Which is the biggest reason for Floyd's struggles tonight?

Anyone who thinks it was Floyd getting old in there is a jackass.

This is a brand new Chino who was supremely prepared and came in with a fantastic game plan. He fought great defensively: Floyd had more trouble hitting him clean than I remember of any Floyd opponent in a long time. And that wasn't a fluke. Floyd landed at a high %, but most of those landed shots were either partially blocked or Chino was rolling away from.

Chino mixed up his attack and really kept Floyd guessing. Sometimes he'd bullrush, sometimes he'd sit behind a very effective power-jab that was clearly bothering Floyd at times, and sometimes he'd become the boxer/puncher looking to set up a haymaker.

Mayweather had a tough night in there and almost lost the fight. Chino turned the heat up and fought his fight a lot of the rounds. It's very rare to see someone else dictating the pace of a fight against Mayweather.

I should clarify that yeah, Floyd IS getting old and has been getting "old" for the past few years. Floyd is out of his prime and is nowhere near as quick as he once was.

But it's stupid to use that as a reason. This Floyd was no difference than the Floyd who completely whitewashed Canelo last year.

As much as alvarez look good against other fighters, he learn against floyd that there is another level he hasn't worked hard enough to reach.

I agree old age signs have been showing with mayweather since mosley, but his outside style and lack of brain hits is prolonging his game.

Superb job in contradicting yourself completely and then insulting yourself with your own insult. I am glad that you have turned around and agreed.
