You can't discredit Mayweather's possible win over Mosley.

[The Big Dunn]

Floyd Mayweather never under-prepares. That's the LAST reason I would think of. Especially since he was beating up on Marquez. What we're discussing here is his hesitancy in pulling the trigger - not sure how that has anything to do with not being prepared enough. That has everything to do with age and inactivity.

Fair point! I think prpeparing and training is as big a factor as age and inactivity. He was still significantly faster than Marquez so I can't think of another reason why he wasn't throwing.

Age, my friend! Age! Floyd is slowing down. First noticed it against Oscar. Boy, Saturday night is going to be very, very interesting.

Yup. And if you remember, right after the fight he said he sees that Lil Floyd is slowing down. Real talk. I remember Alton Merkerson said the same thing about Jones right before Tarver knocked him out.

he is def slower.........i think burner made a thread about that a month or so ago....but it's quite clear......if you watch the gatti fight at 140.....he was lightning fast in that fight......i myself believe he has been on the decline speed wise since the Baldomir fight......i thought he beat ODLH and Hatton with his B level game...he didn't look as sharp in both fights as he did in the Baldo fight and i'm not convinced it was because of the oppossition.

People are already using Mosley's layoff as an excuse. But Mayweather vs. Marquez was actually a sparring session, does that really count? Then we're constantly hearing about Mosley's age, I understand that he's 38. But even at 38, he's the most respectable opponent (Not named Pacquiao) Mayweather can face at 147. A more credible opponent then Berto, Clottey, Collazo; all the other younger WWs out there. So in short, cut the excuses.


May the best man win.

But yet people don't give credit to DLH's wins over Chavez and Whitaker?? Double standards.

See my post above - I completely agree.

Just rewtached floyd hatton last night. Funny lot of poeple say he looked slow. Lampley and Stewart were saying Hatton bought out the best in floyd. It was floyds best performance ever.

Well i thought Steward was right on the money when he said if HAtton tires it's all over because Floyd's mind is still sharp.......it was all cerebral in that fight.....the lead rights....the clinching the elbows....and the traps he set to lure Hatton into the check hooks he was throwing.....it took Floyd 7 rds to get into gear in that fight...his movement was much better late in the fight than in the beggining.
