    if he ends up like DLH i dont think he'd really mind since DLH leaks money out his ass.
    well i meant like dlh in the sense of what happened to his ring career. he could only hope to be as good as dlh in his post ring career. he's gonna need luck with that now the way he's tarnished his rep. but hey, this is america as don king would say. but i doubt floyd is 1/4 as smart as donny boxing is.

      Dont think his skills on the decline, I feel that he is feeling more pressure to perform and to fight better fighters and thats starting to effect him a little.

        yes Floyd has slightly declined since he has retired for 2 years

        he gets hit often with **** he used to dodge easy

        some people won't admit/realize, but it is just so obvious

          If floyd don,t fight again until next year then his next big fight might actually show his slippage because it does him no good to fight every year or so when your coming to the end of your lustrous career... He,s ruining himself...

            the only person where itd be so obvious against so that i see it really ****ing him up is pac. he should have fought pac right after the mosely fight, that fight turned out to be little more than a tune up anyways. he should have took the high and the conditioning from that fight into his next fight which should be pac...instead he beats up a chick and offends thousands of ppl...the guy is on a self destructive streak

                I don,t know how these 8 counts are going to turn out but, if he don,t truly challenge someone with a pulse by next year then his whole career will be known for being one of the best that never fought any of the best...

                  i disagree. marquez and mosley barely hit him all night, they both caught him a few times but were dominated overall. u cant really expect much more than what floyd delivered.

                  even if he has declined its not his skills, it would be his speed and reflexes. he looked a bit slower than usual against mosley but i think thats bcuz he clearly focused more than usual on strenght in camp and came in more bulked up than i ever seen him including his fight with DLH. he fought accordingly aswell standing his ground and putting all of his bodyweight behind alot punches.

                  if u watch his fights with hatton, DLH, judah etc (all his fights basicly) he didnt get caught any less. every fighter gets hit with a few punches a fight no matter how good their defense is. mosley happened to cath him with two really good ones, but considering how floyd bounced back for the rest of the fight i dont think u can say its bcuz hes on the decline. its bcuz hes human and makes mistakes.

                    I personally think he,s declining for sure... He has lost some of his quickness and he,s always flatfooted and doesn,t move his head as much... Definitely on the decline and to fight a aggressive younger fighter with movement will give him problems... Time is running...
