My body is breaking down - Ready made excuse or not?

[C'MONMANG']

Ok whatever you say. Dont let your hate keep you from the truth. Floyd is a known gym rat and you have no facts to prove me wrong so go ahead and call me names **** Boy.

gee his famous excuses for looking HORRIBLE AGAINST PAULIE SPADDY in sparring was...was...WAS..c'mon lets hear that FAMOUS excuse..

HE WAS OUTTA SHAPE.........


i aint saying Hop is more of a gym rat..well you know what, yeah i am ..for sure....42 and still fighting, you better believe it. go watch 24/7 ..floyd always eating candy..Hops dont do that

I understand your point but it all boils back down on how you took the line when Floyd stated it on 24/7. IMO I didnt take it as an excuse because he didnt seem to be discourged. (just my opinion on the matter) He was trying to get treatment for his "soft hands"

The thing that got me was one of the posters in this thread made a statement about Hopkins in Floyd. WTF just because Hopkins is fight at 42 that really doesnt mean Floyd have to. I seriously doubt Hopkins has the type of work ethic Floyd has so it kinda ludacris to compare the two IMO.

I know every fighters body goes through their deteriation phase but the show 24/7 is apart of their life and it just so happen Floyd went to therapy on the show. The point I'm trying to make some guys just look for the simple, smallest little thing to downplay Floyd (not talking about you)

I like you bro, but you know absolutely nothing about Hopkins. You've obviously never seen him train. Even at the age of 42 he's every damn bit as good as Mayweather with his training ethic. Hopkins is a true "gym rat" through and through, as is Mayweather. Meaning both fighers, eat, sleep, ****, and die in the gym.

This is why Bernard is able to fight at the age of 42. (and win)

his body breaking down.. is it an excuse? it very well could be, then again it could very well be happening. but i do know he shouldn't have done dancing with the stars if his body is breaking down like he says

He was interviewed just after the fight, and he said the rumours werent true. Then a few days, maybe even a week or so he said he did have hand problems leading up to the fight, but they didnt disrupt his training AT ALL. When the reporter said some people may see this as excuse making, and asked what he would like to say in reply, he said he didnt want to take anything away from Joe on what he described as "his night". He is a real man, humble and honest to the end, and gracious in defeat. It is just a pity the same cant be said for Mayweather.

On a side note: This has just come to me, bit off topic and I apologise, but do you think Floyd would get so much stick for being boring, a coward etc, if he wasnt such an arrogant little ****?

Ofcourse but i also think its because his the P4P best fighter in the world so people focus on him, I can tell you alot of arrogant fighters like james Toney..Carl froch (england)..Naz, People dont like you when you re successful and show it off.

your are right my friend.. he may very well be making excuses..

So going by some people's logic, Hatton is also trying to make an excuse in case he loses..By confessing binge drinking and eat??? His he trying to take away credit from Mayweather if he loses as well???

You may be right, but me personally I never kept up with Hopkins career like I do Floyd so it only a matter of opinions.

thats ALWAYS been the case with Hatton..

Floyd is just now saying his body is BREAKING DOWN, which may very well be the case, but if so, WHY ARE YOU DANCING WITH THE STARS BEFORE A BIG FIGHT..

ahem.

I accept your apology.

ahem.

Finally you're being reasonable. When you're not being a ****ing ******* you're a pretty good poster.

As a fan of Floyd I question that move also. The only logical explantion I could come up with was for promotion.
