    Mayweather's prime ended after going up in weight and fighting The Big Show at Heavyweight at Wrestlemania 24. All that fat he lost f**ked him up. :nod

    Now in all seriousness Floyd hasn't been a prime fighter since the Hatton fight, he just that good to not really notice it...but to the naked you can see a lil slip in every fight since then.

    I'd say the Hatton fight. It was the last time he had an impressive moment. ***** punching Ortiz doesn't really count.

    It's really hard to tell because his timing is so vastly superior that he can ease thru fights. When your fights are that easy who can tell how hard the effort is? You know he's lost a step, he's nearly forty but how much remains to be seen.

    Yes. Although Big Show had already been beat by one-legged Zack Gowen.

    The Big Show was a cherry-pick and he should've fought The Undertaker. It was similar to when Roy Jones fought the weakest Heavyweight around in John Ruiz rather than Lennox Lewis.

    I think Hatton was his last vintage Floyd fight. I noticed dropoff though after the Mitchell fight. His absolute best I think was from Corrales to Mitchell not Hatton.

    I have to say Canelo. I was awed in that performance. Absolutely in awe.

    Good point and you're probably right. But his ability to adjust has made his descent much slower than others.
