I think people confuse Floyds out of the ring actions, with his in the ring actions...

In the ring he is one of the most skilled fighters Ive ever seen.... Outside of the ring... Id like to take a bat to his face.

With that said, I can't talk **** on his skill inside the ring.

haha thats a funny comparison. i think the way they dominate lesser opponents is similar. they both are also very smart at executing their gameplan. i think thats what you mean by not fighting with passion. they dont lose it and go balls to the wall and go for broke at once as gatti did for an entire career and many others do at times. they stay focused and execute, wlad has been perfect at this barely losing a round in his last 5 or ten fights. floyd has also been very good at this although he has lost a few rounds and even the first half of a few fights, his gameplan always involves him winning at least seven rounds, therefore the fight as well. but both still try very hard and fight wqith passion. the conditioning they both are always in proves their passion and drive to succeed. fighters like arreola who cant bring themselves to get in shape lack passion, not wlad and floyd

Floyds skill and defence level is far beyond Walds....he's been stopped 3 times

i'll tell you something about floyd's passion in the ring--he is just so damn gifted that he prides himself on looking good in the ring even if the knockout doesn't come--he prides himself on winning and staying disciplined...that's passion---it is just that he is so better skilled than everybody in his weightclass, that it looks like he doesn't care---i have yet to see floyd have to dig deep to pull out a win--even in the castillo fight---he hasn't had to because he is just that good---he is a 15 round fighter--he's patient and stays poised in the ring even when he loses rounds--he's the most skilled fighter overall i have ever seen in boxing history...period...he's just that good---people can't stand it...

wlad fights with more passion cause he'll fight anybody whos put in front of him

**larry x** · 08-25-2009, 04:15 PM

no passion???man whats wrong with people these days??both are high i.q fighters and fight more with their brain which is smart..both rarely get hit and both always get the job done..both are at the top of the sport and have been there 4 awhile...maybe other fighters should try and do what they do

They don't fight with passion , they fight with their brain. Both smart fighters.
