Yeah, there does seem to be a bit of a pudge(love handles). Remember how pudgy DLH was trying to be a middleweight for the Sturm fight? He figured out for the Bhop fight its best to be at your best weight than to put on any kind of weight just to suit the weight class. Heck, up until the "stoppage" DLH did better against Bhop than Sturm. Everybody has a peak weight and its best to be at or around that then to conform to a certain weight class. Floyd even at 154.1 for a middleweight fight might be chubby in comparison to his peak weight. But to the thread's point. I would like to see more of the sparring if there is any out there. You can't really take anything from clips. I'm sure all of us have done great in spurts against much bigger guys. I use to make a couple of heavyweight guys look silly in parts of most rounds. As I'm sure a lot of guys could do let alone THE master boxer Floyd on a 168er. Floyd could probably make Ward look bad in a lot of parts of rounds of sparring. Floyd knows this and he also knows that sparring can be the great deceiver.
