      When he was the Pretty Boy, he fought at 130, 135 and 140. He had a different style because he was younger and had knockout power at those weights. By the time he because Money, he was older and slower and needed to adjust his style. Also, he was fighting bigger opponents that he couldn't knock around or knock out with ease the way he did at the lower weights.

      The fact that he continue to achieve the success that he had well into his 30s when most fighters had retired or had simply become stepping stones for younger opponents says something about his skills and abilities.

      He was definitely more exciting at the lower weights than he was at 147 and above. Then again, when he was the Pretty Boy, he never made more than $8 million in a fight.

      I think both persona's served their purpose and proved that Mayweather, whether you like him or hate him, was the greatest self-promoter in the history of any sport.

        In his case PED use gave him the endurance to keep hugging and running. But no more. Got caught already.
