Why are ppl so naive on Floyd's possible opponents

[Sugar Adam Ali]

It is pretty much a law of the internet that if someone has master/genius/pro/expert in their username, they're almost always a total ******.

Hahahahahahahaha,,, so true, best line I ever read on nsb

[WESS]

Floyd can't make 140 or 154. Why? He's a 147 fighter. It's not hard people. Really it's not. Floyd's best weight was 130-135. He can't make 140 anymore without draining himself so he fights at 147 where guys that fight there already outweigh him. Let alone when he moves up to 154 and attempts to make more than 151.

It's funny how people love to discredit Hoya, Cotto and Alvarez when it suits their agenda but when trying to make Floyd sound like a monster, people switch it up to Floyd just killed these super ATG JMW's so he shouldn't be allowed back at WW..

At the end of the day kiddies, Floyd's best weight is at 147. We get, some "fans" are so damn pissed because he's much like Mosley was for Pac, "too good". However he will stay at WW and there is nothing really anyone can do about it. Unless of course someone at JMW builds star power like Hoya, Cotto and Alvarez has done.

So, I read on here how people talk about Floyd fighting Garcia or Maidana, and before the small Argentine dude matthysse.. For F0cksake those are all 140 pounders!!!!! Floyd is 154, it amazes me people look two divisions lower for possible opponents. What is wrong with you people? The man fights at 154. Floyd is to them what andre ward and carl froch is to him at 168. Yeah he came from that weight, but he has grown and isn't that small anymore. Later on in say for example. Hopkins, Jones, or Toney's career, when they moved up in weight, would u have them fighting middleweights again? Look I don't know how, the mass's perception skims over his real opponents, but they aren't ****in 140 pounders. He has fighters in his actual division, for starters, Lara, and both martinez and GGG said they would go to 154 to fight him. This is some bull****. He has 5 opponents that should come before anyone else in his weight class. Martinez, GGG, Lara, Trout, and pacquaio even tho hes not in the weightclass we all know that fight is legit. Why on earth people actually think that slow ass basic fighter garcia or the guy who gets outboxed by a flabby ass morales can beat him, god only knows.

great post

Floyd weighs 150-151 on fight night.

Hopkins, Toney and Jones did NOT weigh 170-171 when they were fighting at 175.

STFU ****** troll.

I suspect the Mayweather card will have an intriguing match-up on his undercard. So I suspect it'll be...

Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan
Shawn Porter vs. Keith Thurman
Erislandy Lara vs. Ishe Smith
Badou Jack vs. James DeGale

I rather see Mayweather fight Maidana though and then have the undercard match be Amir Khan vs. Lucas Matthysse at 140lbs.

What people seem to forget is that Mayweather is 37 years old, past his prime, whether we like it or not.

He stated in more than one occasion that he won't be involved in fights that he should have never taken (he mentioned Ali as an example of a fighter who went too far).

I find that Golovkin is out of the question, Lara would be a very difficult fight , the high risk low reward kind of fight. yet, from a boxing point of view that's imo the best / more challenging fight.

Apart from that, I think it's time to finally have Mayweather- Pacquiao, although they are both past their primes, especially Pac, due to his less conservative style.

Maidana and Khan are both pointless fights I find, at 147 (apart from Pac) I'd rather see him fight a Bradley or a Danny Garcia.

I agree Floyd should stop bloating non p4p fighters up the divisions, and Floyd should use his initiative and bloat himself up a bit.
Bloating up fighters is him just padding out his resume with recognisable names. But his resume is padded out enough now, he needs to think legacy considering its his last fights now.

Ali is a bad example (he had parkinsons while fighting) and fought far beyond his best years, but Floyd is at the peak of his abilities, when you are the no1 you are at the top of your game, and whether he is past his prime is all subjective, your as good as your last fight.

Floyd can stop whenever he wants but he hasn't done anything, any boxer hasn't done before him, so if he is thinking legacy you will have to take fights you aren't neccesarily comfortable with. Look at BH talkinga about Kovalev and he is every bit as dangerous as GGG

It is pretty much a law In boxing that the geniuses are almost always ******s. Think of it like an idiot savant.
