    I don't want to see flashes, I want the Old Floyd back. He is making things harder for himself. Roy used to do something similar, especially as he got older.

    It could cost him in the end.

      he never used his jab constantly..rodger use to complain about that in the begining of his career..the man loves the lead rights..but i agree the jab would make things easier

        Somebody should ask him these questions.

        Take hatton for example: Instead of holding him off with the jab and combos behind it...with some movement from his feet...he allowed hatton to come in with little threat. Was that an honest approach to allow hatton to wear himself out or was that him forgetting to use his jab and feet?


        Maybe he should switch back to "winning" gloves or maybe he can't because any power he has wouldn't affect the 147 pounders one bit with those pillows...not sure.
        or maybe he wanted to make it interesting. I had said before that he was carrying hatton in that fight. When he turned it up, it was over. He kinda destroys u in a ritual kinda way. I think he enjoys showing his opponents that they can't win even when he is halfa$$ing. Then he takes them in deep water and drowns them! That is floyd mayweather

          I think he was refering to the car accident that Cotto had back then.
