Thread: Has maywather ever been really hurt or in trouble?

I don't pretend to be the biggest expert on mayweather,i have seen a alot of his fights but not as much as i would like... anyhow

Has he ever been really hurt? i know judah caught him with a nice shot, but he didn't look hurt or in trouble at any real point? has anyone done this to him?

I was wondering because i don't think he has come up agasint a body puncher like hatton before, and if ricky could get inside and hurt him early in, it would be interesting to see how mayweather would react from that...

cheers

Id say the most he has ever been wobbled was against Corley, it was a temple shot i think and he sort of lost his way for a couple of seconds. Thats the only time i can think of.

The only time Mayweather ever gets hurt, is when he breaks his hand on somebody's face.

In the fights I've seen of him, I can't remember ever even seeing him cut!

Mayweather is the complete fighter. He has a great chin and better defensive skills. The only thing he lacks is a KO punch but he may even have that and just not the style to utilize it.

Yeah thats the only time I could think of as well. He quickly composed himself against the ropes and ended up the aggressor by the end of the round. That was probably one of the biggest rounds of his career as far as trading shots goes!

He does have It I think, but only at lower weights

HA HA HA HA, so true. Didn't he get knocked down once by big head shot to his glove?

Castillo was probably the closest to beating him ( he may have even ), and he gave him some good shots.. Mayweather wasn't cut but he was definitely under pressure for most of the latter rounds of the first fight.

One of the great things about Floyd Mayweather is his vision, he see's the shots coming, it's the shots that you don't see that hurt you because your neck doesn't roll, causing the shockwave as your brain rebounds off the skull, causing the knockout or loss of signals. The only time Mayweather has looked like a shot rocked him was against Corley, and that was only for a moment too. He's taken good shots, but due to his vision he's seen them coming. De La Hoya and Castillo in particular have hit Mayweather with big left hooks numerous times in fights, and they haven't shook him at all. It's all to do with his defense, his greatest weapon. If you bite your mouthpiece and keep your neck tense it's amazing how fighters can take shots. That's why Heavyweights don't knock each other out in the first round.

Castillo hurt him to the body, that's why he wouldn't move his right elbow from his side at the end of the fight

Watch Corley vs Mayweather Jr. Corley rocks PBF and makes his knees buckle. Lucky for Floyd that he was not in the center of the ring as the shots sent Floyd back and onto the ropes where he survived and Chop-Chop is not a great finisher. Corley had Floyd hurt a few times. There is another fight in PBF's career where he was rocked by? I am not sure who it was, let me look.

It says a lot about pbf that we have to search to remember a time he's been hurt....that says to me the best answer is probaby "not really".. the fight mentioned above with corley maybe or even the time he actually touched the canvas against judah but he wasn't imo really hurt either time....the thing about pbf is that he see's everything coming wheather you land or not...99 % he dodges all together....

I would say Corley had him buzzed for a quick sec. Until he recovered and lit him up
