what do you mean he lost speed and power?? Oh i get what you're saying it's because he's not knocking guys out now huh? You do know he's fighting bigger guys than when he 1st started and never has been a KO artist. I mean isn't he considered one of the fastest/quickest fighters today?? No?
Mayweather is not in his prime anymore.

this right here is a great answer and why you see guys like Hopkins Morales and Barrera still do great things even when they go past prime.
Mentally their games adapted and changed to match their somewhat declining skillset. A lot of people still see it as being in prime but physically you can see subtle differences. For a guy like Hopkins it could be a drop in activity, Morales less and less toe to toe exchanges, for Barrera establishing a jab and boxing more
Mayweather isn't any different. He has adapted his game to fit his physicalitiesComment

At the lower weights he had KO power in BOTH hands. When did you start following his career. 23 of his KO's came under 147.what do you mean he lost speed and power??

Nah... he ain't. But truthfully, right now he's better than he was in his prime. His Prime was the corrales fight to that Judah fight. But right now he's smarter. He's not looking for the kO, he's looking for the W. looking for the KO get you what Pac got in his 12th fight. lmaoComment
