FLOYD fans are not BOXING fans!

[jazluvr]

i would have to disagree with you because i am a floyd fan but i do think that he should fight legit welterweights. even though he doesnt have the heart of a champion you cant ignore the skills that he brings to the ring. i appreciate the fact that he loves the sport and always comes in pretty good shape. i see no excuse as to why he shouldn't fight the other welterweights. he definitely has the skills to win so i dont understand why he doesn't. i mean hes came up in weight and fought bigger guys before so i dont understand why he doesn't want any part of the welterweights. plus he always talks about legacy but he doesn't realize that fighting the WW's and dominating the division will further cement his legacy and put the nay sayer's to rest. i honestly feel that people who ignore his skills and downplay's his victories are the ones who are not boxing skills. there hasnt been another fighter in a long time that does what he does. the only he's missing is the drive to fight the best guys in his division. if he does that i would definitely consider him as and all time great.

Good post...one thing i want to point out again, is...i don't think Floyd is personally afraid to fight other WW's, i think that his undefeated reputation is the single most important thing in his life, and he does NOT want to lose it. He needs money, and needs to fight some more, so it will be interesting to see what happens in his future fight(s).

Will he fight guys that have a legit chance on beating him? Or will he continue to fight only guys he's sure he can beat? I'm not claiming anything, just waiting and watching to see what he does. I agree with your statement that he has tremendous skills, but his obsession with that "0' limits him from going after big game.

And i used to be a big time Floyd fan, only to be dissappointed when he retired with his beloved "0", and the overly defensive style he developed, not taking any chances by getting into it intensely, like Manny, Clottey, Cotto, Mosley, JMM and others. And yes, i saw the video on here with Shane making all those excuses. That was then...this is now. I hope Floyd fights Shane before he's 40, or other WW that have a chance on beating him.

One thing i like, he seems a bit more humbled now that he's officially back in the game. Is that because he's expected to fight legit WW's or is it because of his debts? Only he can answer these questions with his future dicisions, attitude and behavior. Even though i kinda like Max, it was kinda cool to see Floyd shut his ass up...lol.
