i think floyd eats better than he leads on (pretending he lives off burgers and pizza) and not doing drugs has definitely helped with his longevity
most boxers seem to treat themselves like ****, drinking/getting high all the time and having to drop obscene amounts of weight a day before the fight, i think that hurts you as much as taking punches does.
hopkins for example, he's been on some strict diet of plain vegetables and buffalo meat and no condiments for years
"Doctors in Canada (the same cardiologists who work on Brad Pitt) erformed EKGs on Hopkins and found the walls of his heart were so fibrous they couldn't get a read on them. Later they equated his heart to that of a 24-year-old."
He's definitely aged as a fighter, he's not even close to as good as he used to be.
That tells you all you need to know though: he is very much faded yet he's still the #1 fighter in the world P4P.
Pretty much this. The two biggest things that impress me about Mayweather over the course of his career have been; His complete change in style ala Bhop. I have little doubt that if he fought the way he did 10 years ago he would of lost a couple times by now.The second thing is his work ethic and commitment to his health year round.
