    Wasn’t he going up 2 weight divisions and was doing it by eating lard and drinking urine?
    That's true and got cheated on the scale.


    But I feel like that's when Floyds reflexes were there.

          Some fighters do not have a clear peak, neither Lennox Lewis or Floyd Mayweather had a clear peak.

          Floyd Mayweather was never really forced to really unload his full capabilities 'And that was not because he did not face anyone, it was because he had a ability to always fight within himself' Floyd Mayweather cannot honestly say to himself? I left it all in the ring vs Oscar De La Hoya 'Mayweather knows deep down, that he did not unload his true capabilities in that fight and many more'.

          It is like during Dragon Bal Z 'A show I would watch in high school'. There where numerous characters, that seemingly where always holding something back 'They fought hard, but very rarely where they pushed to show their absolute limit'.

          If Mayweather decided to leave it all in the ring vs Canelo Alvarez? He would of stopped him inside 12 rounds.

That version of Mayweather will not lose to any welterweight in history outside of SRL.
            There is no peak point so to speak, there are peak years and if you get the right opponent it can appear a pinnacle in time, its really the right opponent that makes all the difference while you are in the zone, a ATG level guy like Floyd is in the 90+ zone all the time because their ability is so high, its easy for them to be good because they are special at what they do.

                but they did have their best performances.

                  Can’t remember for sure
                  Every good fighter moves up in weight... Ppl like to dismiss Floyds wins cause some fighters moved up in weight to fight him hut forget that Mayweather had akso moved up in weight and never started his career at 147

                    Marquez thought he could challenge Floyd especially since Floyd had been retired at that time. Weight had nothing to do, it was all skill that beat Marquez. Marquez could have outweighed Floyd and been bigger like other fighters, but Floyd was just too skilled for Marquez, even coming back from retirement
