floyd mayweather on the pads

[donnydarkoIRL]

Just a supplement to Chris' explanation.

I believe that inadvertently the Mayweather padwork helps speed and power through the repetition of correct punching technique and commiting these habits to muscle memory.

Other camera angles will also reveal that Mayweather uses the feet and knees as much if not more than the hands with little shifts and pivots accounting for much of his defense and offense.

I tend to be of the move them line of thought,and changing the punches I want constantly.
Done right,it trains in an instinct of "You see it,you hit it"

at the risk of stepping on some toes...

it does fuck all.

it's to impress the fans.

Remember Hatton taking the piss out of Floyd's pad work.

Do you even have to wonder why Floyd(Although I am not a fan of his) has such a longevity in boxing and speed intact? He is willing to do more and what others hate doing to remain large and in charge! If it looks weird it repels some but to take that next step means you have got to give more.

Yea and it got him knocked out..

Floyd's pad routine has a purpose and it's one of the best ive seen.
