Floyd Sr isn't saying anything that Floyd Jr doesn't already know. This is the biggest difference between the two camps. Floyd has been admitting this since he swapped out Roger for Sr. The two Maidana fights were very physical and Floyd is well aware of the changes. That's why he brought Ariza on board; to help give him a different look with his conditioning. In contrast, has Roach ever admitted to the changes that Manny has had? Nope. And please don't include his "Manny was being too compassionate in the fight because of his religion." Manny has been in allot of wars, yet Roach is still trying to train Manny to be what he used to be. Big mistake. I believe Mannys killer instinct has never left, but his body has changed. Floyd can't do what he did 10 years ago and neither can Manny. At this stage in both of their careers, both have to recognize whats changed and build off of that. Anything different will be disastrous.Comment

This seems like a very fair, reasoned opinion by Floyd Sr. Not used to seeing this from him. Usually, its rubbish that should be ignored.Comment

I've also been saying this for a while. Floyd is not 28 years old anymore. His fans and the so called experts keep forgetting this. His own Father just admitted it. Floyd at 30-34, doesn't lose a round to Maidana. Manny is not the same either BUT he's fresher than Floyd, believe it or not. His last three fights prove it. He hasn't taken any punishment, at all. The year he took off did wonders for him. Floyd is going to get a beating.Comment

Floyd Sr your BS if Ali was fast as a heavyweight can you imagine how fast he would be as a Welter weight, Floyd has never fought anyone with the foot speed of Ali try picturing shrinking a fast heavyweight to a Welter weight this wouldn't be slow a$$ Guerrero. The refs and judges were also Ali friendly so your not going to get a Castillo, Madaina type gift win here either or handing Ali some pillow gloves. I guess the Mayweathers when they compare Floyd to better than Ali it must be that Ali that fought Holmes, Spinks and BerbeckComment

If you look at Manny's fight eith Algeri and see how unbalanced he was. How he plodded. How he was basically firing a single shot at a time. You'd realize how ****** thos post is. I'm not even saying Manny can't win. I'm just saying he's slipped far more than his supporters wanna believe. And he's basically feasted on ****ty competition since being starched. New league Sat homie.Comment

I've always said Mayweather-pac will be like mayweather-Hatton part 2,
Floyd has slowed down alot,
But, if he can be himself come fight night, it's going to be the same kind of fight,
Pac with the same come forward fast aggression and Floyd setting traps, walking him into shots, catching him and check hooking while sliding out until a stoppage.
All Floyd has to do is be a perfect version of himself which he has done so many times.Comment

Beats all at 147. Funny but is it coincidence? A week from today 47-1 is coming. It is very scary for the chicken even just to look at the Pacman eye to eye. Eyes don't lie. This is the only fight that chicken Floyd did not use his intimidating acts. Chicken Floyd was a very good boy during the face-off.Comment

5 yrs ago, pac stop Algieri, no doubt. And 5 yrs ago Mayweather doesn't lose a round to Maidana. They're both still great fightets, but, not the same. An argument can be made that pac doesn't throw the same5-6 punch combos like he did vs de la hoya and Cotto and Clottey. Those combos wore u down and scored pts with judges.
But floyd cant move like he used to, and I think has lost more speed than pac. We'll see!
floyd has never been hit dirty like that on the inside...never..Comment
