Of course he was better then. Younger, faster, stronger etc. But now some of that has diminished while his boxing iq continuedd to increase. That's why he's able to adapt & still get the same results.
I don't understand how blind the antifloyd people are. He was not stronger before, he is stronger now. In the first part of the video you see how many punches he missed. now he throws less but he miss much less and his punches carry much more power. Floyd don't throw the punches with his body a la cotto, that is the reason why he is always in balance and ready to defend himself, the trade-off is less punching power, but he has develop a very good punch without using his body. Also he can throw the same quantity punches now that before. Before the flames, every person who has see all his fights know that he achanged the punches output from one fight to the other. Tha is not and adjustment made by becoming older. Watch his fights and you would see that he changes that from one fight to another and he has not get tired in neither of one. Before you start speaking anti-floyd things watch his fights and then come to post. Dont be puppet of Freddy Roach frustration who said that Floyd would beat Mosley running, because he can't trade and after he Beat Mosley then he said that Floyd don't has legs to try to hide his ridicule.
that was a nice HL reel. good stuff and thats b/c it didnt even include HL's from his fights with ndou, corley, hernandez, etc
most of the people who are anti floyd are *******s who arent really fans of the sport and only follow pac. Others simply hate floyd's persona so much they cant appreciate his skills and give respect where respect is due. And others think he is a "runner" due to one fight: baldomir. Some might say he was on his bike for the JMM fight but he was trying to get some rounds under his belt and even before that fight they considered him a pot shot runner. Only fight he really did that was again, the baldomir fight. He gets alot of slack for that one particular fight and while it was pretty boring he won it soundly.
his right hand is always ready once left hand misses, need to neutralize his straight right hand if Pacman wants to win.
Smaller fighters look faster and more talented than bigger ones. Look at the weight difference between him today and him before. Of course he is going to lose some hand speed. The thing that is evident is that he is even more accurate and precise than he was before. That says a lot about his overall skill level. Quality over quantity. I don't really like him that much, and I don't think he is as good as he was at 130-135, but I still can't see how you would say that he isn't as good as an offensive fighter as he once was. I don't see it. He still has all the same moves he did before. Nothing really substantially different about his attack. He doesn't use the upper cut as much as he used to though.
Yeah exactly, his ring IQ and defensive skills has turned out to be just as effective as his younger days.
