    Ain't that the sad truth.

    I don't think it's his hands that got slower , only his legs . Mayweather has been more stationary in his last 3 fights or so. Guys like Guerrero and Alvarez didn't force Floyd to move for 90% of the round , while Maidana kept pushing Floyd to the ropes and he was not that successfull in moving away

    The hands have gotten slower too. Watch the Gatti, Hatton, JMM, ect fights and compare them to now. He's slowed down. He's still fast as shit though.

    The beauty of Floyd is that he has adjusted to compensate for deteriorating speed and reflexes. He can't move like he used to so he has mastered more subtle range controlling and pocket counter punching like he did to Canelo.

    Floyd needs to fight at a slower, more relaxed pace now that he'd older.

    Look so a aged Mayweather still beat a prime champ in a clear tough fight. I mean almost 90 percent of the boxing community thinks he won then most others are draws pretty much. I say thats not to bad look what happened to Jones when he slowed down got tooled real bad. As for how pac and Mayweather would go now Pac just got killed by 40 year old Jmm not to long ago and had close fights with Bradley a great fighter but with no power at all. I like see Pac fight a big puncher at welterweight and see how he holds up see were he is at. I think Mayweather and him my fight for there going away party for 2016 i mean better late then never. I can not believe this shit and i hate that i have to defend a fucker like Mayweather because people seem to forget a whole career after on fight and are surprised a fighter looks old at fucking 37.

    Could have just been a rare off night for him, too. Who knows.

    It made me really want to see him vs a young bomber like Porter or Thurman though.
