He's doneI dunno, dude could legit make a new career off of fighting bums who think they have a chance at beating him. There's still so many idiots willing to pay to see him lose.
U cantA bet of when you are going to knock someone out is a bet on yourself.
Fighters carrying other fighters is widely known about in boxing.
Stop it. Those were not his hardest punches. Imo, he needs to train with an actual boxing trainer and learn how to throw real punches amd incorporate that into his ufc gmI tried to explain this to casuals. Boxing power is a different animal. Conor learned last night that MMA power is not boxing power in terms of giving and receiving. I mean c'mon, a 40 year old, rusty Floyd was visibly affecting Conor with JABS. Meanwhile, Floyd walked through Conor's hardest punches. I remember maybe three punches Conor landed that made Floyd pause in the entire fight.
Ever shake a boxers hand? You'll feel how much power these nikkas have just from that alone, even if they're little as fukk.
This is besides the point. You're cosigning this thread saying that his skills have faded. Him not cleaning out the 54 division has nothing to do with his skills. He's not even a 54 fighter, he's too small. He's never even came in the ring at the 54 limit. He has taken certain big money fights at that weight...........because he can.Name a top fighter at 154 that Floyd ever fought, without a catchweight?
Can't think of one can you?
Again, what's your point? He wasn't calling those guys out 5-10 years ago either because the reward of beating them didn't match or exceed the risk. This has nothing to do with skills and everything to do with size.There is a reason for that. And there have been good Jr. MWs: Lara, Charlos, Trout, and Andrade to name a few. Never called our there names never tried to fight them and we know why.
You keep repeating this over and over as if it somehow proves your point that his skills have declined to the point that he can't compete with the best anymore and that's just stupid. He only wanted to fight mcgregor because the reward was much much higher than the risk and he couldn't turn down the pay-day. He wore the ski mask in the ring to signify how he was robbing the bank. Mcgregor was a money-grab.Floyd said it himself ringside on a Showtime card he was promoting that he doesn't want to fight actual boxers, he only wanted to fight McGregor.
Again, I'm not arguing with the words you are putting in Floyd's mouth. This is you talking not Floyd. I don't agree with you. You sound silly.Floyd knows he is at the point were against real high level boxers, with more athleticism and more energy he wouldn't be able to fight and fight how he wants to fight anymore. Which is why he retired and only came back for this ridiculous exhibition with a 300 mil payday
I literally said Floyd didn't fight any actual top 154 fighters and I named top 154 fighters during his activity.Why the hell would floyd call out any of those fighters?
You sound irrational
The general public doesn't no who any of those guys are
Floyd fought cotto at 154 no catchweight btw
Yes. I think Floyd is a GOAT.Floyd controlled the fight from start to finish get over it breh
My comment about 154 was specifically to address your contention that Floyd could compete at 154, he can't and he never really has been able to compete at the top level of 154. So if you paid attention you would see I talked about 154 and 147.This is besides the point. You're cosigning this thread saying that his skills have faded. Him not cleaning out the 54 division has nothing to do with his skills. He's not even a 54 fighter, he's too small. He's never even came in the ring at the 54 limit.

Back on the topic, there's nothing in last night's fight that indicated that Floyd's skills have declined to the point that he wouldn't be a fav to beat everybody at 47-54.
(In hindsight T.I. would have gotten murdered by Floyd)
