Floyd Mayweather Jr Lost a Step? Statistics Show Otherwise

[FeFist]

Yeah man. Or maybe he doesn't want to understand it. I have to commend him. I wasn't quite convinced he could pull it out yesterday. And I've been thinking that for some time but he always finds a way. The performance was terrible but he did what he needed to in order to win. Can he make it through his next two fights without a loss? I don't know. But regardless of whatever happens in the future, he's carved out a special career.

The bolded. Look at his facial expression when speaking about his performance; people look frustrated when they know they have underperformed, but he looked depressed. I think he's realised that he doesn't have a lot left in the tank.

[Gary Coleman]

Even at his current level, he's better than everyone 147-154. That says a lot.

[radioraheem]

Definitely. Mentally he's sharp.

That's why I think he keeps thinking he's overtrained. "I felt dry" "I didn't feel great" "I overtrained" "I felt better the last fight".

It's because he's seeing the opening, he's seeing the opportunity, his body just isn't pulling the trigger like it's used to, his timing isn't what it used to be and he can't understand it.

Because he might have 'overtrained.' In training camp, he was looking amazing. So amazing that those that saw him spar, including sparring partners, felt he would stop Maidana. But on fight night, he didn't perform up to par. Even one of his sparring partners admitted he looked different.

It's not that he can't pull the trigger and this and that. Keep in mind, Floyd trains insane during training camp.

preach!!!,nice stats and statutistics man,lets the haters have it tho.

the thing is this,see floyd didnt lose the actual fight so they go on to the next best thing in there minds,,to bash anything surrounding the event itself,

see how they bring up the biting incident,,complain about the points decutions,,and now its all about oh floyd lost his legs lmao dam kids get over it 47-0

Nice shot, but the bell had rung and Floyd got careless, dropped his guard. Obviously, he didn't even attempt to block. He was perfectly fine when he guided Maidana back to his corner several rounds after that, which Maidana actually did twice.

A free shot, and Floyd barely got disoriented for like 2 seconds. Mosley got a fully aware Floyd and hurt him bad.

You are so full of sh it it's sad. Simply pathetic. Floyd throws a shot after the bell and then gets hit flush and you are arguing that he let his guard down bwahahaha
Flo tards are just too much

He is on the decline face the facts!
My man Martinez is done I don't like to see it but I can't deny it

[rambov]

I think he did loose some speed as any athlete would. I can see his fakes much more.

40% - 203/506(Worst defensive display)

The highest percentage of punches connected on Floyd: 2002-2004, Castillo, Corley and 2014 first Maidana fight.

The highest percentage Floyd connected: 2009, 2014, Marquez and Maidana 2x. (Note: First time ever that Floyd lands over 50% in consecutive 12 round fights - 2014).

Floyd has definitely lost a step. In fact, he has lost several steps. He is not the same fighter at 37 that he was at 25. No one is. The difference is Floyd is so much better than all the others in his weight division (which is three weight divisions above where he started his career), that he can lose two steps and still defeat any opponent.
