    Mayweather Senior?

    Do you think he was brought back in to bring Jr's legs back? Even if he wasnt, do you think he can be the one to bring his legs back?

    It will be hard to tell in this fight anyways because the game plan will probably be to walk the Ghost down. If they did elect to use his legs more in this fight it could actually backfire but it would be cool for future fights.

    As a Floyd fan, it would be dope if he entered the ring at 154 pounds or so and still showed the ability to move well with his legs. Atleast on par with the Mosley fight. If he did that then I could see him being more willing to dual with the Jr. MW's. Most likely though he's 150 & flat footed

      Floyd would be better off with Sr now.

          thatnks for this. Floyd has a good stiff jab too but doesnt stay with it unless Senior is around. I would love to see the jab and movement come back in while still being aggressive and offensive minded. A mixture of Senior & Roger. Sometimes its hard to jab against a Southpaw though, e****ally one as skilled as the Ghost. If Floyd can do that then you know he's special

            Not sure how he would get his legs back. It's a fact of life. As you get older, your body can't do the things it used to.

              true but Im not 100% sure if he doesnt have more legs than he's showing. Could be this is what it is or he could still have enough legs to move around some. I dont think he has his JMM legs anymore.

              If he showed that I would be shocked. However, I would love to see him get his Mosley legs back. Since then he's looked pretty bad with the movement. Some has been by design but some had looked like straight age.

              If he was just as agile as the Mosley fight then he could still hold his own at 154 very well. If this is just what it is then he could be in trouble there

                I dont think this is why Sr. was brought in (as we have already discussed)..but as far as his legs go, I think Floyd still has his Mosley legs..I think he will show more of that this time around..with Ortiz he used some movement, but mostly upper movement..though with Cotto he showed less movement, I think that was moreso based on the style he fought Cotto.

                  Great to hear Sr saying something without sounding insane. He was saying basic stuff, but it's stuff with weight that definitely applies to Floyd.

                  You can also see why Hatton working with him was a terrible idea.

                    They still their watch the 12th Round of Cotto vs Mayweather...he was still able to bounce around like it was Round 1 What he does now he conserve his legs...why bounce around when you can stay in the pocket and still be slick and Slippery and even if you get trapped against the ropes you can still roll punches, what Mayweather use to do

                    of course he is getting older and the legs are not what the use to be but to say they are gone is ****** if that was the case then you would see him struggle to make it to the Cards and Struggle to move around the ring and get out of trouble when he needs too...instead of him still bouncing around in the 12th like he was against Cotto...even B-Hop still have Legs and Phenomenal Stamina but he just use them wisely now
