    Dude...
    You need to watch some more Mayweather fights.

    Floyd has always fought like that.

    Watch the Oscar fight...then the Corely fight.

    Floyd was on the ropes PLENTY in those bouts.
    I think Powerpuncher is on your side here, but you're a bit thick and can't see it! When Floyd was younger, he was pretty aggressive. I don't think he spent much time on the ropes against Corrales and Gatti. At 38, he has adjusted because he has the quality to do so. And like Powerpuncher said, if you're constantly landing, it's not really running, it's ringcraft.

    THis 89 Honda.....I mean fake ass corvette with a body kit is just a wack troll. All he does is say lame ass comments calling people out there name, I bet he spends most of his time on youtube trolling in his moms basement and the other half jerking off to his wack ass comments.

    Floyd was very aggressive like I said when he was pretty boy floyd.

    Look at this dumb nutthugger.

    Floyd was on the ropes when he first got Gatti in trouble........dumb motherfucker
    He was on the ropes when Chop Chop nailed him at 140.

    Cut some bigger holes in your hood and watch some fights.

    Floyd was aggressive when he was younger........... at 130 and 135.....Only a fool or a groupie would expect a small guy like Floyd to remain aggressive as he moved up agianst bigger strong punchers.

    You're not a fool or a groupie are you

    He changed his style to a degree as he moved up.

    Watch him since he moved to 147..
    He camped on the ropes against Oscar several times..watch the fight.

    He fought Pac the same way he fought Carlos Baldomir...watch the fight.

    Mayweather having Pederson used as a measuring stick for him. Brilliant . I must be in the minority, I think Peterson boxed better in the first have than giving credit for. What Mayweather did is what Mayweather does, defense first and time it out late. Both had effect but I could go a lifetime without ever watching them again. That said...Peterson turned into a free swinging fool the second half. He pressed for a ko. But he still sucks.

    Well I've humoured you and entertained you for long enough and I've cut you a little slack because a.) you are clearly a troll and
    b.) you are clearly thick as pigshit.
    you are a dopey dumbass twat who has no clue either about boxing or about trying to put a point forward without making yourself look a prick.
    On many other threads, When I've asked you questions you couldn't answer, you just clam up and go on another thread to start winding somebody else up thinking that nobody will notice that you've been made to look an idiot on the other thread.
    At the end of the day, everybody is laughing AT you and have sussed you out. it's pretty sad and pathetic really. Like all jokes, it's funny for a while , but then it just becomes stale and boring.
    Message to Master,
    I've changed my mind and was wrong. feel free to block this sap!

    Just had a convo with a fella at work, non boxing fan who watched the fight

    I haven't watched the fight

    Him: did you watch the fight?
    Me: no was it any good?
    Him: no it was boring
    Me: did he deserve to win?
    Him: he deserved to win but he just grabbed him all the time

    That's the very first conversation I've had with that fella about boxing, I don't even know if he knows I am a regular boxing fan
    Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
