    Just watching Mayweather vs G Hernandez.

    He was sensational, I still think Pacquiao will probably beat him but back then he was poetry in motion.

    you could be right........having seen PBF's fights over and over i would say he has been in decline since Baldomir.....even in the SSm fight there was at least a few occassions where he ****ed a punch and retracted it (he also did this in the JMM fight alot) a sign of decline IMO.........

    So if he were to beat Pac it would ake the vicotry even more impressive as i view Pac as being at the peak of his powers at this particular time.......

      Compare his footspeed to the Hernandez fight and the Mosley one and it's startling, I know it's only natural for there to be a change but still.

        exactly.........watch the Corrales fight.......he moves like a wasp attacking a spider..........

        even compare Baldomir fight at 147 (he moved very very well here) to the SSM fight.......

        he has def declined....but ppl don't see it........could be better for the fans as it makes him more agressive.........

            I was a fan of his back then and would look forward to his fights but post 135lb the entertainment value of his fights has really gone down

            Its a shame to because i believe he still has the talent to put on those kinda performances especially in his fights against baldo, oscar, and Marquez

            oh well at least we have youtube

              People say how he has not taken a beating in the ring....but think about how many miles and rounds he has put on his legs in training/sparring.

              Mayweather is fighting about 20-25 pounds above his best weight, and he trains like a fiend year-round. Some slowdown is to be expected.

              At 130, Floyd was a shark.

                    Reason why he shouldn't waste any time.
