    I think he's gotten a lot smarter in the ring. Doesn't lose his patience as often.

    Are you dumb? He has beaten all the guys your hater ass put in front of him as well as all the guys you said that would beat him,Oscar, Mosley, Canelo, oh how Maidana won the 1st etc etc, mayweather wins the second as well. Now Pac, and you still wont give him his props.

    But let me guess Pac fought all the A side fighters right? Whar a ****ing clown you are.

    He's gotten smarter...doing more with less. It kind of reminds me of Jordan in his older years. He started employing the fade away when he wasn't as explosive (and was still pretty much unguardable). Floyd is relying on his defense, ring IQ, physical strength, and timing as his hand and foot speed start to diminish.

    Only the greatest atheletes and sports minds can reinvent themselves like that and remain as dominant as in their prime years.

    I think he looked very good in the Juan fight pitching a shoutout against a future hall of hamer says alot.

    He looked very good last weekend, looked very good against Canelo aswell. For the most part Floyds career is based on either great or very good performances.

    he fights better when threatened or evades quicker depending on the level threat?

    I agree with you, he compensated and became harder to beat, he's had some mixed performances right throughout

    I agree exactly with this. I watched him vs Hatton and he think he improved after that but now is a little bit past it.
