    Keep pretending a 37 year old man who’s been a pro for 18 years was at his best you clown
    You knew what you were doing. You’re a liar and always trying to preach your bullsht like it’s fact. Learn what an opinion and fact is and then I’ll maybe pay attention to you again.

I'm not dismissing what you're saying completely but there are other factors to consider.
      No grown man is moving like that. That’s a kid’s style. The body should reach it’s peak in early 30’s, you’re heavier, your bones are denser, your muscles are tougher and mentally you’re much more mature. Mayweather when he first moved to 147 was visibly much weaker than what he’d become. Guy just braced and absorbed plenty of Maidana’s near 900 punches, took a number of clean shots, fired powerful short hooks inside himself and pushed Maidana back too, Maidana who was much heavier and younger than him. But he was weak? Was Mayweather Beterbiev in his prime? If he had any more strength he’d have KO’d Maidana.

      Mayweather only pulls out the running/negative style when he’s serious. The opposite of Canelo who goes for more pressure. This just shows their true strengths.

        Yep
        Telling the truth will do it

          I've just realised I'm talking to someone who's racked up 20,000 posts in two years. I bet most of it's provocative edge and that you have previous banned accounts too. You should probably do something about that.

              You literally just said Floyd anti aged due to PED’s Is that a fact or opinion you fool?

              Floyd was passed his prime at age 37. That’s a fact, not an opinion.

                That’s true, but that’s another factor in why he was obviously well passed it.

                Still, the 2007 WW version of Floyd and the 2014 WW version of Floyd are obviously night and day.

                Of course there’s a plethora of factors as to why, like with every fighter.
