    he is prime but he wont fight the likes of marg, cotto, clottey martinez and pac, he knew he'll loss, he will fight fighters he sure will win, like vic, agbeko , kameda and any small fighter including not so small jmm.

    Its impossible to say until he gets in the ring. I would guess past prime also he's not active enough, he aint just gonna be able to turn it back on when he faces pac.

    Physically he isn't prime, but still in great shape. He put on unavoidable weight due to age that diminished his speed but added pop to his punches. He just have to make a few adjustments. Again, physically not prime anymore, still great. Ring intelligence and smarts is at his greatest so in general he's still in his prime.

    I think floyd's next fight if its against khan 147,pac 147,martinez 154 will be a good chance that he loses. His inactivity will catch up with him. It might look like jones vs tarver 1.

    Floyd, still looks the same. He fought SSM the way he did was to prove a point. Against JMM he was still same ole Floyd.
     
  8. Stupid question Floyd is absolutley way past his prime , He did not look good against Shane , towards then end of the fight he made some sloppy mistakes which a young Floyd wouldnt have made and If he was fighting a faster man he could of had a tougher fight on his hands , I think he should call it a day hes beaten everyone , time to move on to new thangs in life

    No he isn't in his prime anymore. I don't think he has looked like he is in his prime since he went up to 147.
