Sure Mayweather was out of shape, but even an out of shape Mayweather would beat 95% of the contenders out there with his athleticism at those lower weights. About the timing, Mayweather's timing is as good as anyone's but he doesn't have the footspeed he use to so he can capatalize on it like he once did. He use to be able to leap in from four or five feet out in the blink of an eye, but now he is too heavy to move like that. I think that Tszyu would have been lost trying to find Mayweather, and that he just didn't have the speed to catch him.
Sparring don't mean anything even Greg Page decked Tyson in sparring.
