Do you think we'll ever see Floyd get old overnight in the ring?

[Abelardus]

I think floyed already got old over night. He has slowed down down a lot doesn't move around the whole ring he use to. Its just hard to tell cuz he counters and times so perfectly and really makes people think about coming in cuz they will pay. But with the way he trains and maintains his body I doubt he'll get any slower for about 3 more years but by then I don't see him coming back unless he needs the money 😳.

Nah, it won't be abrupt. It's actually already been slowly under way for maybe 2 years.
Floyd doesn't have the same speed and reflexes and stamina as a few years back.
He looks good, very disciplined to keep himself in magnificent condition all these years, but who knows the real state of his body after so many years in an extremely strenuous contact sport. Boxers are trained to conceal injuries.

His superior technical expertise will allow him to continue to compete.
It's textbook stuff, he's very well-schooled.

If a guy has that part down and he's a boxer type, then it makes for longevity even after the physical prime has passed.

Roy and Floyd were both physical marvels of speed and reflexes, but Roy didn't have the technical skills to fall back on when his athleticism and speed eroded: Floyd does.

I hope he will but doubt it. He will get his 50 and 0 and retire for good.

[Silkeyjoe]

No because his 0 is so important to him. He'll retire before he fades

Only if it's against some insane pressure fighter who can cut the ring off well or vs a huge power puncher. So basically if he was to fight a prime Duran or prime Hearns then yeah but that's not going to happen.

Anyone that dangerous may be avoided by Floyd.

I wasnt comparing roy to floyd cuz they are two different type of fighters obviously. my point is any boxer can slip up at any time regardless of what they are..

Dont be acting like ya wasnt shocked to see roy fall like that. Nobody saw that coming.

Like somebody mentioned, it can happen to anyone if they fight long enough..

What do you mean fall like that? When he came back from HW he struggled against Tarver. So you could see he wasnt himself. THen he lost to him twice and Johnson. Big shocks but they were decent fighters. In fairness to him, apart from Green, he has only lost to very good fighters and he thinks there was something fishy about his gloves.
