    The thing is with the Marquez fight you gotta ask yourself "Did he need to use his legs AT ALL"? the answer is NO so i don't understand how you noticed this.

            He moved quite a bit in the Marquez fight. Those lunging straight right hand leads, for instance. But yeah he's not as light of a guy as he used to be. This will help him against shane though, Floyd isn't a small fighter anymore for his division, so if Shane think he gonna bully Floyd around the ring, he sadly mistaken.

            I noticed Floyd's jump rope work isn't nearly as blinding as it used to be, from what I see on 24/7 though. However, the editors could be leading us to believe that on purpose I suppose.

              Floyd is slowing down, has been inactive and is facing his first big test in eons. Let that soak in.

                That's true, but in both fights, he didn't have to fall back on his legs to win. He has layers of defense, like most defensive fighters.

                  shane is looking his sharpest in the last 5 years and floyd has been inactive and slowing like said previously

                  Shanes best chances are in the early rounds

                    I would be more surprised if the Shane Mosley we see on May 1st is the same Shane Mosley who stopped Antonio Margarito. I can see Richardson being forced to throw in the towel.

                      Floyd is slower, weaker and doesn't punch in combo's much. That being said, no one has taken my offer of a bet as of yet. :P
