Floyd Mayweather talks about why he's lasted so long in the sport

[Counter Punch]

Floyd has great defense. Both inside and outside the ring.

If he were truly great, he would've had Margo, P Will., Cotto, and other elite WW's in his resume by now.

He's lasted this long because he hasn't fought anyone significant in his weight class the last few years... heck his last 2 fights were with Jr. Welter and a a blown up Lightweight !

He speaks as if he has a solid legacy to be proud of. The Boxing Writers Association of America didn't even pick him as the Fighter of the Decade!

So anyone who the Boxing Writers Association of America doesn't pick as fighter of the decade doesn't have a solid legacy?

Floyd is just telling the truth. Deal with it. This is boxing not the Gladiators. The less punishment u take the better. Standing toe to toe is brave but plain ******. What's the science behind that? Boxing is like Chess. You are trying to counter what your opponent is doing so u can win. You are not just making moves to just make them. U can ask any Neurologists if it is cool to get hit in the head repeatedly and he will look at u like u crazy.

Floyd is a *****. If you can't brawl, stay the hell out of the ring.

Can't argue with what you've said.

Some guys have testicles and some dont!

some guys step in the ring, others hate on fighters for not getting beat up instead.

I think floyd defense outside the ring is way better than inside the ring. He dodge all the great opponents outside the ring while he dodge punches of the mediocre opponent inside the ring.

Man, you're crazy. I wouldn't mind letting anyone beating the **** out of me. Floyd is just a *****. Boxing is for brave men, not *******.

That guy is brave and smart unlike, ***** boy Gayweather.

Floyd is one of the smartest boxers out there, look he been boxing fe 15 yrs with taking too much damage. B-hop done the same thing and has had a long career and if still boxing at 45yrs. Floyd could do the same thing, he can still box the way he does and do it for another 10yrs and still be undefeated with people still hating on him. He is in a sport where people die and people get mad because he trying not to get killed, you got remember boxers die in the ring and he take the same chance as every other boxer when they step in the ring.
