People aren't giving Floyd a fair shake

Floyd is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Despite everything else, it was a little shocking he didn't straight up dominate. Only logical explanation must be that he's fallen off a cliff and age has really caught up to him.

He did straight up dominate....

Pointing out facts and logic is making excuses? Isn't he 44? Isn't he 50 pounds lighter? What gives you the impression that at 44, inactive, he should be able to do whatever you expect of him? What gives you the impression that outlanding his opponent isn't good enough for someone that age and that size? Your opinion is based on what? How many retired light weight "goats" have you seen fighting HW novices and knocking them out? You have no point of reference. You expected an outcome based on delusions, not facts of life.

i agree with your facts but everything you said would have been laughed at if you told floyd this just prior to the fight.

logan is just a mildy skilled amateur youtuber that floyd struggled with.

Yes he did. Landed twice as many punches despite throwing only 1/4th of the punches and walked down the bigger man. That's domination with pure skill. Quit sucking Logan's cock. The dude is a coward who challenges people he perceives as weak, small, slow and past prime so he can make a nome off them. He's a poser. No intention of becoming a real boxer. Raved about his power but couldn't KO grandpa midget. Pathetic. Floyd ate Logan's best shots and nothing happened. A HW vs a bloated WW. Let that sink in. Now imagine Logan against an active HW. Dude would get raped.

The dude has always been incredibly unpopular and people will hold on to anything they can to shit on him. I think the expectations were set too high, but that doesn't diminish his career achievements in any way.

1) Floyd is 44, retired, and has no obligation to perform at the level you expect from him. People get old and slow down pretty significally. If you can't understand and accept that, maybe you just don't know that much about boxing.

2) Floyd is small and hasn't been a KO artist since his mid 20's. He's also had multiple hand injuries. Why the hell were you expecting a KO against a guy 50 pounds heavier? Not that it couldn't happen, but why do you think that should be the expected outcome? Based on what? Do you think much superior skill should always translate in knockouts? It doesn't. If a guy is much bigger than you and has a great chin, he will be able to eat countless shots and survive.

3) Logan isn't just a Youtuber. He clearly has some skills and trains pretty hard. If you wanna see him against an average Joe, watch him destroy those 4 brothers like it was nothing. Sure, he isn't nearly as skilled as Floyd, but size and age can very significally decrease the effectiveness of superior skill.

4) The shocker isn't Floyd not being able to KO Logan, but the other way around. A 155 pound guy eating shots from a HW with no problem. Logan should be ashamed, not Floyd.

5) Floyd didn't look amazing, but he did outland Logan pretty significantly and even walked him down and pushed him around as if he was actually stronger. He also looked in better shape than Logan, at 44. If you can't see this as a respectful outcome given the size and age difference, you either have unrealistic expectations or you simply dislike the man and want reasons to hate on him.


The fact that Logan is proud that he didn't get finished by such a small and old guy is pretty pathetic. You should be ashamed that your supposed power amounted to nothing and you were back paddling against a grandpa who didnt even had a full training camp.

Floyd is hated even though he fought actual world champs, his size, in their prime. Imagine if his claim to fame was to survive 8 rounds with a retired fighter. Just let that sink in.

I'm actually impressed with both even though it was somewhat dull. there are many problems with this match though. mainly, its a slap in the face to real boxers that Paul walks in and gets a 20m pay day. But it's also part of the fans responsibility because we bought the fight bc it was a must see.

I'm impressed with Paul bc he went the distance with an all time great. Lots of caveats however. But the man did manage to promote himself and get that payday, so for that I have to Give him some credit. He's not a boxer, we all know that.

I'm also impressed with Floyd bc he took a huge risk by fighting at 44 years old against a somewhat athletic non-boxer who's 18 years younger and a big man in comparison to Floyd. in a rather large event. I guess some people expected floyd to walk through him. Maybe Floyd in his prime would have. But we have to remember age is a real thing and after 40 men tend to decline pretty fast in athletic ability.

I'll say this though, the Younger Paul has impressed me the most even though he's yet to face a real boxer. He's obviously got some skill level and is much better than his older brother Im not expecting woodley to talk through him. In fact, I could see Paul beat him.

Thanks for this post. I think the points that stick out for me.......
The difference in size, weight and age
The fact that Floyd has been retired for years and we don't even know if he trains seriously anymore
The damage Floyd has accumulated to his hands over the years.

Why are you defending Floyd then since his last three fights were against an MMA fighter, Japanese kickboxer, and youtuber? Isn’t he a coward for fighting lesser boxers?

geesh, that last clip...not that I could do any better, but for all of the training that Paul has supposedly done, it seems like he'd know how to punch. It looks like he's hitting Floyd with the palms of his gloves. If he'd brought that ferocity with proper punches, it may have reaped a better reward for him.

Exactly. Floyd didn't have the capacity to KO him. Accordingly, it was a point scoring contest trying to manage distance and keep a younger and much heavier opponent off of him. Job done.
 
I’m not surprised how this played out. I’m also not giving props to either guy. If anything, it exposes boxing as a flawed martial art. If Marcelo Garcia were to come out of retirement at 44 to grapple someone who’s only been grappling for 3 years, regardless of size, the novice would get embarrassed.

Also on another note, Paul annihilates Floyd in a real street fight lol.

He won, but he far from dominated imo. He got tagged several times and arguably lost a few rounds to Logan Paul. Let that sink in. Floyd made Canelo hit air and anything remotely resembling that version of him would have made Logan look absolutely foolish out there. How do you think Canelo vs Logan would go in a ring right now?

Logan Paul is a 0-1 fighter and Floyd is one of the greatest of all time and has made all time greats look like they didn't belong in the ring with him. The height, weight and reach difference shouldn't matter when levels are that far apart. Only explanation I can think of as I said is that Floyd has been on the decline for years and it caught up with him. Either way, it was a poor showing. It's not like Logan is even very talented. It had to happen at some point though.

You’re the reason these fights sell. You get emotional about what the Paul brothers say and do.
 
Khabib would have ate this boolshit guy

Floyd is 50-0 yet it’s shocking that 0-1-1 Logan wouldn’t be able to knock him out?
 
For every lb that Logan has on Floyd, Floyd almost has that many more years of boxing experience
