I don't get your thinking behind the mircro fluctuations.
It is like saying Tyson was not in his prime against Holmes because he was better against Spinks.
What I am saying is that imo, the longer you fight the more your ring IQ increases, on the flip, the longer you fight the more your physical decreases.
I believe that in the time frame of Baldomir and Oscar, his Physical peak coupled with his ring IQ.... together... we're at their highest.
Floyd's prime left the building around the time he fought Baldomir. Hasn't looked that fleet to me since. Was still damn close to his prime up until the Mosley fight, where I thought he showed serious signs of slipping. He's still damn good but he's at that age when he could lose it all on one night. All it takes is losing an inch or two for that punch that whizzed by you to hit you square on the jaw. I think I agree with your sentiment.

Yeah... I think he's entering the Clinton Woods stage of his career... if you catch my drift.
