Floyd is just another Roy jones to me ... both roy and jones havent fought the best, they moved up in weight too late... and they are always ducking people ... shane and delahoya has never ducked anyone and thats why they have loses . They best lose, because they want to tbe best

      As stated by many others. Even the best can have a slip or grow old.

        I think that Mayweather has faught the best that were willing in each weightclass he's been in, but for people to stop talking s#$t he need to keep it up. IMHO i know that it's very rare that someone can retire undefeated, but I think that Mayweather has a real shot at it.

          Floyd has already showed plenty of vulnerability vs Castillo, although he may have been injured in the 1st fight.

          Floyd might let his ego get the best of him, and decide to drop muscle like Roy did and that could cost him in the long term. Your body never recovers from that, and it's especially worse when you're old. Floyd could be 154 lbs champ and try to drop to 140 and get his ass waxed by some young buck.

          But it's possible that Floyd will go undefeated...just depends on who he fights, and his age.

            even if he beats delahoya so what? he waited to long to finally move up in weight, floyd waited til everybody in that division got old or took a few loses... in my opinion, floyd needs to fight Cotto,shane, delahoya,margarito, and every other tough fight available if he doesn't then he wont get remembered for anything. Floyd is just another Roy jones to me ... both roy and jones havent fought the best, they moved up in weight too late... and they are always ducking people ... shane and delahoya has never ducked anyone and thats why they have loses .

            Both Roy and Floyd already have plenty of good names on their ledger. In each case of supposed 'ducking' in Roy's career, you can make a good argument that he did not duck. The people that say this the most are often the type who just watch Roy to watch him lose.

            Roy fought McCallum, Hill, Tarver, Johnson, Ruiz, Woods, Paz, Castro, Toney, Hopkins, Harding, Reggie Johnson, etc,

            Floyd so far has Chavez, Castillo, Carlos & Genero Hernandez, Judah, Corrales, Augustus, Corley, Manfredy...a good solid record.

            But yes, both have had periods of stagnancy. That doesn't mean they won't make it up or that they didn't. Nor does it mean they ducked anyone.

                He's already HOF material. You can't be serious.

                  Look who's in the HOF, sir.

                  It's not exactly saved for strictly elite fighters.

                      Jesus give him time, he cant fight every week. He has already beat up alot of good fighters,and hes got pleanty of time to beat up the rest. I hope he fights Hatton soon so all the Britts on the Hatton bandwagon can see just how far away Hatton is. Hatton would be nothing more than a punching bag for Floyd. Floyd is as close to an unbeatable fighter as we have in the sport right now.
