I think I heard him say it 2 or 3 fights ago?

He is in the same stage many fighters are in, where they only fight for the money. Obviously the difference is Floyd is still very good at what he does.

What's funny?

by RealGunner Mon Sep 14, 2015 9:42 pm

Yet to see the fight. I'll do it at some point but doesn't sound really exciting.

Still think he'll make a return at some point.

But for now, easily one of the GOATS. One of the best careers for a boxer.

lol why would you bother watching the fight now. Believe me the way you imagine it now in your head, is the way it went. There wasn't even one instance of a flury of combos.

by RealGunner Mon Sep 14, 2015 10:49 pm

Because it's his last fight? Not watching it for anything else but that.

by The Franchise Tue Sep 15, 2015 12:17 pm

The last 2 rounds were great in my opinion. The rest was Floyd being Floyd and winning rounds, but the last 2 were really good. It seemed like his last fight the way he fought it, the last 2 rounds he started putting together alot of offence (contrary to what El Gunner says) and playing around with Berto.

people have said that about Floyd for years yet he can and does still make people look silly in the ring.

by The Franchise Tue Sep 15, 2015 12:28 pm

That's because he is one of the best of all time.

But it is certainly true he doesnt love boxing any more.

Yes the intensity was up in those last 2 rounds but he was still boxing in a controlled manner. If you want to watch him gloating and dancing around for the last two rounds then fine. Nothing eventful or memorable happened.

by The Franchise Tue Sep 15, 2015 4:04 pm

So your saying he wasnt throwing combinations and clearly hurt Berto?

RG hopefully will watch the fight and have his own opinion, I think the last 2 rounds were good in terms of Floyd letting punches go.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Sep 15, 2015 4:08 pm

RG is a Khan fan so his opinion doesn't count imo.

by Abramovich Tue Sep 15, 2015 4:47 pm

I'll be very surprised if we don't see Floyd fighting next year.

how does Khan keep a strait face when he says Mayweather has dodged him. :facepalm:

Mayweather could tell khan what punch he was about to throw and he would still land them. the shit khan talks is nothing short of embarrassing. do people forget the time khan got knocked out like a light bulb by a nobody. its a known fact that arabs have a weak chin. one good shot puts then on their ass.

by The Franchise Wed Sep 16, 2015 12:20 am

Well Khan, just like Fury, just like Haye, just like Prince Hamed, just like Calzaghe....is just another UK fighter who talk as much as possible without any semblance of sense or logic.

true. the days gone by when fighters like benn eubanks and wattson are gone. Sad

Klit - Fury postponed due to injury to Klit.

I think Fury is a bum, but he could seriously win this fight because Klitschko is close to being finished.

fury is a fellow gypsy lad so I have to support him but boy does he get on my nerves. :facepalm:

"Amir Khan vs Manny Pacquiao: Bob Arum confirms talks over potential early 2016 bout"

holy shittttt :bow:

Finally Khan fights someone big

by The Franchise Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:37 pm

I predict the end of Manny if this happens. Khan is too fresh and too fast.

The one and only hope for Manny is that Khan goes into "come at me bro" mode and Manny takes him down.

Kell Brook should just move on tbh, should fight some of the other "top" welterweights in division.

He should be fighting in the States exclusively already tbh.

by Abramovich Wed Sep 30, 2015 10:44 pm

By end of 2016 Kell will prove himself as #1 in the division, no doubts about that.

by izzy Thu Oct 01, 2015 12:02 pm

I don't know about all that, but he hasn't really done anything since his Porter win (I know, he was stabbed).

Honestly, the whole division are just avoiding each other, all of them are scared of what might happen to their reputations if they lose.
