Floyd Jr. - Being avoided, or being ****** ?

[jabsRstiff]

None of us know for sure about the real struggles to put fights together....
But, what's your opinion on Mayweather's future ?

Is this guy just not worth it (high risk, not a whole lot of reward) to the other marketable fighters around him...
or is Floyd overestimating his own value (that's the "******" part) ?

He's a little to high on himself. Boxing is a business and these guys have a short period of time in their life to maximize there money making potential. I don't think there are many top notch 140 pounders out there that are "ducking" PBF. I think they feel similar to the fans, in that, he's taking a huge step up in competetion in this weight class and is very beatable.

Floyd is being selective in his own right also. He wants Gatti....beacause the money is huge and he knows if he doesn't get caught with a big shot he can outbox Gatti for an easy win. I guarantee he doesn't want any of Tszyu regardless of what he says.

the trouble with floyd is he's too good. leaving any bias against him aside would you bet money against him beating everyone in the top 10 at 140? i know i would'nt. the same thing used to be said about pernell whitiker, boring to watch, but after he retired all of a sudden he's willie pep. enjoy him while he's here, you'll miss him when he's gone.

He is very good I'll give him that, I don't think he'd beat up on the cream of the 140 division, he much slicker but I think the likes of Zoo, Hatton and Cotto have the power to trouble him.

Futher to the above I think he would have more chance of beating Spinks at 147

Well the thing I dont understand is that Floyds main thing was to always get the fan recognition and notoriaty he felt he deserved. He said he wanted to headline ppv's and everything else. But he goes from all that to fighting Brussels. Maybe this is part of his master plan. I we cant forget that when he was at the lighter weights he was fighting everyone in sight (manfredy, hernandez, castillo, chavez, ect.)

[tri4ben2]

I think he is a top 5 at 140, but not the best. However, he thinks he should get in the $2 mil range for each fight, and he is pricing himself out of some good fights.

He will get bored in 2005 and fight someone good.

I agree wioth you, but I think Floyd is simply too fast and skilled to be beaten by any of them and I actually think he will knockout cotto and tko hatton, Tszyu has the power to end it early for floyd but once he gets hit and scared like he did against corralles he will step up the pace and outclass tszyu for the remainder of the fight. I know Tszyu knocked out Judah and Mitchell, but they are both southpaws with suspect defense...

[Tyson'scolon]

He's being stoopid.

That would sure spoil DLH's plans of ruling that division !
