      Oh, yeah, sure, I do. No one's done diddly **** to prove any of these modern exhibitions are any different from the past exhibitions, which, were choreographed and where the entire pro wrestling idea came from.

      Not saying I'd definitely back Money in a proper fight, but, I damn sure am not watching a ****ing exhibition and thinking I'm seeing anything real. I see no reason to believe these are more real then the past ones, and, we know those were fake. Got several hundred years of exhibitions, just a ****load of examples. Exhibitions for the martial art of boxing are older than the sport of boxing. Plenty of history, don't see a reason to believe we live in the honest era.

      Basically what I'm saying is if you don't take an exhibition with a grain of salt you're either ignorant to the history of them, or, just plain ****** and gullible.

        Hopkins at 46 beat Pascal, he beat Cloud and Murat at 48. Floyd at 44 went the full eight rounds with Logan (0-1) Paul. Even if Floyd made a serious run at a comeback, I don't give him a chance with any top 5 welter.

          Or somebody still believes 44 old Floyd beats Crawford, Spence, Porter?
          Floyd himself doesn’t believe that he beats the top guys , which is why he has been retired for the past six years. Exhibitions are just that.

            floyd historically gives up a 10-15 pound weight avantage.

            he was 155 without a real training camp and small love handles

            he is really a jr welter that became a two time lineal welter and lineal jr middle champ based on skills and speed

            with a real camp he could beat anyone at 140 easy.

            the only fighters in history that were top 5 material at that age were foreman and hopkins. they fought men their size on fight night.

              Obviously.

              He’s 44 years old and hasn’t had a professional boxing match in 4 years.

              Hasn’t beaten a Top 10 boxer in 6 years.

              What do you expect? Floyd to be able to compete with boxers for life?

                  Floyd is no Hopkins. He has no longevity. Sad to see Floyd fan boys crying like babies in here..

                  This is a tragedy..

                    Just like they all beat Paquiao. One has the sense in his 40's, that a loss will come against a current top fighter. The other will risk his reputation against guys that don't belong in the ring with him.

                    What I will say is, floyd is taking on the least risk, while manny is fighting the toughest fights at this point. One guy is smarter, one has bigger balls. I hope they both just hang em up.

                      Now some of them are trying to float a conspiracy that Floyd actually had him knocked out in one of the rounds and held him up. Desperate.
