Mayweather won and will get paid. That's all that counts. (TMT)

this quote was from his post fight ring interview. he overall gave floyd his props in that interview. article headline is misleading

Except no one can quantify that to it's exact degree + it depends on the individual.

Its simple, you need to be active to sharpen up after a bout of long inactivity, this is why andre ward came back to fight 2 nobodies, that's two camps spent on sharpening up. Thinking about it more, you do forget or neglect some things after an absence, which you should eventually be reminded of after some time drilling/practicing/sharpening.

Fighters are rusty after time off, this has been seen numerous times despite a training camp, but it does depend on the fighter the degree.

Not that young.

People need to stop harping on the 2 year layoff like it means anything. Someone with 20 years of boxing knowledge and experience doesn't just forget how to do something just because they haven't fought in two years. It's not even the first long layoff Floyd has come back from before.

Even the 40 year-old thing is way over exaggerated.

Stuff like this just makes me laugh. Floyd fights Oscar, Mosley, and they where under 40 and they say Floyd got them when they were old. But that same thing does not apply to floyd. A 31 year old floyd could take a year off and demolish a world champion like Marquez.

But you expect a 40 year old with with the longest lay off of his career to not have some type of ring rust or diminished skills it is humanly impossible . And even if he was active Floyd is way out of his prime but people tend to act like he is invincible and is the same fighter he was 10 years ago.

Connors power is laughable at best. I've seen 14 yo kids hitting harder in my gym.

floyd did well for a 40years old, conor did well for a novice but he needs to work on his conditioning

[thack]

The Ref's timing was spot on and instead of being macho Conor should be happy that the ref saved him the embarrassment of the horizontal ending that was seconds away.

Conor did o.k. for two rounds whilst Floyd let him and then it was as everyone thought pro against novice.

At forty Floyd would struggle with the likes of Spence and Thurman so I really hope this was the last of him.

Still trying to figure out how the old slow no power Floyd had you wobbling like a leprechaun on st paddys day they should have let you get kod clean not stopped it you were on the way to crawling on the floor

[bronx7]

And still trying to figure out besides 1 left uppercut were was the power of Thor from your left that left the whole UFC shaking in their panties zero power horrible stamina
