    Doug Fischer: "I don't agree with Roach saying Floyd's legs are GONE"



    "Regarding Roach’s observations of Mayweather, I agree that Floyd is more flat footed these days but I don’t think that necessarily means that his legs aren’t 100 percent. If his legs were beginning to slip, he wouldn’t have the leverage to crack with his punches and he nailed Mosley with some very hard one-two combinations during their fight. I think a lot of defensive-minded boxers and ring generals settle down in terms of their footwork and movement late in their careers. Muhammad Ali did. Pernell Whittaker did. James Toney did. Bernard Hopkins did. They did well with their more stationary style, too (at least for awhile -- Ali and Toney hung around too long and absorbed a few beatings near the end). Right now the more stationary Mayweather is getting the job done. Hopefully we’ll find out if he can get it done flat footed against a frenetic super talent like Pacquiao."

    I'm not buying any of this Floyd's legs are gone ****. He just doesn't move like he did at 130, but who does moving up?

                  I believe Floyd's legs are more there than Pac's.

                  Floyd has taken far less damage in his career.

                  I have no proof. Its only a assumption.

                  I believe both guys are in terrific shape and there stanima/endurance will not be an issue if they fight.
