Wow all these Floyd haters saying that he is ducking fights and fighting hand picked fighters. But I seem to remember not to long ago Floyd wanted Manny to take a drug test and Manny refused and then Floyed offered him 40 million and Manny refused that also but now all of the sudden Manny says that he would fight for free? Really Really LoL and who has Manny fought that was a worthy fighter I guess Brando Rios LOL. WOW Manny is TBE LOL. Please stop the hate Manny is a OK fighter he made almost eveyone that he fought lose weight who does that? Floyd fought everyone at the weight that they was comfortable at except Canelo which I could under stand because he is really a middleweight.

“I can see the shots,” said Mayweather. "Actually, I can feel when a guy’s going to punch. I can feel it. I don’t even have to see it; I can feel it. You know, this is just with experience and being around the sport so long. I can just feel a guy when he’s going to shoot his shot. A lot of times guys telegraph their shot. Their body language gives away when they’re going to shoot because of how they position themselves.

A rare articulate moment for Floyd. Good quote.

So Manny has lost, fought Rios, hasn't ko anyone in a while, this n that. Who has May fought? Robert Guerrero, untested Canelo, has ko who? Hatton in the 10th, sucka punched Ortiz to ko him, went all 12 with a battered down Cotto, almost got ko by Mosley good thing he hanged on him. But will beat Pac man? GTFOH with your wet dreams.

Floyd has room to be more aggressive in this fight
Maidana is a slower guy who swings wild
but because he'll walk in all night, Floyd doesn't need to go in on him
Floyd's right to stay patient and just take him apart rd by rd
gonna look for a bit more body work from Floyd in this fight
if he can dig in downstairs, he can certainly stop Maidana late

Khan mess around and get beat, MW have to look for another opponent at the end of the year.

Don't waste your breath or time dealing with the Floyd-haters. 95% of them know zip about boxing so its not even worthwhile discussion. I've been a boxing fan long enough to know that certain fighters are going to be hated no matter who they fight. Undefeated fighters get the most hate actually, Floyd, Calzaghe and I have read articles of how even the greatest Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis were hated on when they were undefeated. Roy Jones Jr. was hated on, Sugar Ray Leonard as well. People seem to think that if you are undefeated you are protected or cherry picking. In certain cases it is true (Sven Ottke). What makes me laugh is that Floyd called out prime Mosley and Cotto and neither wanted part at that time (or their promoters did not). I am not going to say its racism (I am white btw) but people with loudmouths like Ali, Floyd, Toney, Bhop are just hated with passion, regardless of how much better they are than their competition. But fighters like Pac, Gatti, (all Mexicans) are loved because of their face first, brawling style. This proves that most fans know nothing about the sweet science at all, and have watched too many Rocky movies or too much garbage MMA. Fighters like Floyd are once in a generation talent and anyone with a brain and real boxing knowledge knows that. I am not saying Floyd can't lose, its boxing, anything can happen...and all the haters are waiting on the edge of their seats im sure lol.
