    I don;'t think i've ever seen Floyd look this sharp since Chico. It's blatantly obvious has father being back training him has made Floyd into a much sharper puncher. This biggest diffrence is Floyd fighting behind a jab. I always felt he had one of the best jabs int he sport. Fast, long armed, and accurate bu he didn't use it that much. IN his last two fights, and most noticeably in the Canelo fight he controlled anything Canelo did with the jab.

    His defense, reflexes, and skillset are still out of this world. He was looking tremendous tonight and I think his dad back in the corner is to credit for it.

    Right on! Floyd didn't have a long layoff coming into this fight and you knew he would be sharper bc of it. Floyd may be 36 but he is a young 36 bc of the way he treats his body. He doesn't drink, smoke or put on fat after fights. He is a gym rat still so expect his speed, timing, and other skill set to remain great for a few years. His ring IQ is off the charts and he will not lose.

    Floyd Sr being back in his corner is great for him for the reason you said. Sr will make you jab bc thats the key to set up everything else. Some ******* on here named Mugato was talking about how Canelo was going to jab Floyd to death and if Floyd is aggressive Canelo will knock him out. LMAO.

    he was Sharper on Fight night, also the MW division is not known to be as fast or agile as the LWW or Lgith Weight division.. so yeah he was sharper but as you said his opponent was not as fast as 135/140 lbs oponets Floyd boxed years ago

    It's 2013. When an athlete looks the way they did when they were 25 at the age of 36 there usually is one answer to the puzzle: Chemistry. And for those of you who don't get what I'm saying I'll give you one example of chemistry: Balco.
