    He's in his prime still. He's a smarter fighter now than he ever has been. If he needs combinations he will throw them. Look at the Hatton fight. If he has to Pot Shot he will. If he needs the jab he will. Physically he is still in his prime but he's entering the end of his prime. Around 35 he will slow down

        his physical prime is way over ..

        Plus I think he knows all he needs to know in the ring in RE to savvy

          not so much...but with his skills he's still better than 99% of the world class fighters out there.

            Mentally and technically he's never been better.

            Has his speed, output, power, foot speed (work), gone down? A little, but its still at the top of the sport.

              You Really Can't Say Because His Last Fight Was Vs A Jr LightWeight. But Slick Boxers When Your Reflexes Slip. Just A Little You End Up Like Roy Jones vs Tarver 2 Or Ray Leonard Vs Norris.. So We Shall See

                id say he's prime.

                his knowledge and technique is better than its ever been, and his physicality is still very very crisp

                  He is not as powerfull or as fast compare to his 130-135 days but he is smarter and knows how to work with what he has.

                    Floyd is prime. It will be a gigantic upset if Mosley pulls it off.

                      I don't think Floyd is in the Roy Jones category. Roy was a guy who had amazing reflexes and that was his biggest strenght but he did not have the fundamentals that Floyd has. Floyd has amazing defence and knows how to make you fight his kind of fight.
