    Mayweather does start slow. He even lost the first two rounds with Guerrero. Losing first two rounds in Rio and you lose the fight.

      Based on what? I doubt any fighters from this years Olympics are as good as Floyd was. The only way Floyd struggles is with a shady judges.

          Floyd barely loses rounds as a pro so I doubt it.

            Mayweather only starts slow when he is anticipating an easy fight. He started slow in Maidana 1 but look what happened in Maidana 2? Look what happened when he fought Pacquiao and look what he did to Cotto in the first 5/6 rounds.

            He knows how to start fast when he knows he has to or when he wants to make a statement.

              Lol yeah he's not adapted to that system and he's old

              He got a medal when he was younger.

              I don't like Floyd but wasn't he screwed out of a gold medal?

                  But pros are preserving for 12 rounds. Ams go all out for 3.

                    Why does it even matter
                    Let the pros stick to the paid ranks

                    Almost as bad as
                    "I bet MMA fighters could beat (insert boxer) at MMA
