        He still looked very sharp then but defintely lost a step.

        But the decline since that fight has been pretty rapid. If you compare his speed in that fight and today it's drastically different. Even the pad work in the build up. Huge difference.

        But then if you look at his pad work from 2005 it's drastically different to 2011.
        Not as rapid as Pac's decline from 2010 onwards doe.

          But he also fought well against Canelo.
          Likely overtraining which Sr. brought to his attention, since Sr. his legs looked better but still couldn't move instinctively. It was after Marquez where he started to freeze up and you saw more instances where he was indecisive, didn't know whether he wanted to press forward or box.

            Do you think Floyd was over training with Uncle Rodger?

                He's looking better than ever with Ariza and Memo in his corner.

                  Marquez.

                  That's the last time he looked his absolute best to me. Everything was still there at that point; he was blindingly fast with his hands, feet, reflexes and counters, he turned his punches over better and he still had the experience to know how to adjust and control a fight when needed.

                    None. Floyd is entering his chin prime.
