Is Floyd past his peak?

**** off Carlito.:hi: How's your boy Margo doing? :rofl

 

Past his prime weight yes. Past his peak, probably but he's got a lot left in the reserves. After watching his older fights, he seemed to pack much more power in his punch and was definitely more willing to engage. The PBF I see now is fairly inactive and much more defensive. He's practically unscathed though and has not taken any serious damage in his entire career (that Corley punch is blown way out of proportion), so he'll be around for much longer.

 

They're both very close to their primes so there should be no excuses after the fight

 

The weight he has put on sure slows him down compared to what he used to be but his is still phenomenally fast in his current weight with all that muscle on.

 

Yah, slightly. He won't be shot for another three years though.

 

He's past his best weight but as far as psysically, if so, very little. The only thing you could point out is the fact that he doesn't engage and throw combinations like he used to. One of the most traditional ways to tell that a fighter is declining is when he starts throwing only one punch at a time and quits throwing combinations, which is what Floyd has done a lot in his past 3-4 fights, but he keeps winning so I guess it really doesn't matter at this point.

 

good post:good

 

Thanks man...if my post is the one you were talking about. :thumbsup

 

no way neither is past their peaks or primes....PBF has had no wars nor has he ever been exhausted in a fight the closes probally the first Castillo. Hatton is the same except maybe he takes a little more punishment than Floyd but not that much more. They are both in their primes....no excuses.

 

The point being Floyd's reflexes are not as fast as they use to be. If you look at the Corrales fight and the N'dou fight it is very apparent. And as another poster pointed out he does not throw many combo's any more, if any.

6 years ago at 24 years of age his reflexes were much faster.
