I think he was a natural welter for most of his career. That is he walked around a few pounds within the limit. Unlike his opponents that were always bigger then him. Thats changed over the last few years and he like all of us both gain weight and have a hard time taking it off. Not all people. I was 160 in highschool and am 170 now at 57.
I think the whole "in his pocket" thing is a little sketchy. He's never tested positive in 19 years and after his test demands not once with random tests in the last 6 years. Lets not forget that he is the one that has drawn attention to juicing so in effect all along these same orgs stuck their heads in the sand so its the whole boxing establishment that had the testing orgs in their pocket, not Floyd. In addition he is the one that put a random call in on the testing for both men where it was up to his opponent to call for a surprise visit.
Then there's the sight test. He has gotten slower, has not had a legit ko in a decade, his legs are going and he does not have the energy he once had. It just does not add up on a multitude of levels.
I know he is clean and the gradual decline with age is there. He used the system for his own benefit and the drug authority come badly out of this. This loophole needs to be stopped.
Floyd has been peddling the crap that I never believed that he walks at the welterweight limit when he clearly does not. Sooner he retires the better.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
