      How do you percieve this quote from Floyd?

      Smart?

      Selfish?
      Smart.

      When Hopkins is interviewed, he attributes his longevity to not taking punishment.

      It's weird..... on FNF, I heard Andre Ward use at least 4 "Floyd-isms". Not taking punishment was one of them.

        Yeah, Floyd makes the most money and takes the least amount of punishment. I always think about how many fans/posters say that Floyd is boring but his sales break records. So I'd like to think there are more than a few that are telling little white lies and buy his fight because its amazing how professionally he dissects his opponents.

        Floyd is the highest paid because he's the smartest at the complete fight game and not just a portion.

          i think the bigger question is "which route would you take?"

            Um hes a defensive minded fighter. People need to grow up and stop acting like blood thirsty 12 year old UFC fans. Learn to appreciate EVERY style of boxing.

            Sweet Science: Hot and NOT get hit.

                What Floyd said was genius, and true, he has only looked bad in about 2-3 fights his entire career, and despite the ducking critizium has fought some sound guys..

                With a puncher like Ortiz on the menu and hopefully Manny, 1-2 more big fights he will solidify his mark as an ATGHOFer........


                Its safe to say Mayweather v Ortiz will do 1.25_+

                  he makes the most money, yet takes the least risk.
