    I read all the time his legs are gone, i dont think so at all, he fights how ever he wants somethimes he moves less than usual and just pace himself so he moves slower or something like that, i dont believe his legs are gone at all!

    because his legs are gone?

    FLoyd is spending most time on the ropes,
    maybe because he thinks he as another Ali?

    Mayweather really hasn't used a lot of movement since the 2nd Castillo fight. His defense has improved since then, and it's made him a more versatile fighter.

    Baldomir?

    Even in the JMM fight he was very fleet of foot.

    But I do agree with what you are saying Mayweather is very versatile and thats what people cant understand they think, if he stops doing something its becuase he no longer can. Rather than he choses not to.....

    Because he moves like he is losing his legs! There is truth to it.

    There's no evidence that his legs are gone. Floyd is very comfortable fighting flat footed at close-midrange. You can go all the way back to the Chavez fight to see him not using his legs. I guess they were gone back then too.

    Floyd died in 2006, of course he cant move anymore!

    If his legs were gone, he goes down off the 2nd Mosley shot. :deal The power and drive in his legs kept him upright.

    He has lost speed of foot, but his movement and footwork is still there if needed.

    He has stopped using them so much to avoid leg cramps a certain boxer knows too well.

    Only joking, there is no proof he has lost his legs, just why use them?

    Floyd still has those abilities of moving and running away inside the ring, also outside it. He will always have that. Only it gone noticeable more lately, maybe because of the age..

    i just dont see how the idea that hes legs are shot have any substance...

    the man still has all the attributes he has always had... and all of a sudden he has completely lost hes legs but maintained the stamina,IQ,reflexes,mental toughness,strength and speed ?
