    We know Floyd has issues competiting when he was 40. But he had talent than was far more than pure natural athleticism.

        Hopkins for example...lost speed, power, relexes, agility, and foot speed.

        Yet he still can dominate people...

        Because hes ACCURATE, has DEFENSE, basic boxing ****...that Roy didnt have to fall back on...dont get me wrong I loved Roy...I just dont see where his talent came into play....when he needed his talent he weas getting knocked the **** out....to where Hopkins is still going strong literally a DECADE after he lost speed and relexes.

                Yes he did. It was an obvious change that started w/ the Jaendeng fight.

                I've been watching Marquez for a long time and he even stated that he wanted to mix it up more for the fans.

                If he sticks to his usual counterpunching style, he probably U.D's Jaendeng or knocks him out much later.

                    I have been watching Marquez for a long time as well. Always had a warrior's heart and great skills. And it is quite obvious to me that he didn't "change his style to please fans" but rather started getting hit more as he got older and was forced to do more trading. But everyone has their own set of eyes, I guess.

                      Stop talking rubbish. Usain Bolt could probably accomplish everything Roy did. He's insanely athletic.
