As a Floyd Fan, Are You Truly Impressed?

[ippo]

I am very Impressed.

Floyd is younger than me. You see ...none of you birch asses never had the blessing of boc=xing.

This is tough. which is why many fighters resort to juicing.

Floyd is what a great boxer looks like aging gradually

I can't speak for everyone else........

nah hes juicing also.Everyone in sports juices at one time or another.I don't think anyone is clean anymore.

fight looked eerily similar to the Canelo fight

it was because Garcia had Marcos "conserving his energy", which did nothing, except give Floyd more rounds to bank early on

everytime he pushed floyd to the ropes, he would nullify Floyd's offense in the first fight

this time, he decided he would try to counter-punch Floyd in the center of the ring or just eat straight right-hands

idiotic gameplan from robert garcia, what an overrated trainer

Totally agree... Horrible gameplan of going slow early to try and conserve energy.. Maidana needed to pounce early and not let Floyd get into his comfort zone. All he did was allow Floyd to takeover

[tangalog2200]

NOPE


I gave him the 12th and he technically didnt "win" that round. Floyd gave it to him.


I had it 11-1 Floyd.

no question Floyd comfortably won this time...

but 11-1? that's fanatical blindness....

yes, that in a nutshell is the difference between the first and the rematch...

Floyd did won both; just toyed in the first to set-up the rematch...a genius on setting-up and hyping up fights....

though some slippages were beginning to show...

I might aswell be the one to bring this up, but when Pac beat Bradley in the rematch, and the same question came up many stated that it was hard to look good against bradley. . . and to be fair, recently it's hard to also look good against maidana. . . people knock floyd for having no heart or being inna war, but in some fights you just gotta find away to win, even if it doesn't look pretty. (granted there were a few laps around the olympic sized swimming pool of a boxing ring)

I do see some decline in floyd though, and I think he wasn't impressed with his own performance either.

Post conference he graded himseld with a C-. For me Id say a C+. Floyd hasnt really had much punching power at 47 but his punches seemed lacking pop.

Looking more like B Hop. Landing right hands and initiating the clinch. Didnt really enjoy the fight tonite. Glad I didn't pay for them

But Hopkins can, so if Floyd is as great as he says he is, why can't he do what old man Hopkins can?

Hopkins didn't start fighting at the top
Level until he was almost 30 years old that's why.

He was considered green at 28 years old.

It's the pot he was smoking. It does slow you down when your burnt out. Floyd's ordinary now. Khan and Alexander did way better against Maidana. Think about that for a second. Khan wouldve beat the Floyd that fought tonight by simply outboxing. Floyd looked very vulnerable.

When did you start watching boxing? Every post I see from you screams teenager, newbie or scary enough...both.

You do know Khan NEVER fought Maidana at 147 right?

You do know Alexander didnt either right?

You know this is Floyds 18th year and hes 38 right?


Right?

[Free Booty Dew!]

I hope the clever trickster Roach catches Floyd when he's shot...

And we see a DLH-Pac type beatdown by Pac when he faces Floyd...

But Hopkins can, so if Floyd is as great as he says he is, why can't he do what old man Hopkins can?

The interesting thing is, people always said Floyd was more skilled than Roy Jones because he didn't rely as much on athleticism and would fall back on technique when he aged. I think the last couple of performances show that Floyd has always been reliant on his tremendous athleticism, particularly reflexes and speed.

I will say though, Hopkins is a freak, an anomaly, an outlier. Comparing anyone to him is not really fair.
