    I think it has caused him to be more conservative with his punches. For instance, he rarely uses the left hook anymore. That was his bread and butter at one point now he's basically beating people with a versatile jab and right hand and nothing else.

      Also undefeated means dog ***** when you're hand picked opponents and marketed well enough to pay for wins. Its obvious it was a business more so than implementing a legacy that was more important to Floyd (the Puppet) and Haymon (The Puppet Master). If you are that gullible to believe he is the best due to his undefeated record i feel sad for you. Gullible can easily be replaced with "******"
      Just like bitterness can lead to being delusional and following his career since welterweight can be replaced with ignorance.

        I do have to agree with you there. When he was younger and up coming he was more exciting to watch. Although nothing jaw dropping until he like every other newbie had to step up opposition. Thats when he got boring to watch...imo! Just not a fan of the style!

            Just went over your head. Your bitterness creates this delusional thought process that diminishes his accomplishments. And your ignorance causes you to ignore his run at the lower weights because you didn't witness it.

              I would say that he still uses the left hook, but definitely not as often as he used to. It used to be thrown a lot and in combination, now he mostly does it as a single punch or to check hook.

                Im not bitter btw. I know quite a bit about little Floyd. Past and Present. lmfao, So really its over your head and you're the ignorant one. Oh, here is the post for the 3rd time in case you develop the intelligence to respond more adequately!

                  He uses it more as a deterrent now as opposed to a weapon.

                  Mainly to get off the ropes or out of the corner.

                  His hands is defintely part of the reason he's adapted his style, aswell as just overall age and being well passed his physical best.

                    I think it's a combination of that, age and fighting naturally bigger guys.
