Phenom, what is amazing is that if Pernell boxed a guy he really was out of range of punches so he could not be hit. But Floyd is actually in range alot but does not get hit. His defense is more of a rhythm defense added to his ducking punches in someways. Roy Jones Jr. was offense being defense in someway.. This is almost more impressive, although Roy was impressive in his own way. But about Floyd, he is sometimes right in line for a punch and he cannot be hit. He has a great ability to be in range and not be hit and then swing a good counter, and he was the smaller guy in range of Oscar's punches yet he really was not hit much except a right hand at the end of round 11 which was sort of a punch Oscar got off since Floyd was against the ropes and had no where else to go. I think he has amazing defensive skills -very different from Pernell. In a way more impressive than Pernell in that he is orthodox and leans back and still is not hit clean. He is a mix a Roy Jones, Michael Nunn and Pernell Whitaker with a little Meldrick Taylor and slight James Toney.. I hate to put all those fighters in one. but much more resourceful than Meldrick by far. People have to give him credit. He is good and I am inclined to say great if he does this a few more times. I say forget the rematch and fight Mosley.. Then maybe move back down and show people what he can do with Margarto. I think Margarito is good but people think he can beat Mayweather? Who knows. The right hand would give him an advantage, but something tells me Mayweather would probably find the key around that.
