    The Three Stages.

    Dont you guys think Floyd has had 3 stages in his style?

    When he was at the lower weights he was a dominating monster using mainly right hands, left hooks and uppercuts.

    When he first moved to Welterweight he used a potshotting style just winning fights by scoring points with no bad intentions and lots of superman style right hands.

    Now he has returned he is using another style again where he stands in the center of the ring using his jab and sitting down on his punches.

    You only have to look at the types of punches and the angles they are coming from to know he has changed.

    I don't think so...he approaches every fight differently...

    DLH is a better technical fighter than Floyd's notable opponents(Oscar was much harder to hit clean than Shane)...that's why Floyd had some trouble IMO, He took his time with Hatton waited for him to slow down, Marquez was a piece of cake, he knew Shane wouldn't be as sharp with a layoff, was flawed technically, and walked him down

    We can't say if he's going back to being more offensive, this was just one fight...
