    i dont get it...what makes u think cant move if he wanted to...dude is only 35, hes a workout freak, taken no damage in his career, eat right and also well rested....but yet some people still think his legs are shot

    i mean cotto can still move well after all the beatings he took, hopkins moved well against dawson, martinez moves really well at his age, even a shot old man mosley moved good against pac, and pac got great foot speed

    money just changed his style, hes confident enough to just stand in the pocket and do work. he adjusted his style like mj did when he got older. ur a fool if u think mj couldve go to the hoop in his 30s...but why when u can play in the post and shoot mid range jumpers.

    age in modern times is just a number....look at T.O, dude is 37 and coming off a acl injury, and hes still a good athlete...hell moss still run a 4.3 in his mid 30s. anyway floyd haters need to stop listening to roach because trust me floyd still got blazing footspeed...he have no reason not to have it

    Because they hate him and it gives them great pain to admit he is one of the best ever!

    They say it because ROACH said it period.

    Posters don't think for themselves simple as that. Just parrot what they hear other people say and hope if they say it enough it makes it true.

    It's actually kind of annoying. He was did a lot of moving against Ortiz (boxer/puncher). The only fight he went forward (pressure style) against Mosley and that was because he knew he could out slug him.

    People say negative things about Floyd because it infuriates them that he is still hands down the greatest fighter on the planet. They have a hard time getting over that.

    I had said on another page, what does floyd have to prove? So lets step it up a notch the more we support him the more they will hate. These contract killers that i call hitmen are now forming a line to get at him. He is still good at what he does bar none even though anyone can be defeated. They don't get it until those blows start to knot up their faces and close their eyes so they can't see him. But without that he can still move and frustate the hell out of anybody.

    I think because Roach said it and we know how people love to jump on the Roach Bandwagon.

    Yes he has been more flat footed in his last few fights, but hes also totally changed his style to something of a more fan friendly style, so hes clearly sitting down on punches more and walking people down more, hence his apparent "Shot legs"

    I think he still has the legs, hes just not using them.

    Just my 2 cents.

    catch 22 if he uses movement, he's a runner. If he stands in and fight, his legs are shot. Either way, I see these pacman slobbin clowns haven't been throwing the oh so creative "mayrunner" word around anymore.

    Obviously he has slowed down a little bit, but not to the point that people claim.

    imo its not really the fact that he cant move, its the fact that he doesnt need to anymore, he pushes forward because hes used to it now, he thinks he can break guys and which he can. He still has movement in his arsenal but he hasnt really been in trouble enough to use it. Its also as if its a habit now since he hasnt really needed to do much.
