Punching when the other guy punches is something you don't see much now, when guys have 'high guards' and take turns.
To beat Mayweather you have to draw him out and make him lead.
I think that's a real good example. If you allow the guy to counter and fight off the back foot behind the shoulder you are doomed. Mayweather has got to have the best right hand in the sport. Not power wise but variation wise. A effective jab is another one like Oscar used in the first half of the fight while working behind it instead of standing still watching Floyd.
