    Lets be serious for a second about Floyd has no legs. Floyd didnt bulk up in retirement to run more use your brains. Ortiz wasn't landing s**t nothing that serious anyways.

      There were still several times when Victor tried to come in fast and hard to hit Floyd, and Floyd got out of harms way pretty quick by using his legs. I don't think Floyd will dance anymore to victory, because as he has gone up in weight, he's used his legs to dance less and less. His style now is more of a toe-to-toe walk them down style. Walk them down, but be on the defensive and slip punches, but still get out of harms way when needed to. And, when you can't, clinch and hold, while trying to dip punches. All the while he lands quick counters or check hooks, along with straight rights and jabs here and there. He's still as olid and great fighter. I have seen nothing in the Ortiz fight that leads me to believe he's slowed down at all since Mayweather-Mosley in 2010.

        I don't know, I still feel like he has his legs. He seemed like he moved fast in this fight when he needed to. He did seem to go to the ropes a decent amount but that could just be because of rust and Ortiz. He went forward, maybe not because of not having legs, but because thats what he tends to do against southpaws.
        Against Mosley, maybe he just felt that he didn't have to use his legs. Not too sure there.
