    Floyd has so many dimensions he choses the way he wants to fight.
    As a natural counter puncher, he surely is not elite when being on the front foot. It took him quite some time to find accuracy and an appropriate distance in that pressure style. Having said that, I think he would have still been elite if he chose to fight passively.

      God dam dude, the man is 41 and been out for 2 yrs and not near what he was and Connor is a giant by comparison, go look at vintage FM starting with Corrales and Gatti, that Floyd takes Connor out in a round.

      Floyds been on the slide since the first Maidana fight.

        Retired 40 years old/150 pounds/soft puncher Floyd Mayweather toyed with then stopped the 170 pounds big puncher/white hero Maggot McBum!

          You didn't disagree with me, stop whining. He's now at 41 yo and is not elite. For the last 10 years he's no longer pressuring opponents so you can pretty much say he's a natural passive defensive fighter. There's nothing bad about it. Saying that Conor is a giant is irrelevant, he is a novice with a 0-0 pro record. Eating punches on the way to break Conor while missing shots and walking in straight lines is not elite, let's agree on that.

            This headline is misleading. I saw this statement live. Ward wasn't being very critical at all. He was actually praising Floyd. This write up, takes that comment way out of context.

            This is an example of trying to spin a quote into something it's not. Poor form, but what should I expect from the author who won't even use his real name?

              Floyd definitely is showing his age. But, he's been doing that for some time now. You can't really get a good gage as to where Floyd really is based on this fight. Dude basically fought like Margarito. Was it because he can no longer fight like Floyd Mayweather? Or is it because he had absolutely nothing in front of him? Probably a little of both. But I think it's more the latter.

                In some sort of twisted triangulation logic, Conor lasting 10 and landing more shots than other opponents Floyd faced means that PAC could beat Floyd in slow motion, and would prove in some **** ****** way that GGG is the best ever. In a nutshell, Floyd ruined their lives.

                they look for ways to lessen the pain they live with because Floyd hurt them.

                Spoon23 is looking to buy an anatomically correct Connor companion doll, with a constantly hard ****. He sat his PAC doll down and explained that Conor would be arriving soon, and it wouldn't mean his love for his PAC doll faded.

                Spoon. Will post slow motion videos soon... They are coming.

                  LMAO!

                  Now I'm imagining Ward sitting ringside shaking his head and tut-tutting over all those great nut-shot chances that Floyd didn't take ..

                    Floyd shut down Pac hands down. Why do you spew all this bs talking about irrelevant Pac and gay stuff?

                      I expected Floyd to beat Conor like Gatti (R.I.P.) & stop him around the 9,10,11th. I guess he has slow a little bit. At least he still goes out on top. T.B.E.!
