    steward can say what he believes, my eyes work just fine...
    Well you might be right... since nothing really looked more effective than anything else, I guess nothing would really stick out in my mind.

          the best is yet to come, if you push him.
          Round 8 vs hatton demonstrated that.

          He doesnt use the shoulder roll that much, he uses it in a subtle way.
          I think he's getting smarter in the ring, and wiser.
          Even if he's a bit past it, no fighter in his prime has yet to compare to him.

            I guess people didn't see this fight.

                  i feel he is in his prime! he undoubtedly is a different fighter in the bigger weights than when he was at 140 and under, but he has to be as he is not as big naturally as these welters, and jmw's! he fights more cautious, and throws less combonations using his defense alot more than he used too, and he has to respect the bigger punching power that the welters carry, whereas in his younger days in the lighter classes he could get away with using his offense more and taking a few chances! he is still prime, and the man in the sport!

                    Great question and very hard to answer. I don't know. But I don't see where people are saying he gets more than he used to are getting that from.

                    Ain't no ****ing way Castillo landed that many punches in the 11th round. He was missing like ****.
