Floyd clearly is not as evasive as he used to be

I notice that in the JMM. But, I don't know if it was due to rustiness or due to the fact that he might have lost a step...

JMM did land a couple of looping right hands but i dont know how much to read into that.

Ring rust against JMM.

Ring Rust and the fact JMM is a MASTERFUL "Counter puncher".

No?

I wondered the same thing. Either way it ain't good for him. Even his own dad said he's slipping.

He is 33, Thats usually around the age where things start to fall apart. Its about where Roy started to slip, its about where Pernell Started to slip, Oscar started to slip; its pretty much the age where all slick fighters start to get hit.

Actually, they (including Floyd) had started slipping earlier. But it's when WE first noticed it.

This is gonna lend shane a lot of chances. In the JMM his legs were definitely not nearly as quick as years passed...WE all know shanes legs are old.. If shane can dig the body it will really really test floyds heart. Remember shane is probrably the STRONGEST and hardest hitting fighter hes faced.

I agree that Shane is a dangerous 147 lber, but I also feel his legs are well gone.

Cotto showed the jab and legs to win a narrow fight. Mosely is older and also maybe rusty.

Talk of getting beat up in sparring is not a good thing.

The key to beating Mosely is movement, speed and a defence/reflex.

Flyod should still have enough.

I don't know what you cats are talking about...

elusiveness wise, Floyd has never looked better. He got hit, what? 3 times flush the whole fight against JMM? He lost some on offense though since the good old days, I'll say that.

Floyd clearly is not as evasive as he used to be
