    Floyd can put on a show without standing toe-to-toe and getting hit. His mentality has always been to get paid the most for getting hit the least. Now all of a sudden he cares about being cheered like Pac? LOL

    I guess we'll agree to disagree because you're on some sentimental **** and Im looking at it realistically.

      If Floyd pot shotted against Cotto he would have lost.

      He is also more confident in his chin and physically stronger.

        Ali used to dance around the ring a pop pop one two`s aka float like a butter fly sting like a bee.

        After he returned from the draft his legs would no longer support that style of fighting and he started to use his arms more.

        If you have boxed long enough, I have you would know have legs will start to feel more heavy and slow as you age, you can simply feel that if you where to try and move your feat fast you would fail.
        Its almost like your style changes automatically and you cant do anything about it.

        Floyd`s legs can no longer get to the side fast enough and if he where to try and box that way he will get knocked out, his body and mind knows this so he automatically uses his arms more.

        It is very simple and only a person that have no clue about have age affects a boxer would say that floyds legs are the same as age 25

          Better question is why did he ever stop

            Frightened by the power at the higher weights, didn't want to get bullied around by the bigger guy.

            Safety first from Floyd.

            Hit and run

              Exactly

              If you mean using his legs

                Like all great fighters, Floyd adapts to being an older fighter. That's what separates good from great. I wish he fought Pac and retired instead of going the usual US fighters' route...

                  Pretty much. There are no two ways about it. Still Floyd will be an handfull for anyone out there, even if he was in a freaking wheelchair.

                    Absolutely

                    I have become a better boxer with age despite that my legs no longer work as good as ones did, mostly because I feel more and more comfortable in the ring plus and I am puncher by nature.

                    The only thing that is important in floyds case is that more fighters would now potentially give him trouble.
