    They didn't prime in the same weight divisions. Hard to make these fantasy match ups fair.

    Floyd whoops Mosley any day. Things look 50/50 on paper, but how smart Floyd can be in the ring can't be measured. Mosley has never been the smartest boxer. Floyd would have much moar respect for a younger Mosley, so he would be using lots of movement. It wouldn't be the same stand right in front of him strategy that we saw recently.

    :lol: Yea, on that I will agree with you. It's too bad Mosley never used that jab earlier in his career, I liked the way he was jabbing on Floyd's chest, a method Floyd likes to use himself and not used much. It keeps fighters off balance and lowers their guard abit so they could go upstairs, but yea Mosley had to depend on Richardson for brains and like Uncle Rog said he's fights really tense, fidgety. In your opinion, you think Floyd is at his peak or is he abit past his prime?

    Floyd's speed is definitely out of its prime. If you compare the Floyd who fought Judah and Hatton to the post-retirement one, there's a clear decrease in the quickness of the hands. He's so gifted athletically that even though he's slowed down, he still has the fastest reflexes and some of the quickest hands.

    His strength has increased. He's buffer now. I was expecting Mosley to be the physical one that night, but it was Floyd outmusculing him around. Pre-retirement Floyd was getting thrown around the ring by Oscar.

    He's made some minor technical improvements like staying off the ropes. He learned his lesson after taking 9 rounds away from Oscar, but only walking away with a mere split decision.

    There's some new tricks in his bag after coming out of retirement like:

    He has already peaked physically. His knowledge of boxing can only improve.

    SRL was too good for Floyd... Wide UD or maybe even a late TKO!
