    Floyd's Chin, Defense, and Offense

    I told you guys that you were all overeacting to the Corley fight. The guy won every round and dropped Chop twice. I told you that Chop would actually hurt him more then Zoo and Cotto because he is a lefty. It's not his power that hurt Floyd. He was hurt because he got hit while he was swinging and the other time he had a perfect D and still got hit square on the chin because Chop is a left hand crouch fighter. Mitchell leans back and Spinks stands straight up so they wouldnt be able to hurt Floyd but Chop crouches over and can catch you with sneaky punches. A right hand fighter will never hit Floyd that flush and if he did it wouldnt hurt that much because he would see it coming and be prepared for it.

    I also told you that the kids D is the best. You say he's been getting hit more lately but thats bull****. He shutout Brusseles, N'Dou, and Corley. The only time he gets hit is when he lets you and he rolls the punches. I told you that you can still be more offensive and have a tight D. Being offensive doesnt change your D. The only reason why he got hit is because Chop was a southpaw.

    I told all of you that he will sitdown and trade with him. All of you said that Floyd wouldnt stay offensive but you guys dont get it. Floyd was trained by his father his whole life. His father is a defensive trainer. After the Chico fight his uncle who is a offensive guy became his trainer. It's hard to be doing something one way your whole life and the all of a sudden switch. Thats why Floyd looked kind of ****ty for the next few fights. He would be offensive but only in spurts. You could tell that he was uncomfertable and even looked a littile scared of himself. It's like you dont know you can do something until your forced too. If you look at the Sosa fight he couldve KO this guy. Everytime he did a spurt he wobbled him but he never continued. Finally in the N'Dou fight he converted to his uncles style all the way and he found out that he liked it. Thats why he's more offensive. People dont understand that it takes a while to make that transition. Now he feels like he can sit in the pocket with anyone and get the best of them because of his defense and his pinpoint counter punching. He will box more against Cotto and Zoo but he will still sitdown and trade alot. He will trade a whole lot against Gatti and give Gatti his best chance which is to knock Floyd out but Floyd will beat him at his own game and destroy him toe to toe in the pocket

    I have to agree, PBF is boxing personified.

          I agree. If Floyd stays in the pocket against Tszyu he will be mauled. PBF should stay outside of Tszyu's range or he'll do the same dance Zab did.

                Hopefully the Tzsyu fight will come off by the year's end. First I want to see him fight Gatti though. I like Gatti, and he's fun to watch, but he should'nt be a champ; Floyd can easily take care of that problem.

                  And like a fine wine.....Hatton will treat him with the upmost respect savouring every mouthful before finishing every drop, until the glass lies empty on the table.
