Mayweather pound for pound ?

[meowza]

He definitely looked very human saturday night.

Early on it looked that way, yeah.
But as the rounds progressed we got the picture that Floyd was quietly wearing Zab down while Zab was landing the more pleasing looking punches.
So what did we learn?
Floyd had a plan and sticks to it.
Floyd picks it up when he needs to.
Floyd can take a big shot.
In my opinion Floyd did not lose any of his aura or luster that night.
I lost no respect for Floyd, gained a little more for Zab (aside from the lowblow incident). The fight had high drama. It was everything I wanted it to be.

s to you both.

I agree with the part above 100% that Entragian said...Judah did indeed make Floyd seem a bit human in the start...not sure if that was Floyd taking his time to figure the puzzle out or if it was more Judah...but Judah was in the ring...so one equals the sum of the other, IWO.

Now...I pretty much agree with all of what you said meowza. Floyd was wearing Zab down as the rounds went by...but I don't think that Zab was landing the more pleasing punches all along.

Personally I think that Floyd tore him up pretty well after the 5th.

Now...that being said...sticking to his gameplan is the least of what he should do...if the way that he fought Judah is his new gameplan.

Going in & going straight to work is the way to do it...the same plan he took against Corrales, Gatti, & Corley is the road to follow...but he was even a bit tentative with Corley.

Yeah I agree I don't like that gameplan for every fight from now on, but for this particular fight he gambled and it worked.
I believe it was his understanding that Zab would come out working for the first several rounds then shut down significantly.
That's when Floyd would turn it on and do the business. And that's what happened.
So instead of going in early on, the plan was to consistently work at a measured pace then beat up a discouraged and frustrated Zab in the middle rounds.

Now, Floyd might be bullshatting and the fight just ended up that way.
But if that was indeed his gameplan, it worked really really well.
