    Floyd didnt get old, he just fought in a completely different way, going for the KO!

    ... something he has NEVER done in his (full) 49 previous fights, only when he knew his opponent was out on his feet

    Of course he would get hit more going for the KO so wildly and consistantly, after round 3

    he obviously didnt train like he usually would, going to his stripclub everyday for the week before his fight

    post-fight he said he hadnt even sparred for this fight in oder to save his hands, so he could land harder punches in the fight, for the KO

    So when people say floyd is shot, mcgregor landed more than canelo did"

    obviously! floyd didnt fight so offensively in this fight, of course he didnt, canelo is a very skilled poweful, BOXER!

    Floyd's legs are gone, full stop; he showed signs of this in the Berto fight, but the two years off and his performance on Saturday made that absolutely clear.

    Once he and his camp realized what he was still working with (all-time great boxing brain, severely underrated toughness, top-level skill on the inside, that crisp lead right hand, stamina for days), the gameplan changed. You add the hand issue that Floyd apparently picked up halfway through camp, and you end up with the fight that Floyd fought.

    Eliminate the hand issue and Floyd likely has the same fight, though he turns it up earlier and likely pushes up the stoppage decision to the 8th round

      "Floyd didn't get old"

      He's over 40 years old and been out of the ring for over 2 years before the fight

      Of course he got old

          now floyd fans is saying floyd got hit more because he fought different and was going for the ko BUT when it's someone else doing the same thing, they call that fighter no defense......

            UH...HE Is 40! Yes he is ***ing OLD especially for a BOXER! Looks great for his age though, walked forward for 9 almost 10 Rounds and didn't slow down at all. No shame in being the Old Man now especially when sadly his work ethnic and condition is better than most of these 20 Something's year old fighters who are missing weight and losing titles on the scale and fans want to make excuse for them. While Mayweather at 40 trains like he is still pursing Super Stardom and a Big Payday

                Mcgregor was throwing pitty pat shots after like the 5th round. He wasn't bothered by getting hit by any of those shots. The easiest match Mayweather has probably had since his pro debut.
