All this talk about Mayweather maybe being a little past it?

Floyd is past it, so let pac fight cotto or margarito, guys more in thier prime.

Watch him against Mosley again. Floyd's footwork is no longer what it used to be. That's the reason why he got tagged a couple of times. The more Floyd delay this fight, the less credit Pac will get. I guarantee, this Pac-May hype will get colder and colder. And Pac can't be the one to be blamed.

Yeah but (And I aM NOT A fLOYD FAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM) What you have to realize he can do it all when need be...When he thinks one style may not work he will use another...As for the Mosley fight history has proven if you lay on the ropes against Shane and give him the opp to open up on you it does not matter who you are he will get you....The high defense has given him problems as well as jabbers...EG Winky Wright....

Yes maybe his footwork is not exactly what it once was but he is getting older...Nature takes its toll on the best...It is not as if he is slipping all around...We don't know if he is slipping at all because for all we know it may have been a last minute adjustment after being rocked he went with plan B......We need see him in another fight before judging.....Even so Floyd is the type of guy who if he knows speed or foot work is slipping he will revert to something else....

I did notice that his stamina while better then Mosleys was not what it was in the past.....I think that will be his biggest problem with Manny the fact he needs to keep up with the pace of Pacquiao and that is hard for anyone....

How many times is "a couple of times"? 2? Only to have him adjust, come back, and dominate. And, what SSR, said too .

When did Floyd need footwork against Mosley? He a couple times against Mosley because the first one was a good one-two combination, and its Shane MOsley. People are acting like he was fighting some punk, By the end MOsley only landed 20% of his punches. Marquez only landed 12% of his clearly, and in neither fight was Mayweather consistently on the ropes like he was against Hatton and Oscar, or even Jesus Chavez or Jose Luis Castillo earlier in his career. I think Floyd has realized guys won't back you up if you stand your ground. Honestly did Floyd move a lot when he faced Zab Judah either? No he didn't, because he was being the aggressor. When Floyd did move in these two fights it was only to get out of immediate danger. Both Marquez(who could catch Pacquiao moving backwards), and Mosley(who caught Collazo moving backwards) couldn't catch him quick enough.

The footspeed thing is just a lame ploy by Freddie Roach to implant either doubt in Mayweather or to attempt to throw Floyd's team off what he really would want Manny to do against Mayweather. It's as ridiculous as saying Manny has lost footspeed because he didn't use as much footspeed against Cotto or Clottey as he did against RIcky Hatton, they are different fighters who require different strategies.
