Experts, including Rocky Marciano Sunday, marvelled at the speedy coordination and power displayed by 24-year-old Floyd while deliver ing his salvOs of hooking com binations in preparation for unbeaten Johansson, cham pion of Europe. Come Remarkably "I'd say he's improved in every department," admitted the usually conservative Florio. He's come on remark ably since his May 1 defense against Brian London at In dianapolis. He needed that fight under his belt." Floyd cut lose only four times Sunday with his hook ing combinations because of the heat in the jam-packed gymnasium, here at Ehsan Karadag's hillside camp. When Floyd finished Sun day, he weighed only 180 pounds. He plans to fight at about 182 VS. Johansson will scale about 197, an advantage of nearly 15 pounds. - The champion claims he has not battle plan. "I never make any plans before a fight," he said. "If you make plans, and the other fellow doesn't do what you expect, it throws you off. I just wait and map my fight in the ring, depending on what he does."
