Comments Thread For: Espinoza: How Old Will Floyd Be Before People Stop Asking About Him Fighting?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Floyd was 38 when he fought Manny and Berto

Toney may have been 38 too. Though the point was that Bhop and Toney kept fighting past 40...Espinoza is a dork

They took multiple losses past 38.. Hopkins lost at least 5 times after 38.

Taylor twice
Calzaghe
Dawson
Kovalev
Smith

Boxing is about strictly keeping the 0? That’s like never accepting sports teams losing.

Bhop is a legend. Fighting at 50 with young dangerous fighters is what the coliseum was about

This is it right here and he does it because he is irrelevant so to make himself feel good he makes a ****** tweet about coming back or a hint then the spotlight is back in him because he does it to himself

To those crying about hatred and bs the fact remains if floyd were to unretire it should be to fight a prime boxer top 2 in whatever division he feels he can make the weight comfortably

No more he earned this bs because no he didn’t . The only thing he earned was a soft touch to retire and he took that as joke and everyone bought into it then he comes back for a circus show to fight Connor and was talking heavy about fighting a fawking wrestler in Khabib until Khabib called him out and publicly agreed to fight floyd only if one of the 12 rounds was ufc rules where floydie immediately went silent and rightfully so because let’s face If he would get killed

Floyd please stay retired you did earn the right to retire and enjoy your health and wealth

floyd certainly does enjoy his health and wealth but he is also an attention seeker, he likes people talking about him and so they should because of his record and talent, i dont hold it against him one bit for not fighting the likes of crawford for example, floyd too clever to put himself in a situation where he could lose, hes slipped a fair bit from his prime im sure so no point over exerting himself to fight a top boxer but then again imagine if he did come back and beat crawford, that would be the stuff of legends right there

Espinoza says people keep asking Floyd about fighting because:

1. People have a greater appreciation for a fighter's skills once they retire and want to see them display their skills one more time.

2. Because Floyd's skills haven't degraded or diminished.

No its not about the 0. Its knowing that past 38 years old, the odds of getting your ass kicked drastically increase.

As we see with everybody who fought over that age.

80% of hopkins losses came after 38.

Floyd does not want to commit to a FM training camp, he trains at such a extreme level I dont think he can get the hunger to train like that anymore, time out and age erodes us all.

This isn’t about acknowledging what’s the threshold for oldz. Its about how fighters perform when old. Bhop over Shumenov is legendary. Bhop fighting Krusher was like Mikey vs Spence. Bhop was still tagging Joe Smith Jr. Bhop played the wrong timing going so low on the ropes... and hit his hard on the floor at 51...

Bhop is the definition of a true warrior

B hop over shumenov was legendary? What was legendary about beating a guy with less than 20 fights and no resume to speak of before or after the hopkins fight? Shumenov was a cherry pick and nothing more. I can't believe you said that was legendary


B hop fighting kovalev was like mikey fighting spence? Wow....

The Kazakh is a 2 weight world champion. Bhop at 49 beating him is Superbad! Mikey couldn’t do anything to Spence. Mikey is more fluid like Bhop. Kovalev was too strong for Hop
