    Is Floyd an old 33?

    I don't know but I think he is and he knows it.

    In boxing, you can grow old overnight. I think two years is a long time to be off especially if they expect you to fight top guys IN YOUR WEIGHTCLASS on your way back.

    Countless amateur fights, hand injuries, bad shoulder, broken rib, all documented. Floyd hasn't shown it yet but he knows any of the top guys in welterweight that he should have no reason to duck can beat him.

    Pacman may be the #1 p4p fighter in the world but he has the least chance to beat floyd because of his size. Mayweather also gains the most money against him. Mayweather knows Pacman is not on roids but insists so he can get under his skin. Its actually low risk high reward for Money but says he has nothing to gain from it because he is supposed to beat him. It can also erase doubts of him being a ducker.

    I think Floyd is hiding something. His confidence isn't the same as it was when he retired. I bet if the Pacquiao fight came up in 2007 even with the 2009 version, he'll take it in a heartbeat.

    Floyd came back for the wrong reason (money). He cannot have both unless he fights p4p fighters. He cannot have circus fights with Matthew Hatton because he is pound for pound. But then again, he can prove me wrong, captivate our minds and keep his "0".


    What do you guys think?

        Yes, I think he holds a very personal secret.

          Team Pacquiao hints that they had little interest of fighting Floyd this soon. They came up with these excuses, instead of coming straight forward to admit that they would needed more times.

            PBF has no right to make demands over and beyond what is legitimate to the Boxing Commission`s Rules. World Welterweight Champion and P4P #1, Manny Pacquiao, wisely did not heed to the demands of a crownless pretender.

            PBF simply made it impossible for anyone to fight him, starting with, he wanted to hear Manny call him out, which Manny did. No one should be made a fool of.

              Hes taken very little punishment in his career. He is quite fresh for a 33y old.
              His only real problem are his britled hands.

                Are you serious?


                This fight hung in the balance on a cut off date. Roach said 5 days was fine. Then Pac says he need 24 days to recover from a blood test. Floyd offered 14 days.

                Thast more then fair.

                  If only Mayweather could be easy to deal with like Clottey or Cotto, this fight would happen in a heartbeat. Pac-Cotto, Pac-Clottey got made, why can't Pac-Mayweather?). I cannot blame Mayweather, his legacy rests on his being undefeated...with a smear on his record he becomes ordinary.

                  Unless Mayweather fights a REAL welter with serious pop, he's *****.

                    If you were updated on your readings, you should know that 14 days was offered after the mediation failed. It was a weak attempt by PBF to save face. Roach never said 5 days was fine. Roach never agreed to any tests less than 30 days before.

                    The rules that PBF had invented was never legal, nor was required by any Professional Boxing Commission. PBF just made his own rules and he never had that right to make such a demand in the first place.

                    First of all, a challenger to a World Crown and P4P Title should never make demands which would surely be refused.
