Did Floyd "brawl" with Cotto, Mosley and Ortiz because his Legs are getting older?

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostFloyd moved around quite a bit in his younger days. He definitely used his legs much more then, particularly in the early rounds. He doesn't do that anymore.
I would never classify him as a mover, although there are a couple fights were he did use movement as his main strategy.
Which is why I don't find him that much different.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostOh no, I'd never say he was a runner. He was never that. But he did move quite a bit more, particularly in the first half of the fight. It almost seemed like a strategy as he would then sit down on his punchers during the second half of the fight. He did that well against Corrales, Hernandez, and Castillo to name a few. But a mover? Nah. I agree--he always had many styles.
But then in the Jesus Chavez fight he barely moved at all.
Obviously Corrales is a lot bigger and better than Chavez but still, there were even times he stood in the pocket back then.

Originally posted by Chuckguy View PostFloyd is on the downward slope of his career. His legs are gone and I give him at most 2 more fights before he retires for good or gets beat.
He has an edge over PAC.
He is 50-50 with canelo
He gets murked by Martinez.
I'm not saying that Floyd wasnt great but he is declining fast.
Only floyd fan boys will argue other wise.
So I'll ask u this? Why has floyd changed his style the last 3 fights?
