Never A Fan Of Floyd, But…

[CubanGuyNYC]

Oscar fought many rounds in a careless fashion. Some people think he gave the Trinidad fight away because he could not fight the full rounds in the fight.

Interesting. I never heard that before. I saw that fight live on TV. Oscar was on his way to winning that fight easily. Gave it away, as you said. I bought his excuse at the end, that he thought he was ahead on points and stayed away. It was an amateurish decision. Perhaps there was indeed more to it than that.

I'm pretty sure you're g@y. The things you write here are things you imagine or actually do. Do not mess with me.

Those weird ****** fantasies you have about Canelo are disturbing. Tell the truth, you’re a pole smoker.

The bolded: that was the problem. I don't think Floyd would make such an error. I think Floyd and Ward both always tried to win rounds... Probably because whenever putting the fight in the judges hands could result in problems

Floyd's wins over Genaro Hernandez and Diego Corrales are better than 99% of current fighters' whole resumés.

Youre exactly right his work ethic was on another planet and reflects in how good of a fighter he was he gave his life to the sport as all great ones do, there is mental conditioning going on when youre hitting the pavement at 2am knowing you opponents is sleeping, I know Jeff Fenech personally and he was a beast in the gym and he had seen Floyd train and was totally blown away in that he would spar 45 minutes straight with multiple guys then do bag work floor to ceiling then run that night, Jeff said he couldn't believe his eyes with what Floyd was doing, as Judah once said Floyd trained like he was broke.

I was watching a few videos dedicated to Mayweather on YouTube yesterday — some about his training, some about his fights — and I came away with a new appreciation. It stands to reason that anyone at the top of their game works like an animal, but it’s another thing to see it broken down. Floyd worked extremely hard, possibly harder than any of his contemporaries. Inspirational, really. Hard to hate on a guy that earned every bit of his success.

Floyd is the last of the Mohicans regarding training ethic. Fighters of the past were always ready to fight on a moments notice and there was never an off season like there is now. My first amateur trainer really burned that into us and I'll tell you I felt guilty when I was off track even for a few days. At one point I broke my big toe (got mad and kicked something metal) and refused to lay up. That toe took like at least 6 months to heal and hurt like a bitch.

Like Prograis said the other day after the Zepeda fight, he likes to run around the hood and stay up all night doing naughty stuff, but when it's time to train he trains extremely hard. Thats cool and the gang that you train hard, but that's part of the modern day problem that's plagued boxing.

That means you can't provide us with proof of your Jeff Fenech claim.

Provide backup fotos of how cool you and Jeff Fenech are please

I totally feel you. I never fought on any level, amateur or pro — most I’ve ever done is sparred and done some boxing-type training — but I’ve trained in one way or another for 40 years. I’m familiar with the mindset. I applaud you. And I agree that as time goes on, fewer boxers have that do-or-die training ethic. Pros at the higher levels fight less and less as time goes one. Too much free time. As the saying goes, the devil makes work for idle hands.

He shouldve tried testing himself more as a fighter in the ring! I think he left it all in the gym.
I mean if you train harder than anyone's ever done you should be able to do things others haven't done, like win titles in 8 divisions, or dare take fights others didn't think you'd dare take like beat GGG at 160. Or best Nelo in a rematch in Nelos prime while your out of yours. Or best people in their backyards, home advantage would be of no use against training demon who trains twice as hard as you?
