Floyd has clearly declined

[BUNGALOWS]

what you're doing is giving this section of the forum a bad name

Woah is me for calling it like it is. Don't get your panties in a bunch NE. It's okay.

of course he's declined. he's 37 years old. he's been finding himself on the ropes for a while now.

five years ago, mayweather would set up shop in the middle of the ring and land his counterpunches. he ended up having to gut out a fight that he'd dominate in '07.

this happens to virtually every great fighter. if mayweather keeps fighting, he will lose.

i was not expecting him to fall of so quickly, but that's usually how it comes.

A good pressure fighter could always take him to the ropes. It's little wonder he avoided a prime Margo and a prime Cotto. Dude's a scam-artist, picking people to suit his style and avoiding others.

NE makes a very good point. 5 years ago Floyd would've UD'd Chinos ass with ease.

He's rapidly on the decline, but he fought Oscar and Hatton the exact same way and he was in his prime back then. Both of those guys out-muscled him against the ropes and kept him there and outworked him. He will always have problems dealing with fighters who can bully him on the inside. You have to be able to bully him especially if you're the bigger guy and make it an ugly fight, otherwise, he'll just potshots you in the center of the ring and control the fight.

No, he wouldn't have.

Floyd also hasn't faced a fighter with very fast hands in ages. One that's a southpaw. Ortiz is a you know what, and he was putting on a good performance against him.

He's 37 years old, bro.

Father time it happens to everyone

Old ass washed up, war torn, bloated, out of shape Erik Morales gave Maidana a boxing lesson and had one eye swollen shut early by Maidana and even rocked Maidana in the fight.

Stop with the lame excuse, he is not slowing down, he has never had brutal wars, he doesn't drain himself, he just got exposed.

Also Floyd beats Pacquiao easy if they ever fight, Pacamn is shot and has a glass chin and no power, speed or stamina anymore

It looks like he aged over night.
