Floyd has never abused his body with any vices (outside of women and ********), Floyd has never put his body into a position where he was yo-yo-ing between weights ad needing to shave off a ton of weight in camp, and he's walked into the game with great genetics (Floyd Sr is 63 years of age and is still in phenomenal physical shape, though his stamina seems shot).
Look at Floyd by himself, rather than assuming he's supposed to be akin to every other fight.
Floyd in 1996 is clearly different from Floyd in 2001, who was clearly different from Floyd in 2006, who was clearly different from Floyd in 2011, who was clearly different from Floyd in 2015.
By the time 2006/2007 arrived, Floyd (basically timed against the De La Hoya fight) changed his style entirely, largely because he started to feel like he didn't have the legs to all the way fight like "Pretty Boy" Floyd.
