In his last three fights he seems to just walk you down catch punches and counter.
What do you think it's just the way he fought those fights or is he changing
Oh no doubt he was never known as a "power puncher" but I was generalizing what usually happens with the "great" speed fighters. Do you really think PBF can depend on his timing alone once his speed is gone considering his ability to take power shots has a ? on it?
Marquez is doing it.
he has legs to run...................and lack of balls to fight................
If he had no legs you can bet Arum and Freddie would be urging Manny to take that test already. They love to pick fighters with no legs and no defense for Manny.
Since when has Floyd ever known to relied on pure power to wins fights? When his speed is gone, he has his timing to rely on. Hopkins doesn't have KO power either, but he still wins fight because of his ring IQ and technical skills. Floyd is not like Roy Jones who relied on his speed, power, and athleticism. When those special gifts faded, he had nothing else to relied on. Floyd can still fight until he's in his 40's, and he'd still be able to compete against upcoming future WW prospects.

Fighters like, Floyd, JMM, Hopkins, Glen Johnson, Ward, ect can last very long in this sport because they mostly relied more on their ring smarts than their physical gifts.
Wow does every gd PBF/Pac thread turn into some freaking *****fest by you flomos/pactards?
WTF is wrong with you people?
Anyways, Floyd's inactivity is going to be his worse enemy. Also his leg work has slowed down a little but not to the degree that would be detrimental to him. IMO his problem will be his lack of perceived KO power. Boxers who are known for speed usually also develop power (the great ones) so when the speed starts to slip they still have the power to fall back on. Sadly I don't think Floyd has "that" kind of power to fall back on (not saying he has zero KO power but it isn't something that he can depend on at WW).

At this point who knows he hasn't fought in over a year @ he most likey won't be fighting this year boxers like him who rely on speed and reflexes need reps to remain sharp and being inactive and getting on in years certainly don't help so naturally yes the older he gets the less quicks he's gonna have but to what extent that's anybodies guess?

it's not the legs thats missing, it's his balls.....
^^^^^^^^this
dude, you know a lot about the sport of boxing! I envy your wit and knowledge. :wave:
lmfaaaooo,
look at this gullilbe imbecile. How come he didnt sign during pac vs clottey negotiations? how about during pac vs margarito? pac vs shane?
floyd only comes out after all those fights have taken place & NOW SAYS See here i signed the contract!!!
It doesnt take a highschool graduate to figure out that maneuver, but since you most likely dont have a degree or high school diploma, you wouldnt understand.
Does it hurt to be as retarded as you , he said he signed the contract at the time it was common knowledge , we all know Manny ducked the fight for Clottey , why are you little boys so fuken stupid !!!!
