Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Want To Help Young Fighters, Find The Next Floyd

Focus on tank, badou jack and kevin newman floyd.... All 3 have championship potential...

Jack is too old I think to be the next Floyd, but I loved his performance last night & I think he was the guy who came out looking the best off of the whole PPV.

Newman got dropped & beat last night & he's done nothing in the pro game so far so thats not a good sign for a guy with 9 fights.

Tank is the best bet, but he needs to quit f#cking playing around & take sh^t serious.

That new kid Daquan Mays might be someone to watch when he turns pro, but I think he might be like J'Leon Love & doing modeling & sh^t to so who knows how serious he really is, but he has competed at the WSB level & he supposedly gave Floyd good sparring which seems to be one of the things that legitimized Errol Spence before he legitimized himself in the Kell Brook fight.

I was really disappointed in Tank Davis. Losing his IBF belt like that and the lack luster performance he put in. SMH I hope things like that do not become a pattern with this kid. He should know better than to let what happened happen.

Hopefully we won't see something like this again from Tank.

100%. Tank is young enough that if he uses this as a learning experience its a bump in the road, but if he doesn't learn from this he could lean more towards becoming the next Broner type guy I don't think its unreasonable to say.

Personally I think as long as he's with Floyd Floyd will look out for him & steer him in the right direction more than anyone else.

I do think Floyd needs to stay out of corners so his training remarks in his post fight presser are scary to hear cuz I think he's gotta let go of his ego to do that gig & idk if he's capable of that or looking at things from the fighters POV only his insanely talented boxer POV which isn't something many guys he'll ever promote will be capable of achieving.

So I hope he doesn't have designs on working a coup on Tank's current team although if Tank got with Lou Del Valle, who's done a ****up job with Badou, that might not be a awful decision or just anyone who can keep Tank more focused then his current team seemed to do during this last training camp. I mean ultimately its on Tank, but as the trainer you need to be manning up your guy if he's bsing & doing that to the point of calling off the fight if he's sick, not taking things serious, not able to make weight or a bunch of other issues that Tank may or may not have been having in the led in to Saturday.

But if things go south with Floyd I think Tank will be a Broner type guy unless he gets picked up by someone who gives a f#ck about him & has an eye on him a lil more than normal cuz anyone with a neck tattoo isn't the best decision maker to me as old man-ish as that might be to say lmfao. Andre Ward &/or Virgil Hunter might be a good team for him to get with if things go south with Floyd. If he ends up on About Billions he'll probably be killed in a shootout over a stripper by age 26.
