    Mayweather said to Mlive.com: “I’ve been pushing myself in training camp. My body has never looked the same as it’s going to look for this fight. This is the longest I’ve trained for any fight.”

    :lol:

    Hardly to compare 3 years in actual prison to Floyd's 2-month vacation where the most bothersome thing that happened to him was being unable to drink his favorite bottled water

    Fighting really dirty/ugly is the best tactic against someone like Mayweather. If he's going to stand in the middle and pause for opportunities he's going to get pummeled.

    Loses 15lb of pure muscle!
    Comes out and picks a fight with a hungry young lion!
    149lb a month away from the fight.
    Will bring fireworks to the ring with his physique come fight night!

    Hard work and dedication baby!

    I made that up. I was just mocking the OP for not giving any source because anyone can make anything up like I just did.

    Mayweather's camp have never really talked about this being their 'best camp' or Mayweather looking in 'the best shape of his life'. I only recall them mentioning something like this during the Cotto fight, which in turn was one of Floyd's more competitive fights.

    That just isn't a good sign. Those who think this will be a walk in the park for Floyd, will be in for a shock. Expect Guerrero to make it into a fight and win around 3 rounds.

    you picked up on that too? Did you see this interview on fighthype?

    http://www.fighthype.com/news/article14169.html
    "I have been pushing myself in training camp. I think my body is going to look tremendous for this fight. I can't say how my performance is going to be, but of course I am going to go out there and perform. I always am at my best.

    "I am going to dish it out against Robert Guerrero on this one. I am going to be the Mayweather that is
    active. I have young guys who are really pushing me in the gym for this fight. Sure I have bad days in
    the gym, but I don't have bad fight nights, bad paydays.":?

    I have no doubt he's working hard to get back to form and put on a show after being cooped up in jail. The ring is where he's comfortable, adding his dad in shows he's taking it a bit more seriously, which for him says something.

    Yeah I picked up on that too, struck me as odd. But maybe it's not something unique to this camp, maybe some days he's not on it but shows up on fight night anyway.

    Though I will say that during some workouts it looks like he's been struggling. But I can't doubt his condition.

    I can remember hearing about him being in the gym getting back into shape as early as january or february i think. I expect him to be in great shape as always. Guerrero im a little worried about because while doing press and going to jail he wasnt training from Monday thru Thursday evening. He even sounded a bit distressed about it on All Access.

    If Floyd can still pull the trigger, he'll win. You just never know how a guy will look til he's in there. I think Guerrero is a C+ fighter, but you just never know how a 36 year old fighter will react coming off another long layoff.
