Is Floyd an old 33?

[bareg]

He will not be facing Matthew Hatton. Richard Schaeffer denied that.

He wants to take on Pacquiao. But his compromise of a 14day cutoff was rejected. He still says he wants the fight but team pacquiao has moved on.

I doubt theres anything wrong with Mayweathers confidence. He just beat JMM in one of the most onesided highlevel fights in recent years.

the blood testing really just got out of hand which is why it isn't happening.

jmm doesn't have the style to scratch mayweather i think.

two things i think why floyd is very careful in his match making.
1. he cannot go down to light welterweight which is rightfully for his size and has a lot of size disadvantages in welterweight (similar to manny but can still make light welterweight)
2. maybe pre-retirement he can dodge or block 5 punches in a row and counter. lets say now he can just dodge 3 and counter. (only example, for all i know he can block 100 punches in a row)

but it is well documented that he has hand problems. he may have made a lot of punches miss but most of it was caught by his shoulder. maybe volume punchers can now trouble him because they can target his shoulder.

he went back because he needed the money. if the two years would only have done him good like you said, then it makes sense that he fight the best because he has recharged right. then why is it that he's not?

is he beats both pac and mosley or any one of them. he gets best of both worlds.

In my latest thread I explained why he doesnt want to fight the best. I do know that physically there is no problem with him.

Mayweather has the best defense in boxing since Sweet Pea was around. No one has ever landed a 2 punch combo on him let alone a 5.

When did Floyd say he was fighting Matt Hatton??...Show me.

Scahfer just said last night that Matt Hatton is NOT an option at all.

"Big boys"..what big boys are available for March 13th???

"he can take on pac honestly"..Thast what hes been trying to do since Pac beat Cotto.

sorry about that. meant hatton as an example. well he has nothing to gain if he ain't fighting a "big boy". might as well sit it out. i can accept him not fighting paul williams, maybe bradley but he's from showtime. i'd accept him fighting paulie or nate campbell but hopefully he doesn't promote it as him taking on the best. coz basically its a tune up. but neither are tuneups for a bout with mosley or pac if they're next

i didn't meant combo. a lot of pressure fighters in welterweight are punchers as well. so maybe before, none could sneak in, but today, one could. he is also a pretty small welterweight. so that's why floyd is very careful in accepting mosley's challenge. and he is basically his only choice because all others are from arum's stable which i understand if he does not fight because arum's an ass

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

Floyd is far from a old 33 his only problem is his hands thats why he dont throw combinations like he use to but you see he is so good that he can beat world class figters with pop shots

[bravocharly]

He tried to fight Pac. Its the biggest money fight.

He offered Pac a 14 day cut off.

Thats more then fair man...he didnt duck Pac.

It was very unfair man...because he based his drug testing demand on FALSE accusation.

Except Pacquiao Class fighter .

You are right.
Mayweather seemed to have trouble vs the guy that pushed Pacquiao to the limit twice.
