Is floyd on the decline?

Nope, he just isn't invincible like some of you think hs is. He also has always avoided threats like Cotto, Margarito, Williams, and now Pacquiao. Floyds never really fought a guy with good timing, speed, and power. Unless 4 rounder Judah counts as the biggest threat Floyds been in the ring against.

the only reason he got rocked by mosley is he wanted to fight toe to toe with him and if he fought a pure defensive game he woulda won 12-0 in a borefest. but floyd chose to throw down with suga shane.

floyd showed impovement imo

He's not on the decline,but if he doesn't fight this year & takes on Manny next year,the inactivity will cost him that fight!!

I mean, he looks more vulnerable every fight, **** he was on the blink of getting KO against Mosley.

He's about as far gone as he was after the first Castillo fight... Someone isn't past it just because they show vulnerability.

I would've given you green just because of the first line, but there was too much hate after it. Either way, I agree, he retired so as not to be constantly asked about why he doesn't fight Cotto or the Cotto-Margarito winner. Every welterweight avoids Williams and I'm starting to think that he's doing the same **** with Pacquiao.

As good as his skillset is, he isn't getting any younger. But, he thinks alot more now if you watch him closley.

Yeah he slipping a lil bit! Floyd prior to retirement would hardly ever get hit with clean right hands like he did against jmm and mosley.

He was starting to slip in the hatton fight as well. A few times in tha fight floyd dipped right into punches. His skills so good though that he still will be able to beat pacquaio easy!
