I agree with some of your points.
I did not sigle out Floyd being good intellect-wise. I mentioned "camp" or the parties within FLoyd's inner circle. Those folks are doing a good job -- the research about Ortiz's personal troubles, and not only with Ortiz, but his training Danny Garcia. Its also intriguing that on several fights, Floyd was able to dig deep into his opponents personal life and use it during prescons and interview like a way of getting into his opponents head.
