    Lol no shit eh. This stuff is hilarious. Cant even think of a response. The guy who has never had a bad outing since the first Castillo fight does not make an opponent look silly and he's written off. Drive through boxing.
    Exactly

    This isn't anything new. He's 37 years old. Even before the Maidana fight you could see he slowed down considerably, even compared to 5 years ago when he fought JMM.

    That's life. You're in your physical prime in your 20s and early 30s, and then it goes downhill from there.

    Roy Jones was 35 and 15 years into his pro career when he got caught by Tarver and Johnson. When Pernell Whitaker was in his mid 30s he was dropping fights and struggling with guys who had no business being in the ring with him. Floyd's well passed the "fast slickster" expiration date.

    he just had a bad fight, simple as that. That does happen too. I think it had more to do that he got bullied than his lack of speed. And he didn't display his full movement.
