Still physically fine BUT not at his best weight. Plus he is now in his 30s so there will be a decline even if it isn't that visible.
Yea, he moved up a bit too much.. All the additional muscle and weight have slowed him down a bit. The speed in the Jerry Cooper fight ( Which was a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE mismatch ) was incredible, his jab was like a shotgun.
I HATTON beats him you just know his fans will claim hes past it ! just like everyone else HAT beats !
Yea he maybe a little high in weight but he's still in his prime. He hasn't been in any punishing fights and he has a Hopkin's like work ethic and obsession to take care of himself physically so I think he should stay in his prime for quite a while.
He is. Would outbox any of the current top 10 welterweights yet would unlikely be able to seriously hurt, let alone kayo, any of them. It's a question of weight. I wonder if the quickstep lessons will improve his footwork in any way. Quite the workout for the fast-twitch muscles. :dance
When the way he boxes and how little he gets hit, combined with his physical conditioning I would say he is still in his prime. He is not as his prime weight though. If Floyd would go back to 140 though (and he could) then we could really see him perform at the top of his game.
I think pbf still in his prime but fighting a bit to heavy. I hope I am wrong and hes faded like a twat so hatton can kick his ass
Floyd is on the down side imo. Floyd's prime was riddled with hand problems. His max weight should be 140. I believe he was in his prime at 25, four years after winning his first title.
No doubt Floyd should settle at 140 where his power is still somewhat feared.... If he is indeed slipping then he is still doing really good fighting against gamed opponents at 147-154.
We'll see against Hatton and in the v. top fighters. If he can handle his charges and counter him with speed and accuracy then we'll know.
No way, he's defiantely past it. Floyd's over the hill and way past his optimal weight. If he can some how pull off the upset by beating a younger, stronger, focused p4p fighter in the form of Hatton while doing a reality show when he's supposed to be training, then that would be one of the greasest feats ever accomplished by a fighter. He would definately be top 10 atg if that happened.
Yea I think Floyd is realizing it is a big mistake joining this dance contest... He is competing with guys who have down time and is actually pretty good. He had 4 days to do the "quick feet" which I thought was not good.... and he is literally spending all of his time promoting and learning new dance steps.... If he loses from under train... it will be his own fault.
