    it must be so hard being at the top of the game, especially with elite level boxing. You can tell someone like Floyd who leaves the gym and goes to the club but when it comes fight night he actually shows up and is ready. But for other boxers like AJ and Canelo they need that full on immersive experience to even get a little bit ahead. I really respect anyone who fights.

      Floyd had his first alcoholic drink in his 40s, leaving the club he would run home or the nearest 24hr fitness and put in work. That's why Floyd was able to fight an entire 12 rounds.
