    I thought he did. I think Max said why aren't you moving. Max said are your legs older, is it just a new style. I thought Mayweather said no and followed up with he doesn't need to move.

    I have noticed slow decline in Floyd's legs, but hey he did not need them vs Mosley.

    If Mayweather would see Ortiz as a threat, he would not fight him

    Floyd would make pac look bad in a face off, has to do with pac being nice and humble and not speaking English well enough to be witty or explain things well enough. Im pretty sure it would involve roger and roach sitting there as well and freddy doing most of the trashtalking vs mayweather.

    floyd's cocky and confident. ortiz looks intimidated and nervous. this goes to show how much floyd really sees ortiz as a threat which is about the same number as his loses.

    lol... true.
    Just cause how eerily calm, collected and effotlessly confident Floyd expressed himself.

    I was wondering the same thing, there are only two possible reasons behind this.

    A. His legs are gone.

    or

    B. He feels he has bulked up enough to be classed now as a big WW so he no
    longer has to back pedal from his opponents he can hold his own in the middle of the ring.

    If it's B, then that will be the wrong game plan against someone like pac, so I hope he has his legs ready for that fight because he will need it.

    i wonder about floyd's legs for a while... after Baldomir he doesn't fight like PBF anymore who is used to be all over the place, constantly on the move. but now "money" just stands there and counter hits for the most part. i miss PBF.

    What I miss about pretty boy version is not his movement, but the more offense he used to display.

    Yeah when he became money mayweather, he stopped using his legs as much, this also shows how versatile he is that he can adapt his game.

    Actually when you think about it floyd is rarely called a runner anymore, which is ironic as his career was plagued with such generalized criticism.

    I missed everything about PBF. His offense was ridiculous and defense was awesome too. Maybe not being trained by his dad got him to be lazier? His style begins to shift when Roger is on full time.

    True... it has been a while since i heard that... well people follow fighters on their last outing and labels them by their last performance.

    ortiz is trying sooooo hard in that interview to look focused and confident. he's lucky that floyd is being nice to him, you can easily see that floyd can mentally **** ortiz if he wanted to

    Yeh you're probably right, a faceoff would be pretty useless and would only be worth having for 1 minute. As for having Roach cover for Pac, that would be even more pointless as he finds it harder to speak of recent.

    Maybe Pac can get Hops to cover him, that would be great!
