    He's still winning but what have you seen deteriorate as far as what he used to be when he 30 and younger. Is he a plodder now? Are his reflexes starting to slow down??

    He doesn't call himself PBF anymore. Are you even a fan when you call him PBF? No one calls him that anymore.


    You're the type who would call Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay.

    I pretty much call him anything I want. What everyone else calls him means nothing to me.

    He doesn't have that hair trigger on the counter right!
    Ortiz backed him into ropes as he keeps backing up in straight lines.

    He now wears Depends :D

    i still refer to him as pbf.

    its a lot easier than typing out money mayweather.

    he fights different now as he sits down on his shots more because he throws less punches. he wants the ones that do land to have more effect.

    Money May...is physically in terms of strength more formidable...however I cannot deny the fact HIS LEGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY WERE...which is UNDERSTANDABLE....

    He has moved away from the "LEAPING" left hook

    P.S. He looks good bald.

    *Has made technical improvements against southpaws

    *Relies on the jab more now than he does the hook. Look at how much he jabbed against Juan, Mosley, and Ortiz.

    *Very physically strong now

    *Slower

    His reflexes are still fantastic, and as long as that's the case, he won't lose.

    I mean, aside from the small growth that has developed on the right side of his head, I think he's become more exciting, not relying on his feet as much and exerting himself physically, more often. Refer to the mosley fight especially, as an example.

    Floyd is stronger and more aggressive. He seems to have developed more of a mean streak in the ring.


    He is human, and is merely ad******g to the fact that as he gets bigger and older, his lateral movement will deteriorate.


    I think his reflexes are still on par.

    Hardly the same a calling Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay.

    God i hate these negative people.


    Anyway back to the ACTUAL QUESTION......

    Its hard to say for me. Yes he has lost some speed, and he is not at freakishly athletic as he once was (still above everyone else though) But thats what happens when you age and move up in weight. Also he has bulked up a fair amount so thats also going to change punch output, footwork ETC.


    What i have seen though is he is a better Pure boxer than before (When he wants to be. PBF Marquez is a prime example. He seems to have evolved mentally IMO.

    At this stage i refuse to say he has declined as he has evolved in other areas.
