    Floyd doesn't have a warriors' heart, but I think Adrien does.
    what do u base this on?cause he has had several fights where he went toe to toe

      All I see is a guy with good speed ,not cat like reflexes that Floyd displayed . Ok defensively , not the fastest guy in the ring. He more of a defensively sound Andre berto at this stage. He just naturally bigge then the guys he's fighting. Also it's not like he's fighting world beaters either. 140 is where we will see if he's second coming of may or just a more rounded berto.

        future ATG? What is going on around here? People talking about these up and comers like ATG's are a dime a dozen........time to get real

        to become an ATG you need the resume. he doesn't have that. what he's got is the talent and the potential to become an ATG. he's going to have to fight the fights and win them, obviously.


        i have not seen a kid at 23 who is this sharp for a while. he was doing some pretty amazing things in there. demarco is limited, but he's a solid lightweight who has been fighting solid opposition and holding his own. broner took him apart in his first fight at 135.

          and floyd trains like a total beast. he works too hard to just fold it in when things get tough. he puts in the work so he can adjust and win these fights.


          if floyd fights long enough i think we'll eventually see him go out on his shield. i don't think we'll see it, though, as i think he's only 3 - 5 fights from retirement at the max.

            Definitely has the talent to do something special, only time will tell whether he has the character to achieve it.

              I always knew the kid could fight. his persona is questionable . but fact of the matter is he's all business in the squared circle. Hate it or love it Broner will be on top of the food chain for a minute.

                I'm sold on The Problem as well. Demarco was legit opponent and Adrian dismantled him. AB just made me a fan..

                    He's very good but this is boxing. Sometimes a punch changes a career. More often a woman does though.

                      I think he has a lot of potential but I won't be sold on him until I see how he deals with adversity against a top fighter.
