What does losing ur legs have to do with throwing 17 punch combos...not only that, but Floyd actually ran, and boxed in this fight...U been listening to roach too much...Floyd is a student of the game, he improves each and every fight...against Marquez he had no power, so he worked on it for his fight with Shane...against Shane, he was overly cautious, and very flatfooted, and he was criticized for both...when Pac fought shane, pac threw caution to the wind, and was still able to avoid punches, thats when Floyd realized he wasted portions of his career being more cautious than he needed to be, so he wanted to be more exciting, and this new Floyd was brought about during the promotion for the ortiz fight...against Ortiz, he threw twice as many punches as he threw againt shane, his feet were faster, walked him down, and perfct aggression..BUT he only threw three punches...hooks, right hands, lead rights....against Cotto and Omar, he was closer to perfected...he threw every punch in the book, sweeping rights, which I never saw him throw, better angles, more sharper, diverse arsenal, but he was almost so aggressive that he was reckless in some spots...Floyd will be better in his next fight...it doesnt stop may 5th...few can pay attention to detail, and ur not one of them!

Against Omar, Floyd was practicing how to counter with combinations off the ropes...on the ropes, he would counter 3 of cotto's punches, with 17 of his own punches...I cant remember if it was the 5th or 6th round, but he countered with a 17 punch combo off the ropes!..I loved it man..I loved it!

Quit lying, He ran damn near half of the fight when his corner told him to get off the ropes...there is no such thing as losing ur legs...where did they go?...Did they vanish?..LMAO...If u train with 5lb ankle weights, and u feel older, then u start training with 15lb ankle weights...the older u get the harder u train!...Watch the fight as evidence to what Im saying!

Because hes willing to be more exciting for the fans.

Because he's being forced to.

Anyone who actually thinks hes "doing it for the fans" is an idiot.

he used combo's because he HAD to, simple as that.

He threw twice as many combos against Ortiz than he threw against Mosley, against Cotto, he let his hands go from the 2nd round when Cotto got frustrated and picked him up, Floyd started making him pay...in the 4th round, he started opening up BIG time...against Omar henry, he was countering with combinations off the ropes...Floyd has been trying to improve his offense ever since the Mosley fight...few can pay attention to detail, and ur not one of em

The Wild Card

I reckon hes trying to look as exciting as the other guy whos always mentioned in the same sentence as him... He sure looked it against cotto, no doubt... He was also looking that way against Ortiz!
