    [QUOTE=El Dominicano;4305862]Larry that is a very ****** thing to say. Floyd at old age would be a sucessful fight. Like I said before, Floyd was a GREAT athlete...Unlike RJJ, Floyd had skillz to go with it. Look at B-Hop for example...wouldn't you say Floyd / B-Hop have about the same skill level??[/QUOTE]

    no bhop is another animal more durable..floyd has fragile hands and depends more on speed than hopkins

      well lets not fool ourselves floyd has PLENTY of fight left in him. Plus RJJ and floyd's career couldn't be any more different in regards of punishment taken and the up and doing in weight classes roy has done.

        Mayweather would of boxed circles around Margarito. He retired cause he wanted to, nothing more nothing less.

          Floyd is a complete fighter...Floyd is a better fighter then RJJ...what kind of comparison is this?? This doesn't make sense at all

          Are you saying Floyd ONLY depended on his athletic ability? Cuz if you are...your DEAD wrong

              chill man,,floyd is a complete fighter but his skills are based on speed and reflexes..once he looses those hes your average skilled boxer and becomes beatable...he didnt wanna risk losing

                Larry seriously man, I really don't think you know what your talking about. Fighters that Floyd have faced have gotten their ass beat while Floyd had his back against the ropes.

                DLH had Floyd where he wanted him couldn't capitalize
                Hatton couldn't either
                Neither did JLC
                Neither could Baldy, Zab, Chop Chop

                The only fight I've seen Floyd go Roy status was against Chico...

                So seriously man...Putting Floyd in the RJJ category is simply DUMB

                In my opinion, Pernell / Mayweather SAME skill level. Pernell was kill kickin ass when he was well past it...Go see if he needed his speed/ reflex...when dude was beatin up fighters on the inside.

                  to not get hit while your back is on the ropes you depend on what?reflexes,the whole shoulder roll thing is based on what?reflexes..dont know what you're defending..im a floyd fan and facts are facts..he relys on speed and reflexes

                      I was thinking the same thing saturday night. floyd made the right choice, even if it is a little early for him.
