    Floyd seems to be afraid of having a loss on his record, so he always has to have the advantage in age or size, or in the case of JMM, both age and size.
    How many advantages did he have aginst Oscar....Judah...Hatton....Corralles and Castillo?

    JMM is a tune up...nothing more..This fight isnt being billed as a figt to worship Floyd for..hes a tune up..hes a comeback fight.

          Mayweather is more like the Tin Man looking for heart or maybe more like The Lion trying to find courage. The next thing you'll know he'll be heading back home. then he'll end up telling stories that never really happened only in his dreams.

            Yes.

            One thing Floyd is not is a warrior. He has skill, but obviously lacks courage.

                It is Floyd's fault at the present time that both Shane Mosley and Paul Williams have called him out and yet he chooses to fight the much smaller, age 36 JMM.

                Floyd's legacy is garbage, because he refuses to fight a highly skilled opponent his own size like Mosley and has never fought a bigger opponent like Williams. He has to have a reach advantage or he will not sign to fight an opponent.

                He takes no risks.

                  Paul Williams calls out everybody, and Shane had his chance...and Marquez is #2 pound for pound.
