    What is it from PBF that you haven't seen? He fought hurt against Castillo, fought with broken hands, got rocked a few times (Corley, Mosley) and came back to win in style. So what is it that you still feel you haven't seen from PBF?
    What I haven't seen, is Floyd take on an elite fighter IN THEIR PRIME!!!

Floyd is actually getting stronger with age, put that with his IQ and you have a serious problem on your hands. I predict Floyd will stop Ortiz and I think Ortiz would beat the hell out of Khan. Trust me there's a reason why Manny didnt accept Ortiz' challenge. People are quick to diss Berto now but nobody was calling his name before the Ortiz fight and even after.

      Berto is ****, we all knew that from the Collazo fight.

He is as good as he is because he has all those skill and is one of the most naturally gifted boxers. You think he'll be able to pull counter when he's slower and reacts later? you think he'll be able to move his body the same? His skills are reliant on his ability to react.
        Ofcourse he's going to slow down. He's human and he already has but the point is can he still be very good even when that happens unlike RJ, Mosley, & Zab and the answer is yes because he has those other qualities. Also, its not like he's speed & reflexes will just go into the toilet. He'll still be pretty darn fast.

        Sure he might cant pull counter but thats pretty overrated. Its not like he lands 90 of them per fight. He only lands a couple. People are underestimating the base of his fighting style. 80% of what he does is still just pure fundementally sound boxing with defense & intelligence

          Respectfully disagree. Floyd is almost never the aggressor. He waits for guys to come to him and he picks his shots on his opponents misfires. His roll wont be as effective as his ability to move to back and sway will not be as fast. Ive always said that Floyd is Roy Jones. Its freakish god given gifts that make him special. Roy fought anything but technical. Now Floyd uses more technical ability than Roy per'se, but nowhere has the ring IQ of someone like Hopkins. Floyds speed is his number 1 asset. Hes very flat footed, and takes small steps and doesn't really strafe. Then again that's due to his ability do roll/duck (with ease and speed mind you) and counter. I love Floyd, but im not gonna BS the story.

            Floyd is no Roy Jones!!!! Floyd is far more intelligent and accurate and I wont even mention defence. Floyd will probably go down as the smartest to ever lace'em up and his ability to adapt is unrivaled. Floyd has the speed of Ray leonard, the old school mindest of a B-Hop and some Ray Robinson overall ability. He lures dummies into thinking its all about the bling and arrogance but he has never come into a fight unprepared, dude is always in top form. There's no way a fighter can be that good and dedicated and not love what he does. Floyd feeds on people taking him for granted. Trust and believe Floyd is a student of the game. I clearly see Floyd retiring undefeated.

                Khan needs a few more fights, but the problem is if he waits too long Mayweather will be too old and a possible victory will be worth less. He has to fight him while he's (Floyd) still at/near the top of his game.

                    Floyd will fight Khan right away if he looks and feels good after the Ortiz fight. If he struggles, he may be done. Floyd always said he wont let boxing retire him. He wont stick around when he is losing it. This next fight determines everything. People saying "It wont mean as much to beat Floyd in a few years" are missing the big picture. Floyd wont be fighting at that point.
