't fight anyone good at 140... at all. That is not even debatable. If you have to weigh Gatti or Corley as your best win at a weight class, that probably is not a weight class you truly cleaned out.
By the way, I don't think he was too overly exciting against Corrales... a very methodical breakdown is what I would call that.
And HOW in the **** could you forget the Philip N'dou and Castillo I fights on his list of exciting fights? Those are by far the two best!Comment

good postIt's actually pretty irritating to me that people can't just appreciate what we have now...
I mean, really, Floyd was really good and all, but... **** like Margarito-Cotto and Clottey and Berto stepping up, along with Williams still lurking seems more than enough to take care of the WW division, without crying over some money hungry fighter who likely wouldn't fight the lot of them due to "financial issues" with those fighters.
I just don't see what the upside to him coming back is... after all he was talking about fighting De La Hoya and Hatton, rather than any of the fighters mentioned, so... idk, I'm not interested in seeing reruns.
I'll go ahead and enjoy the new releases the rest of the WW division is giving us.
that the way i feel....i like floyd. but with the current WW division sepping up in their game i don't really miss him that much.Comment

It's kind of funny. Just today I had a dream and Mayweather was actually in it too. The dream was cool, but I simply forgot about it untill I saw this thread.
So I guess what i'm trying to say is that Floyd is not really missed. I would have thought everything would of went diffirently, but seeing as how his division is doing right now, people just don't care about him anymore.Comment

He didn't start out boring, he just ended up that way. And I don't mind that sometimes, but his status with the casual fans are what's important here, and they just won't ever see him as anything special until he takes more risks.
And Floyd will never take many chances, it's just how he's built. He's about the UNDEFEATED status, and the money. That's why Ray Leonard is now easily considered an ATG, and why Floyd never will be.Comment
