When Floyd fought Conner, it was off a (2) year layoff. But that was an MMA fighter. No tune up was needed. With a rematch with Manny that originally was discussed to take place in December, that would be a layoff for (1) year and (4) months. In December, Floyd will still be 41 years old.
At 41 years old, Wladimir came back after a (1) year and (5) month layoff after losing to Tyson Fury and got stopped by Anthony Joshua.
I’m not comparing Manny to Wladimir but they both are traditional fighters and boxers. I just think Floyd feels like he needs more time to prepare for a natural fighter that has been much more active than he has.
I will say to Sugar Ray Leonard’s credit who Floyd often says he was better than, fought Marvin Hagler off a (3) year layoff with NO tuneups.Comment
