    Everyone has already beaten me to it about the gloves and weight class but in reality Floyd has been declining for years. The decline was subtle but you can tell. At first was his aggressiveness. He was a pure boxer puncher at 130-135, lots of movements to dropping his punching output at 140 and less footwork to 147 where he became a prodominantly a counter puncher. Although against bigger opponents, he fires more to keep them in check. THen the inactivities and weird training hours doesn't help either. More money = more time to party. Now his conditioning is in question.

    Floyd can get most of it back but he needs to be re-motivated imo.

    he definately lost a step since after the marquez fight. Against juan I still think is one of his great performances. his reflexes were so sharp and it was a almost flawless performance. Hes become less elusive now and more square on.
