Floyd Mayweather has been hit twice in his last ten fights!

[ykdadamaja]

I know, dating back from the Oscar de-LaHoya fight, Floyd has only been hit cleanly two times.

The first was the infamous Shane Mosely fight, where he was rocked in the second and took some time to recover. Even at that age Shane still had pop and if it were most other Welters or Jr. Welters and even Super Welters, they would have unravelled and gave up the spirit to fight shortly thereafter.

The second time was in the Maidana 2 fight where he lost a tooth after being popped flush in the mouth. He wobbled back to the corner, as the shot came right at the end of the round. Had there been a minute left in that round, I'm not sure what would have happened, but it would have been interesting to see.

Enter in Manny Pacqiuoa- who will CERTAINLY hit Mayweather more times than he has been hit in his last ten fights combined. Probably harder than Shane can at that age, and definitely not as hard as Maidana, but certainly more frequently with a little less pop.

This is fight will be more than a testament of Floyd's defensive skills, but it will also test Floyd over the long haul of being hit so, so many times.

If Manny can catch Bradley, he will catch Floyd.

Must've missed the Floyd-Cotto fight I reckon.

[Beanflicker]

Pac had a lot of trouble catching Bradley.

[p4pking]

Bad title for that video, Bradley didn't win but he did clearly give Manny a lot of problems, and think about how easily other guys have been able to catch him. He's not a great defensive fighter or counter puncher, fighting him and fighting Floyd are worlds apart.

[Beanflicker]

Yeah I don't think Bradley won the fight, but the fight was a lot more competitive than people think because the announcers were giving credit to Pac for landing shots that were caught or flew over Bradley's head.

[Spicoli]

Different make up and fighter from Tim but Algieri appeared to have come with movement and preservation on the mind. Seems Manny landed a few times there. In fairness Manny clearly beat Bradley not once, but twice. I don't think he can match Floyds hand speed regardless of what Cotto says, but I think Pacs accuracy will cause him more than a few problems.

[Master]

Floyd has been hit loads of times, Cotto bloodied his nose but Floyd has probably been hurt twice in 10 fights and I am not included maidana biting his pinky through the glove.

[Fenster]

That video should have been titled - Proof commentators sometimes call punches that miss.

Some nerd makes a totally biased video that shows a dozen examples of the HBO comms calling shots that didn't land exactly as they described.

Overall Pac threw 751 punches. Pathetic.

[Ron Swanson]

Pac had a lot of trouble catching Bradley.

There is absolutely no doubt Pacquiao won that fight but the scorecards are less of an embarrassment than how HBOs crew push their agenda no matter what is actually happening. Watching that fight it's embarrassing for Max, embarrassing for Lederman(no surprise) and Lampley is simply pathetic(no surprise)

[Beanflicker]

Yeah it's sad because I'm a big fan of Lederman, who usually is very insightful and produces great score cards. But Lampley is a notorious nut hugger, he did that same shit with De La Hoya all the time, especially in the Whitaker fight. At one point DLH threw a 5 or 6 punch combination, missed every fucking punch, DLH even laughed out of embarrassment, and Lampley is screaming like DLH just knocked Pernell out.

DLH was the biggest nut-hugee (nut-hugging recipient) of all time.
HBO deepthroated him constantly.

Lampley literally got choked up and teary eyed when DLH stopped Vargas. Shameless cock gobbling ugh.

It's funny that there are still people who think Floyd doesn't have a chin, or doesn't have heart. Shane hit him about as flush and as hard as you can hit a man, rocked him and had him doing the fish dance for a few seconds, and Floyd didn't bat an eye and took control.

Oh, I know he does have a lot of both. Which will make this Pac fight very interesting.

[J_Undisputed]

The same crew was doing the same thing for Floyd's matches when he was one HBO and a different crew does it now on showtime. Same is done for ward , canelo, Kovalevs, etc. It's part of the broadcast and having 3 people go "that didn't land, that either, wow this guy couldn't hit the side of barn... " isn't going to make people watch. For guys like ward and hopkins, the commentators have to work extra hard because so much of what they do is crafty but missed or muted.

For even the best boxers, lets remember that boxing is a game of inches. Inches, eventually become centimeters, centimeters eventually become millimeters. Slipping punches, eventually becomes getting grazed by punches, then half caught by punches.. Then one day .... you wake up asking what happened. That's what makes boxing so exciting. Even the defensive specialists can get caught by someone regarded as a hack by some.
