    Of course. Floyd is and will always be a much better boxer than Broner ..Remeber Floyd is the original and. Broner is a cheap copy .

    I honestly think this Floyd at 37 is smarter and better defesnse wise.. And ring savy than he was at 25

    Yes....Floyd is much better than that POS Broner.

    I hope Broner gets KO'd Ruddock-Dokes style.

    Wow, Mayweather in the early 00s was frightening, taking guys clean off their feet with either hand like it was nothing.

    I agree broner is no bum though ... I think Floyd would have won in closer fashion at 25 and this fight was fairly close

    At 25 Floyd was a combination puncher with power in both hands who always went for the kill. He has a great KO percentage in his prime. Pound for pound against any fighter in any era at Floyd's optimum weight he gives anyone a great fight.

    Why do people see Floyd now and assume he has only just been born. They forget he has changed his style as he has gotten older to suit change.yes he doesn't KO anyone anymore because it's his 5th or 6th weight division, he has had to grow into the weight and adapt.

    Look at Khan and Maidana last night they both outweighed Floyd by a great deal. It's the same with Pacman, he isn't knocking people out not because he has stopped taking drugs but because he is fighting naturally bigger men.

    He isn't a welterweight. Ellerbe built him up via gradual muscle mass and human growth hormone/bone growth. And he's 37! Of course he's not going to be as fast and explosive and devastating as a 37 year old hitting 160lbers like he was a 25 year old hitting 140lbers.

    He really put all his weight behind his punches even threw in a couple of leaping hooks
