Floyd Mayweather, his style

[Andre]

Ah thats a great vid .Thnaks Jim hadnt seen that before,going to have to watch that a few times to read what he's saying,instead of being fixed on the action.
Wish I knew Spanish.

Love the way he utilizes his elbows and stays put so he is dealing with the storm from within the eye.

Also those little disruptive taps he places onto others arms during combos to pull the power out of them when he is caught on the ropes.

A minimalist master.

There is another vid that highlights Floyd's use of head inside to keep his opponent off balance. Need to find that one...

*** Edit***

Can this be moved on the the main board?

[Fenster]

Just gonna ask why you posted it in that board

In terms of the sweet science, I don't think it gets any better than Floyd. A true sports virtuoso.

As for Manny, hindsight is 20/20. Maybe he should have looked into some of that defense. I've never seen Floyd layed out on the canvas for a 10 count before, let alone 3 times like Manny.

Manny is a different person. Manny never had the unique privileges that Floyd enjoyed growing up around boxers, practically in the gym, under his father and uncle's tutelage. Pacquiao came to boxing later and fights with the same hunger that got him off the street. It may not be as pretty but it has taken him a long way. As for Floyd not losing or never having been knocked down that is a testament to his defensive skills but also a product of what is often a safety first style. There are fighters better than Floyd with losses and KO's on their record and every time somebody tries to pull that out like a trump card it kind of cheapens their logic for me. Floyd has 26 KO's in 46 fights, Manny has 38 in 61 so at a KO percentage of 61 and 64% there does not seem to be a huge difference between them but Styles will dictate that Pacquiao has always put himself in more precarious and dangerous situations than Floyd. If either changed their styles drastically they would not be as successful, it's what makes them the fighters they are.

Name them. I'm sure Duran is one of them. The guy who quit in the middle of a championship fight because he had a tummy ache and he was getting made to look foolish by a superior boxer. Or Tommy Hearns, the guy with no chin and had NO IDEA what to do when he got rocked. Yeah, those guys were much better than Mayweather.
