    5 Weeks Remaining For Floyd's Opponent To Train Hard. Get Moving Candidates!

    So we know that if you're a possible pick in a Floyd's fight you should train ahead by now. But the real question is, can you really train as hard as you can knowing that you don't really know or have an inkling if you got the chance to get picked?

    What if Thurman or Porter or kell, who truly does not expect it, had been chosen and didn't really actually train ahead? Who's the loser again here? We fans huh? Because at the end of the day, Thurman can say he only trained for a month to fight floyd while floyd has been grinding the gym like a stallion for 3 months ahead knowing fully well who he is intending to fight with.

    If the plan is still to fight on September 12 then it really is ridiculous that the fight hasn't been announced fight no matter what side of the fence you're on. I'm starting to get the feeling he won't be fighting next month.

      Andre Berto has been in training camp since early July I believe.

        The more time they spend not announcing the fight, the more I think it will be on free CBS.

              WE READY. Gennady is willing to fight floyd and then go back to training for his fight on October with Lemieux. We ready, dont duck us son.

                Can't see it.

                Push it back to when?

                September 12th (Mexican independence day) is one of the biggest weekends for Boxing. No way he pushes it back, IMO.

                We will soon find out.

                    LOL. No, that is completely impossible.

                    You can't put something on freaking CBS, on primetime with 5 weeks notice, no marketing, and no commercials sold.

                    You need a long lead time to sell commercials. That time slot is already sold to something else, and the commercial space sold.

                    It's just going to be some bullshlt PPV fight very few will watch and we'll never get the real numbers of course.
