at 130 lbs floyd was a monster offensively and defensively. ever since he left jr LW, he has declined. His punch output is too low, he barely jabs anymore, he doesn't put together combinations like he used to, he has a tendency to sit on the ropes, he takes rounds off, his power is mediocre to decent, he no longer looks to stop his opponents and only looks to win by decision, he has shoulder problems, hand problems, heart problems, phobia of elite WW, etc....
yeah, floyd dominated jmm (a LW), baldomir and judah, but he couldn't put them away. Also, he struggled w/ DLH and Hatton until they gassed... beating DLH by SD and it took 10 round whole long rounds to KO hatton.
I'm not saying floyd isn't a fighter with great skills, I'm just saying he was better a 130 lbs.
