    so even if he has slowed down a little.. it ought to not be noticeable..

    His stamina is still prime
    His accuracy is still there
    His reflexes.. there is not much difference between 30-32 if you are in shape
    His Power is the same
    His timing might be off for about a round

    His Mental game will more than make up for any loss of speed

    this isn't Roy Jones we are talking about .. Floyd is so much more than just speed
    Nice way to be a prick. Which is total bull****.

I'm not saying Floyd isn't in his prime, but who are you to determine that when you haven't even seen him fight since his layoff.
      The man still looks in prime shape.. there no reports of drinking binges or heroin busts..

      You are right.. some people age faster than others.. Floyd does everything right to avoid such a fate..

      it's so obvious

        And you're able to determine this... how?

        Your intuition must be out of this world... when can I schedule a personal reading?

                  I appreciate your opposition to my claims.. but I have yet to see you prove to me otherwise..

                  So you are going to fight my opinion with yours??? Wow.. this ought to be fun..

                  This isn't a 40 year old man trying to go out on a win after losing his last 3 fights..

                  His mind is sharp.. and anyone who is OLD at 32 isn't living right..

                  I go on 200KM bike rides and I am not even out of breath.. That's how I know a PROFESSIONAL level athlete is still in his prime at 32.. because I am an amateur

                    There is a reason it is important to stay active and fight often as a fighter..
                    Hence my point. Even the average person who is in excellent shape is nowhere near the physical condition 1 must be in to go 10 rds in the ring. Nor can any fighter expect to be ready for a 10-12 rd fight in just 3-4 months of training after a 14 month layoff even if he has been keeping in shape. It just doesnt happen. The only way it would be possible if he had been training and sparring secretly during that layoff.

                      I agree with the TS. Floyd will be in-shape and fully prepared. If he was to lose there would be absolutely no excuses.
