    Mayweathers Condition right now

    Prime?
    Shot?
    or somewhere in between?
    and for how long now?

    Mosley - "oh mosley was out somewhere around 18 months before the floyd fight so he was shot" although that same mosely had probably The most impressive win of his career when he k.o'd Margo. Not to mention Freddie Roach didnt want pac no where near a ring if mosley was in the other corner at the time not even at a CW. Mosley was #3 p4p and #1 or 2 in ww when floyd beat him up. But he was oldsley then? Hasnt done much since. He was 37 or 38 i believe.

    Cotto - "Cotto was shot since Margo became his daddy". True, Margo probably shortened Cottos career even more so if he indeed cheated. The Pac fight hurt as well (not to mention Cotto lost his father somewhere around there. No trainer against the pac and roach combo? shiddd lost cause right there). But He went to 154 and had a string of k.o's the most notably came in the form of the man he felt cheated him, Margo. This is arguably Cottos most impressive win. Redemption. Then fought a 35yr old floyd and lost but made a good account of himself vs a bigger trout. Cotto was 31

    Pac- "Pac was just ktfo he's done and been slippin". Well pac was on the receiving end of one of the most devastating k.o's to a fighter of his caliber in a while. He also lost to tim bradley before that. That said it took Marquez 4 tries to do it and Pac was arguably winning the fight before it occurred. And while tim got the W, Most people believe pac beat the undefeated bradely decisively. Dapidran was 33

    Floyd - ok two things for floyd. " Canelo is too green, not enough skill, Cw cherrypick" but before the fight was signed it was "Canelo is too big, skilled for a 36yr floyd, Coward floydie will never take the fight". Which is why im asking the question. Floyd was out almost 2yrs came back and beat the #2 p4p guy in sept and then beat the #3 p4p guy in may in back to back fights. Another 16 months gone and he beat the #2 ww in the world, then the #1 154 lb in the world. Went to jail then beat the mandatory 4 division champion in Guerrero. Now he's fighting the top guy at 154 again and is currently the #1 fighter in the world....He is 36

    So is he still prime? is it because of the lay offs, are they helping him rest or take roids or whatever (didnt help mosley apparently). Is he shot but still better than (according to BScene) everybody from 140 to 154? Is he shot but just hasnt met the same fate as the others? Are we jumping the gun? Is he a robot or some ish? Does he age like hopkins and its just all in the genes? or is he somewhere in between? What would you say his condition is NOW before he faces canelo?

    Id say mayweather is 75% of hat he once was. He's obviously not in his prime, but he still has his speed, legs and reflexes, which are most important for some1 like Floyd.

      Floyd is nowhere near shot,,,

      he just turned a very good fighter in guerrero into a weak sparring partner,,,

      I dont think he is prime or even fighting a his best weight,,,, but he isnt shot, hasnt had any brutal fights,, I think he still has a lot left, so i will give canelo huge props for beating him,,,,,

          He's not in his prime, but he can still fight at elite level.

            There's 5 stages to someone's boxing career, if they see it all the way through. Take Ali for example.

            1960-1963: Pre-Prime, young fighter.
            1964-1967: Prime (could have lasted at least 2-3 years longer but the layoff cut it short)
            1970-1975: Past prime-still good fighter
            1976-1978: Past prime, on the way out, falling off big time.
            1980-1981: Completely and utterly shot

            Mayweather is past prime-still good, has been since 09'. He's kind of where Ali was in 73' or so for me. He probably has another 2 years before he falls off drastically.

            For Mayweather, here's how I personally view his career.

            1996-2000: Pre prime, young fighter (damn was he still good in 1998 already at 21.
            2001-2007: Prime, early 00's his absolute prime, late 00's his latter prime.
            2009-present: Past prime-still good.

            I think if he fights past 2015, you'll see some major slippage for him.

              i dont think he is shot either. I do think his prime ended a few yrs ago. Although it can be hard to tell sometimes the way he makes people look in there. I gauge him off his ww fights more so bc i know he doesnt look his best at 154. But at ww he makes it look really easy. I cant put my finger on it but i can tell he isnt say mayweather at 140 you know? or even the mayweather that fought judah

                Floyd stays in shape, unlike a lot of fighters.

                  He is far from his physical prime but with the help of his boxing skill and IQ and lack of punishment taken he is able to perform at an elite level. His combination speed has drastically decreased since his prime but he remains faster than most.

                    I think Mayweather is still in his prime. I mean look at his past performances. When was the last time he was in a close fight that he had to dig deep to win?
