Many people say that Floyd is better today than he was years ago but honestly I must say that the younger, faster Floyd got hit far less than he does today and I know that makes for a more action-packed/competitive bout because he's taking more risks standing in the pocket and trading but he never got hit as much when he was using his legs more.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK9en6g9JTQ <<<His Defensive abilities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK9en6g9JTQ <<<His Offensive abilities Though the uneducated casual observer (those who do not know the difference between Boxing and Brawling) would say he was a Runner, I still favored his earlier style using his legs to box and not get hit than I do the more Crowd Pleasing Style today. So, is he better today or then? Or did he lose a step or two?? Your thoughts??? |

The Mayweather that beat the snot out of Diego Corrales was the best I'd ever seen him.

I agree, he put on a boxing clinic and IMO he will never look that great again. There's no shame in that, b/c if you think about it, that's a taaaaaaaall order. He was flawless in that fight, care to guess how hard it is to duplicate perfection? Plus, he's established and there aren't many "stalk and destroy" fighters out there, willing to just get picked apart in hopes of landing A single shot on him. I think he's already proved that game plan to not be worth the paper it's printed on. LOL. |
