    the reason I ask is because i've just been watching him against Judah.. something about him just seems sharper..

    He looked better against Judah. Probably he looked like that because Hatton is a tougher challenge than Judah.

    But 147 is not the weight for PBF. He is slower, has less reflexes and his punches are much weaker. He must be 130-140 max.

    If you are referring to how he looked this weekend. Anytime you fight a person who cames ahead like Ricky Hatton you are going to have a ugly fight.And Hatton is good at what he does. Most guys jsut sit there and let you unload on them especially if you can mentally break them down early. Like Floyd did Zab.

    No he may be coming into the last year or two of his prime but he is not. He looked better against Judah because Zab is easier to look good against than Hatton.

    he hasnt lost anything yet...he may have been more vulerable in this fight and got hit more often but thats because he was more aggressive...i liked him in this fight because he was really gunning for the kill

    He's the best fighter in the world, but past his prime.

    Floyd himself even said he was better in the days when he fought more often...He said that on 24/7. He is past his best.He got hit with shots he would not have a few years back..And Judah was a tougher fight then hatton b/c Floyd was DOWN rounds in that fight..He beat Hatton easily though the roughhousing got on his nerves a little bit.. But he never even showed a hint of confusion or deter.
