    Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: Age is Not a Factor For Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    World Boxing Council president Don Jose Sulaiman believes the age of Floyd Mayweather Jr who is some 16 years older than his opponent Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in their much-awaited title showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, will be a factor.

    GMA 7 will telecast the Mayweather-Alvarez title fight in the Philippines, nationwide, after Sunday All Stars at 2:15 p.m.

    Sulaiman cautioned that “ it would be a grave mistake to discount Floyd Mayweather due to his age” pointing out that “Floyd has taken care of himself very well always being in optimum condition. He's weathered his career well receiving scant punishment in fights, which haven't transformed into wars, due to his superb boxing skills and more than sound defense.”

      All of B-Hop's best performances have been after that age.

        True...
        Hypothetically speaking Mr. Saul Alvarez could be able to put Mr. FMJr. to sleep from his back foot.

            Floyd has taken care of his body better than any athlete I know, save for like a Herschel Walker. Floyd will be fine until he retires.

              Canelo never voiced his demand 4 JCC Jr or Sergio Martinez. Kudos 4 the Trout win but Trout actually brought no artillery or skills to the table, appeared 2 lack firepower, timing and was fairly limited.

                16 years older? So, Canelo is 20, or Floyd is 39?

                ...

                How do these people keep their jobs?..
