A bit of an over-reaction to be honest.

i think a draw for most fights is around 33/1, i think canelo is the type of fighter that could give floyd trouble, like castilo and odh did, but i still think floyd is too much for him at this stage in canelo's career. never know though!

Floyd can't go on forever and one day if he carries on he will fall apart and Saturday could be the night, 25/1 seems to be the odds for the draw so the bookies may be a bit wary ?

He still lives clean and trains like a man possessed though, but your right hes not getting any younger, but also you can see Floyds even changed the way he fights because hes getting older, which I think has made him better to watch, he doesnt run around or he cant run and use his reflexes as much, he leans on the ropes and trades more, its great to watch haha

Only watched it back once myself and I have to admit that I wanted Henry to win. Perhaps we were all influenced by sentimentality. Personally, I made Cooper the winner but we are all entitled to different opinions. I may, now try and watch it again, impartially, after many years and see what I make of it.

I hated seeing Sugar Ray Leonard when he went on to long but having read his autobiography it is easier to understand now, just finished Bomber Grahams book and that is a good read too

Yeah I read SRL's latest autobiography that a good read, I read Herrol Grahams to that was quite sad though wasnt it, with him battling depression and being touched up as kid and stuff.
I was reading Tapia's book the other month but I had to stop, I had just read Herrol Graham's and it was just too much depressing stuff for Me read one after the other haha The bloke really had it f*cking tough man, its crazy what he went through, and ultimately a sad end to! I will pick it back up though, but Im finish La Motta's book first which is abit mental, he talks about killing a bookie (well he thought he killed him for 10years) with a pipe in the first few pages! I need to pick that back up I havnt read it for while I been too busy.
Have you read these, they where a great read espeically the Jack Johnson one.

The four kings is a brilliant read, always remember listening to Hearns v Hagler fight on the radio and couldn't wait to see the TV coverage.

Four Kings & Unforgivable Blackness are the best two boxing books I've read. Would definitely recommend both in particular the Jack Johnson autobiography one of the finest books I've ever read.

A bit more if I was a boxer. I have to admit that I have been beaten around the ring on a regular basis
