Floyd Mayweather Jr Lost a Step? Statistics Show Otherwise

[radioraheem]

How many times did he do this after Round 3?

Not many.

Was he countering in the pocket? I thought Bayless didn't allow for in-fighting?

[Free Booty Dew!]

A jab to the stomach, a partially blocked right hand and an uppercut land..

TBE TBE!!

Geez what would say if Floyd looked like this instead of 47-0 , and Floyd schooled the guy that did it .

Floyd landed some pull counters and uppercuts? Wow I take back what I said, he's still in his prime for sure.

Floyd's worst performances were in his prime. People are overreacting. Yes he is 37, going on 38, but his body is young. Just saying, people are overreacting. Only thing he's lost is his power from 130. Otherwise, he's the same Floyd, and even better than he was in 2002-2005 when he was getting tagged by Castillo, Corley and Mitchell.

I have to respectfully disagree. I'm a Floyd fan, but judging his performance the other night I would say that he has clearly lost a step or two. But that's expected from a 37 year old fighter. He still has great ability and his ring IQ is still head and shoulders above every other fighter at WW, but to say he hasn't lost a step or two means you have your blinders on.

If it were Floyd that got hit with that same uppercut and immediately stumbled afterwards, you guys would be saying Maidana buckled his knees.

None of those are pull counters.

Obviously Floyd landed good punches throughout the fight, he won the fight in clear, wide fashion.

But like I said, not many pull counters after Round 3.

That's another sign of an aging fighter and a fighter in decline. Floyd was much sharper in the first 3 rounds than he was in the rest of the fight.

I mean, denying Floyd is well into decline is just outrageous to me considering how clearly obvious it is.

You've got to be kidding me. Maidana was getting hit with pull counters all night long. What fight were you watching?

Here's another, and this from the 5th round. We aren't even talking about round 6 through 12.
