    Floyd Mayweather JR. vs Louis Leija: Can Floyd still fight like this?

    Forget the opponent: I'm talking about Mentally and Physically?

    He hasn't fought like that in a while, I'm not sure if he's unwilling or unable to do so, I think he's unwilling but until proven otherwise, he's unable.

      They even boo'd Mayweather when he was a MUCH more exciting fighter lol


      Anyway, my thought after watching Floyd's fights at 130...sometimes I wish he never moved up into the higher weights

        Floyd once said in an interview he could have "milked" it by staying down, but for obviou$ rea$on$; he moved up. I think there was one fighter he wanted in particular

              He came forward against Sharmba, you use different methods against different styles and different fighters. Notice Floyd doesnt fight everybody the same neither does he fight every round the same, like Hopkins. Every fight equal twelve, three minute fights.

                Not only do I think Floyd is better than those fighters, he is bigger, people never talk about how Floyd was a big 130 and 135 pounder.

                  I don't even know who the **** this leija guy is... I guess that is why he got schooled, because he is basically a nobody.

                    You missed the point.

                    I was pointing to the way he fought Mentally and Physically. How he was throwing, how he was moving; punch-out-put; using the jab; combos; speed; Mentality of wanting to win from round 1. How young Floyd was willing to go out there and Win from the start.

                    Floyd also used to concentrate on showing his Ego in the way he fought and now; more so with his mouth. Things have changed.
