    Floyd - "Belts gather dust"

    I have no respect for this guy. He's a great talent but not all he could be. In it for the money and seems he'd rather duck someone who might beat to ensure he keeps getting the big pay days.

    Here's a quote from a hero of mine who was a football manager.
    "It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."

    Floyd not having that mentality will stop him from going down as one of the greatest and to be honest perhaps he does have the talent to have been.

      Neither will wasting money on his lifestyle. He has more money than everyone who responds to this thread combined. Probably more than we'll all make in our lifetimes combined. His family are going to be fine.

            Brits will get it.

            Anyway he was right in what he said when you have a family you measure things up differently. From a selfish point the belts are probably worth a lot to him, when comparing it to his family's well being they are essentially worthless.

              I'd rather have 100 million in my bank accounts instead of having belts collect dust on the wall.

              What are you going to do when you need money? You can do a lot more with money than belts.

                Neither will a great resume, that just gathers dust and builds a legacy that people never forget. If Floyd can't afford to feed his family for the next 20 years after the Oscar and Hatton fight then he should give his head a shake. You can't use that excuse and then buy millions in ***elery.

                  at least he tell the dang truth, at the end of his career, he cant come up to me or non of his fans and ask for money, moslty because we have our own problems and little money to give, so i dont blame him he is 100% right, belts only collect dust because they are worthless, he couldnt sell it if he wannted to,
