I havent watched the fights but I have seen highlights? How were Floyd's legs

With the exception of the 2nd round where his legs were a lil shakey his legs look the same. His foot speed has declined a bit. But if you've been watching Floyd you already knew he lost some speed when he moved up from 140 to 147.

 

This 'legs' myth needs to end...Roach has really come up with rubbish. Floyd didn't look past his prime at all, he looked very sharp in there. He didn't move and box because he didn't need to -- you can tell that it was a concious decision on his part, because even after he got rocked badly he still came forward, boxing off the front foot. Also, at the end of his fight, when his stamina and legs should have been at their worst, I noticed that he was employing a bit more movement than beforehand, to coast the last round. (Need to double-check to make sure.) His legs are fine.

 

Roach is a walking contradiction and talks far too much

 

Agreed. Also his power is better now and now really EVERY shot counts. His opponents respect his power much more now than a while back.

His style is a bit different but he's just as dangerous now IMO.

 

Yes Gatti, I believe that was his last fight at 140. Floyd is the best all around fighter in the game.

 

I think what Floyd was doing was giving his version of a preview of how a fight with Manny would go. You know that they think that Manny cannot fight going backwards, and I do believe that Floyd would walk him down during the fight as he did Shane. So, that's what Roach better plan for.

 

Big Welters who started at 147 absorb his shots better. Baldomir had no respect for his power.

His power at 140 was a lil better then at 147 imo.. His power at 130 was his best. At 135 he broke his hands in almost every fight.

 

Floyd's legs were fine, its just a myth created by Roach. FMJ didn't have to move back or run too much in this fight like he did before. He decided to be an aggressive counter-puncher for this fight.

 

I agree...I am curious to see what Roach's game plan would be.

 

i think roach was trying to play mind games. but mayweather did his thing and won convincingly

 

Floyd looked as sharp & good as he did vs Hatton & Marquez, when he had to move he had no trouble using his legs but he choose to fight Shane in a similar manner to which he fought Judah in 06 which means he used less leg movement or footwork.

Roach is just up to his usual bull****, I wouldnt worry about what he has to say.
