I think the only reason Ortiz had any success landing the minimal amount of punches that he landed was because Mayweather put himself in position to attack ortiz which in turn put him the "line of fire" to get hit a few times. I dont belive he had any respect for Ortiz in any way which is why he came right out and attacked. Mayweathers skills will NEVER deteriorate because it has been embedded in him since birth. Beethoven never lost his composing skills as he got older, he actually got better. Geniuses NEVER lose their talent and skill, they only lose the desire and dedication to perform and engage in their craft. Once he loses the love and dedication to be the best will be the time that he will lose. With the amount of money he is getting per fight, I dont see how he could lose the dedication to make 30-50 million for 36 minutes or less of work.Last edited by Atreyu Khalil; 04-22-2012, 12:05 AM.

hes considerably slower and tends to stay flat footed and not move often anymore
flat footed? if he is standing flat footed then why didnt JMM, Mosley or Ortiz have any success landing?

Mayweather is only 36 and has far better superior skills offensively, defensively and mentally than B-Hop and B Hop is still successful at 46/47 years of age. I do understand that B Hop started much much later than Mayweather but the fact that he learned the game late and started fighting late and is still able to perform well into his mid to late 40's should let people know what Mayweather is capable of doing.

I'm not a Floyd fan in the slightest bit, I just find that statement hilarious.
