    This is why Floyd never travelled. If he thought he might be robbed he would try take it to hoimetiwn boy. That's when he would get caught as he's no good coming foireward.
    That's why he doesn't quite crack top ten atg

          I'm sure Floyd did do thast four shirt periods of the fight but only because he knew he was ahead.
          Could Floyd do that while thinking he is behind cos judges are gonna rob him and give decisuidecisuion to hometown boy?
          Could Floyd do that for 12 rounfds?

            You need to watch more Floyd fights.

            Floyd has been the aggressor plenty of times.

              He could if he needed to. Hes a complete fighter he does what he needs to win.

                I don't think Floyd can. Thinking judges will rob panicks you. Floyd is no good at chasing kos.
                He says he will ko opponents but doesn't even try to!
                Floyd does what he needs to win does he? Well he needs a ko to win in someone's backyard and Floyd can't do that.

                  Yeah, apparently there are a lot of people who watched like 3 Mayweather fights in his entire career. He has walked down and beaten up plenty of fighters.

                    to beat Floyd, you can't run on the backfoot. That's the header for scoring sheets

                      He was the aggressor against Judah and beat him up.
                      He was the aggressor against Gatti and wrecked him.
                      He was the aggressor for most of the Mosley fight.

                      He took the lead plenty of times in his career, and was highly effective.
