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.
