Floyd Mayweather, his style

[Ron Swanson]

Any clue why Benton liked to catch the left hook then hook himself while Floyd prefers to roll with the right and shoot the right? I often wonder why each doesn't do more of the other.

Good observation and I wish I could find another great vid of Benton that I used to have where he most definitely does both. You know I dont see anyone ever getting any better with that style then Floyd. I actually think he's perfected it to the point where nobody could get anymore out of it unless the species grew another limb. I always thought Floyd fought more similar to Toney then Benton and Sweet Pea more like Benton. Interesting that George trained them both. Its as if the Mayweathers took the best of all those guys and created a unique style. But that Philly shell as its often referred to was most definitely brought to prominence by Mr. Benton RIP.

Sometimes I picture the Mayweathers slipping into a quiet room and their speech patterns changing, suddenly each is eloquent and sophisticated. In this image they laugh about the trick they have pulled, that they are all so clever but everyone thinks they are crackheads. I know they are as awful as they seem but they clearly know boxing inside and out. I can't rationalize educated men studying the sport for a lifetime and not "getting it" but these dopes understanding every nuance. It's easier for me to imagine it is prestige.
