He's 37, and the fact that he is still fighting at the top level at this age is remarkable in itself. We've all seen it so many times before, Chavez was 31 when Whitaker boxed his ears off in 93', by the time DLH got hold of him in 96' he was 34 and pretty much done. Whitaker was 35 when he fought Trinidad and his major assets in the ring were long gone. Mosley, DLH and Tszyu all staggered on well into their mid 30's, DLH was 35 when he fought Pacman. Mosley was already 33 by the 2nd Wright fight, Tszyu was going on 36 when he fought Hatton. They had all lost their sting by this time.
Now we see Pacman losing his aura of invincibility over the past 4 years, he is no where near the fighter he was from 2008-2011.
Floyd is human and he will lose some speed and that ability to not get hit, Maidana to his credit fought his own fight and didn't allow Floyd any chance to implement plan b or c. He won because of his sheer brilliance and ring experience. Nobody has ever landed that many punches on Floyd in one fight before, so maybe father time has finally caught up with him?
When i was watching Mosley stumble around against Mundine last year i was thinking could this ever happen to Floyd? I said to myself "nah", but i have changed my opinion finally. He will lose within a year.
