Nobody thought floyd could do it, because the world was wowed by shane mosley when he fought Margarito. But Shane took almost a year and a half of inactivity(coupled with his age).. and then he started training for Berto.
Now shane's training camp was pretty much done and he was in his top condition.. that's when the berto fight fell apart and shane was in (or close) to 100% condition already with nobody to fight..
And then when he's already in top condition, the fight is announced and he has to go to ANOTHER training camp. This is extreme overtraining. Don't tell me Floyd didn't notice this as a huge advantage, even *****s praise him for being some kind of genius.
And for people who don't know, a boxing training camp is designed to carve the body into it's most perfect form possible for a fight. It starts off slow and then it builds up until a peak is reached. That's why it usually never goes past 8 weeks, because you can only stay at your peak for so long before your performance drops. That's why it's a bad idea to start early- and shane mosley started too early.. an entire training camp too early.
Btw if the counter argument is that fighters used to fight multiple times at a time before instead of a few times a year, that's because their opponents were doing the same thing. Having a training camp means you're at 100%, fighting another person that is at 100%. And floyd was 100% for that fight while shane wasn't.
