Well it works either way

1. If Floyd wins the fight even being "not what he once was" he looks even better

2. If he loses he's 38, he was slowing down, he didn't have his heart in it


but the main thing is exactly this....it helps sell the fight because it gives people who don't like Floyd a reason to believe "YES we'll finally see Floyd get the ass whupping he deserves!" and it'll give the Floyd supporters more ammo to say "He ain't even in his prime and he's still great!"



At the end of the day it's just talk, words, words, words...meaningless once the bell rings
