I have noticed that Floyd was very good at 130, but none of his fights provided the same type of excitement that they did when he threw combinations and what not at 135 or 140. I was trying to figure out the first fight that this change really happened. I think it was the Emanuel Burton fight and it was because Roger Mayweather became his trainer instead of Floyd Sr. Starting with the Burton fight, he started to actually sit down on his punches, when it seemed like before that he was very nervous it seemed like, like he was ready to get the **** out of there if the opponent recovered or something like that. I also noticed he started the **** talking a whole lot more when Roger became his trainer (ie the freestyle rap performance about Corrales beating his wife that accompanied him to the ring in that fight).
Does anyone see the change in style other than me?
