    We may all hit the bag alike, we may shadow box alike, hit the mitts alike, we may all jump rope alike, but we don't all perform the same under pressure.

      The fights happen late at night (10-11pm or so) so it makes sense to prepare the body to be 'active' and responsive for that time.

      People's natural circadian patterns are to work during the day and to rest at night. Well, if his opponents are putting all their efforts during the day, the body will be naturally slower and less responsive (with the exception of a few minutes adrenaline during the first round or so) than a body that is honed and intuitively programmed to perform at its peak at night.

      It's not the only key to Floyd's success - his skill is without question - but it surely must be a deciding factor.
      yeah, I read an article a while back about a study which tested and compared the physiology of people who were mostly active at night and those who are active during the day and there was significant data showing that those active at night functioned less effective in the day regardless of the amount of rest they got prior and vice versa with those active during the day. something like that.

        Wait, I could be wrong. But didn't he say "We all don't perform the same under the lights", atleast that is what I think I heard, didn't he say that?

          All it really means is that Floyd has a fcuked sleep pattern from not having a regular job and hitting strip-joints, so he just trains whenever.

                  My favorite Floyd quotes? "Shane says I only fight for money. Well DUH! I'm a prizefighter!" "He just got outta the hot tub time machine."

                  There's even a quote I LOL'ed when Floyd said something about Shane wearing a green suit looking like something out of Avatar.

                  Floyd and his family should have a show on VH1 or something. If Brandy and Ray J can get a damn show then Floyd should definitely have one.

                    floyd likes to run at night so that's why he said what he said

                      well this is where mosley is better than mayweather
                      at least mosley doesnt cherry pick.
                      he was fighting everyone
                      and he almost had mayweather in round 2
                      but something was wrong with his energy levels
                      it had nothing to do with mayweather beacuse
                      it was apparent from round 1

                      emmanuel steward was saying mosley doesnt look right
                      probaly all those blood drains .. i mean 10 !!! ...

                      too bad mosley didnt have a rematch clause with maywaether
