    Not really. How can you win a debate when you haven't even made any points other than your initial ones? You've not responded to anything you've been challenged on. So, in reality this isn't even a debate.

    You win debates by responding to points when challenged. You haven't done that at any point in this thread and it's all there to see.

    Highlighting your consistent inept use of the English Language is just done out of pity in all honesty.

    I only do that now because I found out English is your first language. In the past I was always under the impression English was at least your third language.

      Interesting observation. He fought bigger guys like as he aged, but not guys with reach, as you say.
      Yes. Floyd never put himself in a position where he'd have to collapse the pocket. Because of that, you have to assume that being able to close the gap was something Floyd did poorly. He knew his weakness, so he just never let anyone expose it by carefully selecting his opponents. He would chose fighters where he could control the distance, use his pull counters and just pot shot guys all night long. Eventually opponents would close the gap on him, such as Maidana in the first fight and Cotto, when he fought him toward the end. Cotto was especially good at collapsing the pocket but it still wasn't enough to secure the win. Interestingly, Floyd says that Cotto was his most difficult opponent. And then after that, he said Augustus. That's interesting because Augustus idiosyncratic movements presented a lot of difficulty for Floyd to just pot shot. Augustus made him miss a lot and also made Floyd realize that he just doesn't have the pop to stop larger opponents. That Augustus fight changed Floyd, made him into a more defensive fighter and one that no longer looked for the KO.
