    Precisely. You can lead a horse to water…as the saying goes.

      I am calling it like I see it.

      Floyd was overtraining to take rack on Andre Berto and 120 lb kickboxers

        Mayweather was always one of the more disciplined boxers in terms of both his training and his fighting. He was known for his meticulous preparation and his ability to stick to a game plan in the ring. This discipline served him well throughout his career, as he racked up an impressive 50-0 record (or 49-0 if you believe the argument that the crossover fight should not be counted in the official records). Hopkins and GGG are even more disciplined than Mayweather, and they have both enjoyed tremendous success in the boxing world. Duran and Fury are less disciplined than the other three, but they are both even more talented. This talent has allowed them to overcome their lack of discipline and achieve great things in the sport of boxing. Other sports see this as well. The focus and preparation of recent athletes like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the late Kobe Bryant is beyond inspiring. Yet others have little life skills in discipline but get by on their tremendous natural born talents. The late Diego Maradona was such an athlete.

Did you put on your pink leotards and matching lipstick before jerking it to your favorite sweaty Canelo poster today? Infatuated pha66ot.

              No doubt Floyd had advantages most don’t — i.e. he started extremely early and had great tutelage. But Mayweather could’ve strayed from his path to greatness very easily. It’s a very long, hard road to the top. It’s monotonous, time-consuming, boring and painful. And while Floyd may not be well-educated in an academic sense, he’s no dope. He took his gifts, worked like a man possessed and made some shrewd moves to become, according to Forbes, the sixth highest earning athlete of all time.
              Well another way of looking at is that history is full of great fighters, hof fighters etc and they pretty much all had sons, there was only one Floyd Mayweather.

              Im fascinated by these types of things because I've bred and raised performance animals my whole life and know first-hand how even when everything is perfect, you still get a duffer, and when all odds are against them, greatness rises up in spite of everything, I look at great individuals whether man or beast as being Gods prototypes, they are special beings.

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.
                What you did was something that used to be expected of intelligent, well educated people... what were called "********" at the time, and baring little, to no relation to how the term is used today... You went into looking at something with an open mind and allowed it to move you. You are to be commended!

                I first realized Floyd's greatness watching him in slo mo avoid a shot and set the counter up. It showed how in the milliseconds of a reaction Floyd stayed the technical points to success... I was impressed. I think at 130 he was on a relatively short list.

                  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.

                    they all want one big money fight, then a cash out


                    Theres no more guts and glory in boxing. Its over with. At least for americsn fighters.
                    Why do you think Haney wants a cash out? Yes him and his daddy are trying to generate interest, you have to! Jake Paul taught the blue print. Social media generates a presence and these young guys need to get a presence and not depend on promoters.

                    Guts and glory can only come with fan support and fans need to be able to access fights and meet the fighters so they can decide who is a f a g, a b um, the best thing since sliced bread... and everything in between..

                      Well after Hatton it was cherrypicking the easiest fights possible. A who's who list of slow, short, short armed come forward fighters. Pushing himself was when he threw in a shopworn fighter with a name
