    Floyd is finally really starting to show signs of aging. His reflexes are slowing, and even with Maidana's anemic output tonight, he was getting hit with slow, wide right hands the he shouldn't.

    Yes, but his reaction time seems to have dropped, and is affecting his punch selection and how often he gets hit. Even his punches seemed slower tonight.

    The thing is mannys legs are still there too his movement caused Bradley to twist his ankle again. I wish maidana had fought pac because I would have liked to have seen a comparison. Floyd again shitting himself when he is asked the question. Im sure showtime are sick of losing money in floyd

    Its not his reaction time nor his legs. Its that age puts blips in your otherwise perfect sense of timing and co-ordination. Momentary lapses of concentration even for a split second and when your age catches up to you this habit happens a little more frequently plus; Mayweather seemed a little on edge tonight, more 'afraid' of being hit more than his other fights maybe the pressure is getting to him because everyone is reminding him his age

    Maidana was hitting Floyd because he has a completely unpredictable rhythm. The way he lets his hands go you never know what he has planned. Pacquiao is high freuency and awkward but its not unpredictable.

    Manny, was poleaxed by juan, and he said he had to change his style right!! Remember, that quote from his own mouth?

    he didnt seem to be in the same control he normally is, he may have overtrained and cant afford it anymore with his age, or maybe as he is 37/8 that its just getting away from him

    manny, lacks marcos physical strength. cant conclusively beat the shorter armed juan marquez, but beats the fundamentally better floyd?

    He was actually caught clean at the end of round 3 and was hurt/stunned.
