I took a few swimming lessons ... doesn't mean I know **** about swimming lol... where do these people come from...?

Another ignorant fan. So fighters that get old and need testosterone can use it to fight since he is at the end of his career and needs help? Many black people here defend Floyd to the death, you are true ride or die fans but in the end you're just groupies worshipping one person. I can't argue with fake boxing fans. I bet you all were Heat fans too and now switched lol

Ignorant fan how ...? I'm a fan of the sport and have been in it since I could walk .. what have you done around boxing aside from type and contribute to these forums..? .. I'm a retired pro fighter

You are the ignorant fan ... type away ..

sorry ill give you the respect of the gloves cause you put them on a COUPLE of times in your life.. but it clearly wasn't much so for you to make any reference to that backyard fighting and act like you know is a little outlandish

Larry, horse hair gloves are probably healthier for a fighter to get hit with over foam gloves. I would rather get knocked out clean and stopped, than to get hit repeatedly and dizzy for all 12 rounds. Sometimes what appears to be safer, isn't. Bringing back bare knuckle fighting would probably be the safest rule to bring back to the sport, but that will never happen.

Truth.....

Floyd can't wear punchers gloves due to his brittle hands or else he would be the first one wearing them. So please take one of these!

Dirty tactics: Floyd said that his dirty tactics are OK but not Maidana's. Take another one of these!

Boxers should be the only ones allows to say this health comes first ****. Boxers and promoters and everyone else in the are looking out for themselves and there's nothing wrong with that. Then as a fan there should be nothing wrong with me wanting Corrales Castillo type fights or fights not ending in Sucker punches.

It's hard to relate directly to those who only experience boxing from viewing a television set or by sitting in the nose bleed seats at which ever fights.

Plain and simple, they just don't know any better.

"thousands of fighters have died or suffered injuries because of negligence, cheaters, and PEDs" ***(I do question this though)***

as an amateur fighter it's health first for me. no lie.

Hit and don't be hit, and I am good at it.

One thing I will never do is make excuses though, part of the game or not, if I was at the elite level, my opponent can wear whatever he wants, if I show that I care, I show that I am weak.

Lol, He reuined Ortiz's career.

That credit goes to Maidana. Ortiz, much like Algieri with Manny or Ghost with Floyd, had no business getting that payday or fame.

Hey larry, why keep asking how many of us have boxed like it matters when determining if one's a ***** or not...

Holmes, duran, leonard ,etc, and lately robert garcia all boxed and they think floyd is a puzzy so take it for all its worth

[Ham Porter]

Mayweather cultists don't care about steroids anymore, that's old news. The next great crusade is to rid boxing of all gloves not deemed appropriate or suitable for combat by Master Floyd himself.

THIS IS BOXING. WHY TAKE UP ON THE SPORT WITH THAT MINDSET? retire move on let the real man fight. And when the hell has anyone felt guilty or pressured for seeing someone hurt, its all part of the sport. Boxers make good money its up to them to figure out what to do for when they retire. If you dont want to get hit or take punishment get out of boxing......

thank you! :bowdown:
