    I thought Floyd was a bit ring rusty for the first 1.5 round

      I agree to an extent, his right hand wasn't as fluid, but he also had a much higher importance on moving after he punched. I think it made him rush a little more than usual.

        Despite winning almost every round on card and dominating the fight, I think he definitely looked abit slow at times.

        Maybe he was rusty, he looked rusty to be in the build up. A lot slower than I'm used to seeing him.

        He looks much sharper now already so we'll see.

          Floyd didn't need to Guerrero was getting hits with straights and jabs all night no need to throw 3-4 punch combo's

            Guerrero is a handful...very complete fighter.....you could tell Floyd knew he had to be on point after the scare of the first two rounds........the problem for Guerrero was that he always loses a step after a few rounds...just losing that bit of sharpness meant he couldn't hang with Floyd anymore...

              Don't know how people see a Floyd fight. Guerrero made Floyd work hard. Guerrero could have beat any welter that night and he is #2 welter imo. Floyd looked bigger than Guerrero and with his skill level and new power Floyd doesn't belong in the welterweight division. He belongs at 154. If he stays at welterweight than take on everybody that is coming along unlike he did years ago when the competition was tougher. You fight long enough and you going to run into some contenders that are going to losen you up for your next oppenet, Floyd knows this and thats why he has been careful in the past on who he fights

                I don't think a guy who has never weighed in more than 151 lbs and was 148 a month prior to his last fight belongs at 154.

                  I'd green you but I can't. It's amazing how often we agree on stuff man.

                    His weigh in weights have been bs for a few years now. Floyd used to look like a skinny Broner at welterweight, not the case anymore.

                    Floyd stays at welter cause he can beat most.
