        This guy lol

Floyd looked sluggish, he stood flat footed more than I've ever seen and his reaction time was a bit slower. He also liked tired as hell mid way through the fight.

            Yeah, even a prime Floyd would have had all he could handle with a prime, aggressive, puncher like Maidana but he also would have defeated him more easily.

            Floyd rarely stayed against the Ropes against Canelo, he fought the majority of that fight on his toes and rarely laid on the ropes. He didn't fight much better than Broner. All you diehard Floyd fans got to realize if he keeps fighting he will eventually lose.
            He was motivated to beat Canelo it was a challenge , since Canelo he is fighting contenders , I think he has been falling into a state of mentally stale and flat , he even said it was a bad performance and he felt flat , this fight will motivate the sht out of Floyd , Im expecting him to be mentally in the zone .

              Yeah, and in the rematch did he come out more motivated? No. It's not motivation, it's age. Like it was said earlier, he's looked old since around the Cotto/Ortiz fights.
              Guerrero & Canelo were style cherry picks. Maidana wasn't, and it showed.

                Yet now, you discredit the win.

                How can you say he's going to duck the rematch, the discredit it when he takes t and wins it?

                You said Floyd would get stopped by Cotto and Canelo and he beat both.

                You said he'd lose to Guererro, and he beat him.

                Yet you discredit those fights after he wins them.

                What sense does that make?

                  Bad time for Floyd to fight Manny. This is such a winnable fight for the faster Pacquiao with Floyds reflexes declining

                    Pacquiao definitely has a better chance now than before. Bob Arum knew that and that's why he was more willing to make the fight now.

                      I would actually agree with you if Manny hadn't slowed down as well. I saw a lot of flaws in the Bradley fight. This fight is not going to look anywhere near as epic as it would have five years ago.
