    The most impressive thing about Floyd is his disciplined conditioning. He is always around his fighting weight (+/-5-7 lbs)! Now the other fighters gotta step their conditioning game up and stay in shape as well. Guys that stay in shape don't need conditioning coaches to build stamina unless they have to drain cuz they can't fight at their natural weight...Canelo, Ward, Chavez JR, and Ortiz come to mind.

    Really shows how impressive Floyd is as one of the greats...he is ALWAYS in shape so fight night is just another day...which makes him more relaxed in the ring.

    ...his greatness ain't just because of his talent!

    Well actually it is... when you look at the 'level' of current fighters... no elites hanging around but Pac and Marquez

    Everyone knows you need to be in great shape to be 'great'...It's just one of many things.
