This 'Thread' has no legs.

As for a boxer loosing his legs. That usually happens on 'Fight Night' when he walks up
the steps to get into the Ring.

See; Hilmer Kenty

A prime example of a boxer loosing his legs right in front of your eyes.

As for the 'best legs' ever on Television. How about a little 'Bewitched'.

Naah.

He's still fast as fuck on his feet but you can tell he paces himself and does it in spurts because he can't do it all night like he used to.

I sincerely suspect one of the posters that has contributed to this thread has down syndrome.

Yes, but I think you have a mild manageable form of the disability, I would say Auspegers. More of a Pervasive Developmental Disorder more on the autism spectrum, you are doing remarkably well in light of your illness.

Says a Pactard... Thanks for showing up.

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.

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.

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.

A person would have to be blind to not see the difference in movement from his days at 130 to now. Or to not see how Floyd is off balance much more now which almost never happened until about 2006 and has increased little by little. Until 2014 it increased significantly. But the movement he needed against Pacquiao wasn't the movement he needed against Corrales. Against Pac he simply needed to be able to half step back and reset as Pac initiated to make Pac reach and exposed for the counter. That movement is still there. That movement will still be there if they do it again in 2016.

As for the tell tale signs. The answer is balance. Footwork is about balance. To be in position to defend and attack. If you are not able to do both because of where your feet are then your footwork is failing.

Whoa Nellie !!!

Are you stating that Floyd's footwork is failing.

The guy prepares for a bout, with a 90-Day intense training camp with the 'best' Aerobic
Instructors around.

Have you ever seen Floyd jab-and-duck while Training on the 'Balance Beam'.

An incredible display of balance.

Mind, I always respect how Floyd comes in in prime condition. Manny looked a bit loose, flabby and old to me. If it isnt the injury then his hunger has gone.
