In seriousness, this fight was so shitty it was hard to detect much slippage on his side. Saw a little more holding and running but that was just tactics. I see no reason why Floyd can't go for and probably have success with 50. I can't see a reason why he wouldn't.
Correct.
Floyd requires 3-Months of preparation before a bout now. His leg strength will always be there.
It's the other things {Holding and Stalling} that is on the rise now. Nothing more than 'smarts'
and 'Ring Generalship'.

How is this even a question? Floyd moved the whole night to keep Manny out of position. Definitely no slippage or loss of mobility from his legs, unfortunately.
Agreed, but he didn't have to move all night below 140 because he could punch, so it's tough to say. I don't think we've ever seen a significant decline in a short time or anything. For a 38 year old his size, with as many fights, his legs have held up incredibly well. The Maidana fight was hard for him because thats a swarmer, probably the best he had fought since Castillo for that matter. Cotto also did good work coming forward and making Floyd reset. Guys who box with him and try and pick their own spots are going to make his legs look fine, until they truly are shot. Think DLH or Alvarez.. Guys you could say were easily strong enough to test his legs, but they didn't have the style to make it that kind of fight.
