I've never been a fan of Floyd's actions out side the ring but only a fool would down play his natural given ability, ring intelligence and instincts. Unless Floyd has lost it ala Roy Jones I seriously don't see him losing this fight.

Im pretty sure the guy does normal pads behind close doors,since day 1 wot he shows us in the training videos is some showing off not he's real training just snipetts....Like the way they claim he dose'nt scout opponents i dont believe for a second.still though the greatest fighter in the world imoThe only cautionary note I would sound, from a non-Floyd fan, is that the pad work with Uncle Roger is beautiful choreography and nobody does that better. But it is like a dance routine that two partners have performed a 1,000 times. Uncle Roger knows his movements and does his best to make his nephew look great.
In a real fight the opponent is attacking and not holding mitts and respecting Floyd. Not moving in a well-rehearsed way. In the real fights, Floyd throws one or two or at the most three punches before returning to defense. His punches are not as free-flowing as pad work.
I don't question if Floyd still has good reflexes or boxing skills. I wonder whether after the fight gets into middle rounds and it becomes rough and Floyd isn't doing all the punching, but also doing some of the taking, will he show signs of slippage and age then?Comment
