    Yes. He's only on the decline if we see it May 18th. There's been nothing else to suggest this.

    Hard to decline if you are never in a tough fight.

    Yeah really no decline seen yet. If anything more perfection. He paces himself, starts cautiously and finishes strong. His defense is tight, he has a good chin and hes still fairly young. Speed guys get old quick with age, but I think he can have a successful comeback for a while. Someone will beat him if he continues to fight.

    I haven't seen any significant decline.

    He has developed a worrying tendency to drop his guard and crouch in a baiting fashion, however -- I noticed it against Hatton. Not a good habit, even for someone as quick as him.

    Yeah, it's sad, believe me Missy
    When you're born to be a sissy
    Without the vim and verve
    But I could show my prowess
    Be a lion, not a mowess
    If I only had the nerve..

    So were Leonard, Hearns, and Hagler when they fought Duran (a guy who started @ 122)...point.

    Workrate. but it could be bc he is more defensive minded against bigger guys.

    I think that's the only reason. I mean he's as big a gym rat as there is so I think he could pick up and maintain a higher work-rate if the situation dictates it.

    The only decline in Floyd that I see is that Floyd doesn't move as much around the ring as he used to.

    Ricky balloons to near 180 when he isn't in training. The man is hardly smaller than Floyd.
