Floyd Mayweather at 34 is DONE in terms of greatness

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Floyd maybe has one more great fight left in him.

i sure hope so...hate to see him 'age' by the midway point of a PAC fight....well, who am i kidding...i'd love to see 'Grandpa Floyd' threads the day after the showdown

Floyd's done with fighting, that's why he retired in the first place. He wanted to retire undefeated. The only reason he came back was because he needed money. He wanted to take the fights that would make him the most money with the least amount of risk. Now that he's got money, he ain't rushing to get back in that ring. He definitely doesn't wanna fight Pac...too risky.That's why he spends so much time hating on Pac, he wants to convince people he's better without actually having to fight him. Now, if he sees any weakness in Pac during the Mosley fight, he MIGHT decide to grow some balls and agree to fight Pac, but if Pac destroys the man that rocked him and lasted 12 rounds with him, we will never see Floyd in the ring again.

Kind of like the weaknesses Manny saw in Shane when he fought Floyd?

Well the way it's going he's going to be pretty rusty and aged when they meet. But it doesn't look like they'll meet anyway.

yea...i've already filed this one under the 'Bowe-Lewis, Toney-Hopkins', Foreman-Holmes' archive of the 'woulda been cool to see' folder



BTW- did you see the Ponce De Leon fight? i think he eeked that one out on activity

[Ron_Simmons]

he has more than speed and reflexes. his technique is really the best in the world. see bhop.

But BHop doesn't rely on speed with his technique. He gets a lot of his work on the inside and gets physical (sometimes dirty). Two totally different styles. Mayweather's defense is heavily based on how quick his reflexes are to time an opponent on counters or to roll punches how he does. Just a bit of timing off against someone like Pacquiao can be deadly, not matter how good a defender he is.

Haven't seen it, I'm a week behind. Still trying to figure out wtf happened on TV from Friday until now. Can never tell with NSB - either all of the fighters who won suck or are the next future legends lol.

Probably. I aint gonna lie, I'm sure thats why they took the Mosley fight. Every fighter does it...including Floyd. Only difference is, roach admits it, Floyd wont.

[Gutz]

Even though I dont like Floyd.. I dont agree with this

I still think cause the way Floyd fights he can do this another 2-3 more years..

Not only that.. Sergio is 35? now i think and he is in his prime..

[wazaa.]

He's only 18 months older than 'prime' Pacquiao and shows no signs of decline.

I think he's settled for what he's done so far and wants to avoid anything risky. The zero has become everything.

He has definitely declined. You could see this in his last 2 fights. His punches aren't that fast anymore and his reflexes are diminishing.
