The excuse is people gas out when fighting Floyd, but why?

    ^ perfectly said. Nothing wrong with floyd. floyd seems very good and it all looks fine. i just wanna see it against someone great, who's in good condition.

      [QUOTELarryXXX;14786387]He has fought 13 current of former champions in a row..name [/QUOTE]

      In his lw and jww days yeah, but at 147 talk to somebody who don't know better...

      The knock on oscar and judah was that they gassed after 5 or 6 rounds waaaay before floyd fought em, so thats not much to brag about...it wasn't like floyd was landing viscous bodyshots on these dudes and laying em out flat after 6 or 7 rounds...

      Floyd gets good credit for who he is beating presently, which is some good not great fighters

        Serous threat like?? He is always fighting champions and fighters at the top of the division
        Now days there are 4 different organizations in which you can win a belt in. It's so much easier than back in the days. So their will be way more champions than before guys that would have never even been close to a title before have alot more chances of becoming Champsnow . Also Floyd picks who he fights he doesn't really fight mandatories so he picks good solid fighter who was or is a champion but no necessarily the best fighter available. Be honest and when was the last time he chose to fight a TOP fighter in his prime?

          Floyd's most impressive opponent has been Canelo or Corrales (two good, not great fighter). I wanna say it was Cotto but then i've been convinced by the floyd fans that he still had margarito and pacquiao problems when he fought floyd, so it doesnt count.

              Canelo hasn'teven hit his yet, but ok count Catchweight canelo who else? 2007 hatton? Before then what his lightweight days? I don't really consider canelo top guy yet itthought he lost to lara and his best win is a controversial one vs trout

                Canelo was 23 and growing and Floyd took him down to 152. That's not prime condition. And anyway, even if it was, Canelo isnt legendary or great by any means. He's barely getting by fighters like Austin Trout.

                    A drained Canelo. Making 152 made him look terrible.

                      Victor Conte criticizes Floyd Mayweather's USADA drug tests


                      Thomas Hauser Article on Floyd Mayweather Jr's Failed Drug Tests

                      http://www.maxboxing.com/news/main-l...-mess-part-one

                      "On May 20, 2012, a rumor filtered through the drug-testing community that Mayweather had tested positive on three occasions for an illegal performance-enhancing drug.

                      More specifically, it was rumored that Mayweather’s “A” sample had tested positive on three occasions and, after each positive test, USADA had found exceptional circumstances in the form of inadvertent use and gave Floyd a waiver. This waiver, according to the rumor, negated the need for a test of Floyd’s “B” sample. And because the “B” sample was never tested, a loophole in USADA’s contract with Mayweather and Golden Boy allowed the testing to proceed without the positive “A” sample results being reported to Mayweather’s opponent or the Nevada State Athletic Commission (which had jurisdiction over the fights).

                      I do know that, if Mayweather’s “A” sample tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug on one or more occasions and he was given a waiver by USADA that concealed this fact from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, his opponent and the public, we have an ingredient that could contribute to the making of a scandal."
