Decide on how close a fight is by looking at pics and gifs of punches being landed brehs.

seriously i clowned him about that stupid shyt...like there's a website out there that makes numerous gifs of highlights of one 12 year old fight ::stopitslime:

and even more hilarious to me is him referring to those 2 floyd-castillo fights as "big fights" that he watched "dozens of times":...:huh: why? other than the notoriety of floyd getting a gift and facing that same fighter in his lone rematch..there's nothing interesting about those 2 fights at all to watch "dozens of times" :russ:

yall notice how everytime floyd gets hit with a strong punch, loses a round, or there's debate on whether he won (only in castillo's case really) he gets offended and immediately comes back stronger and sharper?
i've never seen this guy look discouraged in the ring once
his heart is very underated
Yup Mosley fight is the perfect example of that. Also, re-watched the Guerrero fight last night :obama: he beat the shyt out of a very prepared Guerrero--that right hand was sickening specifically the different ways he was throwing it.

I can go many ways with this. However, its his concentration in the ring that always leaves me in awe. Nothing throws him off of his game.
Even when buzzed he's keeping eye contact and is in full control of his bearings when to grab, where to grab you at, how to push off, and when to fire back, now thats the shyt you can't teach

Not just that, the gameplan. When he dropped Dinamita in the second round, I just knew Floyd was going to go in even harder. No, it was business as usual. I would have gotten excited and went for the KO. Floyd is so good, he doesn't have to press, to push for something that might or might not be there. He negates your best thing that you do and just goes from there systematically.

The fight versus Hatton. Why? The pressure of many people (casual mostly, who are the biggest builders of bandwagons) thinking he would lose and WANTING him to lose, especially to a WHITE breh from Europe, it seems like the world (except us brehs) was against him, the pre fight hype was DOPE! Anyway, the way Floyd systematically broke Hatton down was masterful. Hatton was relentlessly applying pressure from the start even to when he got KO'd, Floyd showed that he could fight going backwards, his footwork and ring generalship was ill. Those lead rights and jabs to the stomach Hatton ate are what did him in. I feel he forced Floyd to dig down in his arsenal and use that check hook. That fight right there I thought was the topping on the cake in how I regarded Floyd as a fighter, until he rebounded with force vs. Shane.
