I'm not disputing whether he did slow down or not, but that you can't draw this conclusion based on maymac circus fight.
I didn't watch the Berto fight - Floyd's fights were getting more boring each time towards the end of his career - so I'm not sure. you do have a valid point that goes beyond maymac though.
True, you can't really, it was a freak fight.
He got more cautious in his old age, with his match ups and his fighting style.
I haven't followed his whole career very closely but towards the end the differences are clear enough.
Suppose my point is in general the fight isn't one you want to be trying to get a moral victory from, or make excuses for.
Annoys me seeing Conor do that, he has to rebuild his confidence, to an extent, fair enough.
I just wish he wouldn't try and sell the loss as something it wasn't.
I suppose it's to be expected, spin is more important than the sales pitch when it blows up in your face.
