Floyd Mayweather at 34 is DONE in terms of greatness

[IMDAZED]

Relax we don't watch or know anything about boxing....hahaha

Yea I mean I can't argue with what you said and in reality like I said, I have Mayweather beating Pacquaio.

I just want to see the ***in fight and I think considering his age and everything that is going on around him and then couple the fact that Pac doesn't need him...........it won't happen.

Pac's career is defined, Mayweather leaves something to be desired and that is a fact. I don't care about either fighter or am a particular fan of either fighter in the ring specifically.

I do think PAc is a great person outside the ring and Mayweather is a piece of **** but that has never influenced my opinion of him as a professional.

Without question, as it stands today, Pac ranks higher than Floyd - although he's doing even worse than Floyd of 2006 when it comes to cherry picking. Honestly, I don't care what they do outside of the ring. They both strike me as arrogant jerks. But I don't know them. Floyd would do well to come back and take on Martinez sometime at the end of the year. He surprised me when he fought Shane and I'd be shocked if he fought Sergio. I just don't see it happening. And I do believe that when he does return, he'll be 1-2 fights away from losing his undefeated record.

Of Course that will start to Diminish, that happens to ALL FIGHTERS, eventually "FATHER TIME" will catch up to you...BUT just like Sugar Ray Leonard coming back from a 2-3 year layoff to CHEAT...I mean defeat lol Hagler, Punishment is what diminishes you the fastest not really age and layoff and ON TOP OF THAT, these Current Boxers are NOT THAT SKILLED and many of them are NOT THAT GOOD...that is why guys like Hopkins, Glen Johnson and Mosley are still hanging around because the Competition is VERY BEATABLE!

so even if someone like Mayweather slows down, he will still have enough to beat probably 99.9% of these fighters because as much as people talk about his "SKILLS" Mayweather style also has a lot to do with the MENTAL ASPECT OF BOXING, something that many of these current fighters Don't Have, that is why the go out and change Trainers every other fight because they NEED their trainer to help them with the Mental Aspect not necessarily the PHYSICAL STUFF...that is why a lot of people say "Mayweather Plays Chess While The Rest Of Boxing Is Playing CHECKERS" because Mayweather in the RING THINKS before he makes his moves

Layoffs is not going to diminish Mayweather, Sugar Ray Leonard did the exact same thing late in his career, fighting 1 fight a year and was off for 2-3 years before fighting Hagler and didn't take a WARM UP FIGHT for Hagler I don't think, but the Hagler fight took a lot of Leonard as did the 2nd Hearn fight, he probably should have stopped after the 2nd Hearns fight and especially after the 3rd DURAN fight but instead he ran into a YOUNG BEAST in Terry Norris and get DESTROYED

and by the way Mayweather is way more skilled the Roy Jones was...lets be honest I don't know why some of you keep bringing up Roy Jones, now Roy depended COMPLETELY on boxing faster and having great reflex, Roy didn't have great defense and he kept his Guard Down to get him punches off faster

Mayweather isn't Sugar Ray Leonard. He thinks before he moves? What happens when he knows what he wants to do but does it a half second later than he wanted? He gets knocked the f*** out. And if you want to talk mentally, that's his biggest problem. He clearly isn't fighting because he wants to, he fights now because that's the only way to get the money he wants. That attitude will hurt him as well.

Again, what happens when he goes for the pullcounter but is beaten to the punch? What happens when he tries to shoulder roll a punch but can't do it fast enough? If he can make adjustments to his style to an uglier Hopkins like style, maybe he does stay elite for longer than I expect. But I don't see Mayweather doing that or caring to do it.

It's funny to hear how Floyd's age and will show a "natural" reduction in his ability....but somehow Pac's assension in ability as he get older is "natural" too. U guys are telling on yourselves.

maybe, but his cherry-picking career is just starting
