    how do you know what he can do when he has never done it?

    lIKE YOU ASKED, WERE YOU AT TRAINING CAMP WITH HIM? Do you see his daily food take? Come on dude. LOL

      At the end of the day he is the best in the world and Amir is just not a credible opponent for him if he goes that route, its a cherrypick and anything less than a total Floyd domination including a ko would be unimpressive.

        Cut it out, I'm a big Floyd fan and I know he's not going to 160. That list was composed of fights that I would prefer. As a fight fan why wouldn't you want him to attempt to capture the Lineal title at Middleweight. Will it happen, absolutely not, but as a fan I would like to see it happen and I think he'd beat Sergio.

          Part of why it's so easy to hate on Floyd is that he is constantly giving us haters easy ammunition.

            "Hard work and dedication!"

            "It's not about working harder."

            Thank you for being you, Floyd.

              Cut it out? Im just responding to whomever wrote he SHOULD fight Martinez at 160. Thats it thats all. I honestly dont see Floyd fighting at 154 again

              Im just happy there are no fights I want/need to see so i wont be disappointed like most on here.

                  HUH? Im a fan of the sport first and foremost. Watching boxing is what I look forward to watching. Ever since the first negotiations between Floyd and Manny did not work, I have only cared about the fights that happen in the ring. Whats the point of hoping/wishing/praying and getting worked up over certain fights when I have no control. So when boxing is on HBO, Showtime, ESPN, CBS, NBC, Foxsports 1, NBCSports, I enjoy the fight thats on and not say "This fighter should be fighting this fighter, or I want to see this fighter fight this fighter." I crack my brew, pour my cognac, and enjoy my favorite sport without moaning and groaning.

                    They sell a product your a consumer if you go to a restaurant and want a London broil and pay what the cost of that is but the give you a taco are you just going to be ok with that?

                    Same concept really, they owe the fans the matches they ask for.

                      I understand where you are trying to go with your analogy sir, but when it comes to BOXING, I take whats in front of me. If I dont want to watch it, I dont. Not about to complain and get riled up when it helps nothing. All I am saying.
