Floyd Mayweather Jr Lost a Step? Statistics Show Otherwise

[TRTboy]

326 punches in 12 rounds against a guy coming forward all the time. How boring was that ****?? he probably held close to that total punches.

Floyd gave himself a C+ for that performance. I think that's just where he's at in his career.

C- he said.

And I actually agree.

Floyd's in denial where he's at in his career. Like many others are in this similar stage.

He knows what he used to be able to do and still believes he can, so when he's moving slower and not reacting as quickly, he thinks he's just underperforming well really it's that he's in decline.

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.

Look at his face after his fights with Oscar and Mosley and Guerrero
Compare that to his last 2 fights with Maidana and Cotto
Numbers lie kev.

Absolutely no way. There's just no way.

Fighters age, it doesn't matter who you are you can't beat father time.

You aren't the same fighter 10 years into your pro career as you are when you're 18 years into your pro career.

You just aren't.

Okay, so you disagree that the Floyd who just fought Maidana in the rematch, would not be able to beat DLH, Hatton, and Mosley the same way or even clearer than the Floyd who actually fought them?

Lost a step? No way, I've never seen somoene run so much in my life!

He just fought an energetic fighter, that's all.

If the current 2014 Floyd fought the 2010 Mosley that the 2010 Floyd fought, we'd see the same exact fight, same numbers and everything. Styles make fights.

If the current Floyd went back to 2007 to fight undefeated Hatton again, we'd see the same fight.

If the current Floyd fought DLH in May 2007, we'd most likely see an even better performance from Floyd.

Yayy we finally disagree on something lol.

If 2014 Floyd fought 2010 Hatton it would not nearly have been as easy, as dominant and as spectacular as it was. Floyd actually fought Hatton's fight for 8 rounds and WHOOPED HIS ASS. Floyd's speed allowed him to stand right in front of Ricky and make him miss countless times. He could only fight Maidana one way to win the way he did. He fought Hatton any way he felt like and put it on him.

Yes I absolutely disagree.

I believe he'd beat all 3 but there's no way he'd do it just as easy and definitely not easier.

The only one he might beat just as clear as Mosley solely because Mosley is a perfect style for Mayweather to beat.

It's like saying Roy Jones was the same fighter at 32 that he was at 26. Which funnily enough people tried to argue was the case back then aswell.

I think he knows deep down. He can stretch it out for another couple years with careful opponent selection, but the end (at the top) isn't far away.

How long he carries on really depends upon how he handles his finances.

So you feel that Floyd went from super fast to just fast. Or He went from super fast to slow? If so, where re the losses?

Surely, Canelo, Cotto, Maidana, Mosley are better than what the prime Mayweather was fighting in N'Dou, Bruseles, Baldomir, Sosa, Agustus. You don't think for one second, that maybe, Floyd is fighting better opponents now than he was fighting 2001-2005 excluding Castillo, Corley and Corrales? That has nothing to do with it?
