    I don't think its anything to read into beyond what is is. He's got hit by a punch, that much we know. It could be a single punch in the right place, it could be a few, that would be speculation, but we know he's taken at least one. We know he doesn't get marked up often, but he's not impervious to being marked up, nobody is, some are just less predisposed and Mayweather is one of them.

    But the main reasons not to read a lot into this are getting marked up as a boxer is not improbable no matter who you are, having a good defence and not being predisposed are just mitigating factors that sway the probabilities more towards not being marked up. Also, when you're in sparring the whole point is to sharpen, so you're not going to be at your best which makes it even more likely.

    As for Mayweather slowing down, of course. That is obvious, it would be highly improbable if he hadn't been slowing down very consistently and steadily since he was a 128lb'er. Age and weight.

    Laced with sarcasm, or? Haha


    I was a little surprised with the black eye but not hugely. I think he's putting serious work in for this fight as, inevitably, he has to work harder than he has before. I think it won't be the same Floyd Mayweather vs Guerrero; maybe better, maybe worse but the main thing..

    HE WINS!

    :happy:bbb

    Great point, as he ages he will need to develop other parts, and keep changing his spots, if he stays the same, he will get got, therefore he will work on other parts of the game. I'm expecting more wisely placed body shots myself, he will age like Hopkins....he will get smarter and smarter, and he is already way smarter in the ring than the rest of the chasing pack, Mayweather needs to evolve to change with the times, and keep ahead of the game. Floyd Mayweather will evolve, he is just that good.

    Floyd knows he won't always be the same, so now he has to work harder than ever before.

    He is a machine in that mit-session. Sensational.

    Radio Raheem chased him around all day to get an interview, 6 hours in the Mayweather gym on media day, and he got blanked all day. :patsch :lol:

    So you're not nutjob the guy who used to post on here?
    I'm sure when nutjob disappeared you were uncovered as his alt, but if I'm wrong I apologise.
    As I live in Denmark, nutjobs live boxing feeds come in very very handy for me to watch fights. So don't really speak ill of nutjob anymore.

    So he doesn't post here Anymore?

    You are acting suspiciously now...are you Nutjob or not?

    I remember Billy Nelson was adamant you were Nutjob when you first joined...which was around the same time Nutjob disappeared...and Billy is NEVER wrong about these kind of things :good

    everyone having a go at this crany kid, go easy on him, hes got a point

    if you look closely at floyd when the camera pans away it looks like he's sweating a bit too

    from 4:25

    also at one point he breathes really deeply like his heart rate has increased, after he's skipping from around 6:50

    all that evidence, coupled with the marked up face, suggests he might be a boxer.
    in training camp.
    for a fight.

    so stop calling crany a ****** ok?
