    Anyone else surprised how his body was so strong even Steward commented on it it was that fight that made me really believe Floyd roids.

    Mayweather seemed stronger on the inside not because he was actually stronger but because he is better technically on the inside than Mosley. Watch the fight again, look what Mayweather does on the inside, he either gets his forearm in Shane's throat or positions his head into Mosleys, throat or jaw. This gives Mayweather head control over Mosley, it doesn't matter how physically strong you are, where your head goes your body follows.

    what's next, Floyd "turnbuckling" Hatton with such force proved he was roiding back then? I don't know why some of you are so shocked by the recent news of Floyd's IV's, 95% of the top guys are roiding, why are you so surprised Maweather most likely is?

    Yes that's exactly what Ward does. How effective that is on Berbetiev will depend upon if Beterbiev recognises what Ward is doing and counters by getting his head in the better position on the inside.

    If he doesn't and allows Ward to control him on the inside then Beterbiev will be made less effective as he is smothered by Ward and pushed back. But if he does get his head in a good position when coming in then you will see Ward in a similar situation he was in, in with Bika, where he was less effective inside and was forced to raise a glove to to shield himself from Bika's head and basically brawl with Bika. In that kind of scenario against a hitter like Beterbiev he could get KO'ed.

    Hatton said he felt very physically strong.

    Rewatched the fight the other day, wasn't as impressive as I originally thought. Mayweather was landing grazing punches or really soft ones most of the time.
