While these words sound so simple and unimportant, they mean a lot coming from the best boxer in the world today. All fighters take heed!
"Boxing is an art-where I don't have to be the strongest...I don't have to be the fastest...I don't have to have the best footwork...but I, I got the best mind. Like I always say, it's Chess, I know how to win"!

You shouldn't ask such leading questions on this site.....they just absolutely beg for an answer like above.

Franky does have a good point, though. Floyd is very intelligent in and out of the ring. It has made him $$$ and a living legend.
I, like a lot of boxing fans, wish he were a bit more reckless in and out of the ring (i.e. taking on tougher opponents & willing to exchange more). Although, I'm not the one taking the punches; he is.

Originally posted by Frank Ducketts View PostI just don't know who the tougher opponents are when people say that. You saw his hand on all access. The exchange days are over unless someone can force the issue.
I agree about his hands. I think they've been donezo for a while now. I think truly think he could have KO'd his last few opponents (except for Mosley) if his hands weren't obliterated.

Originally posted by robust_ View PostWell at this point it's essentially talking in hindsight. He didn't take on some of the big names in his division when they were in their prime: Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao. The part that bothers me about that, I'm not saying he ducked or anything, is that he would have been a favorite in ALL of those fights and PROBABLY would have won them all. Those missed opportunities hurt his legacy. However, NOW, in the present, he is taking his biggest challenge in Canelo. So, I cannot criticize his current opponents that much. Now that he is on his way out of the sport (I don't think he'll fight until he's 40), he SHOULD get to choose easier fights to end his career. However, I hope he challenges himself, like he did be taking on Canelo, and continues to pursue tough fights. I think they're best for his long-term legacy and his bank account.
