Is It Just Me Or Has Floyd Mayweather Jr Not Been As.....

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

The 1st thing I was looking for in the Mayweather fight was some idea of how fast he still was... I think the 1st punch he threw was a left hook. I missed it.

He is still frighteningly fast!

The only thing is, I dont think he can maintain that speed through combinations.

Creatures of habit..his body probably has forgotten how to, because pot shotting is much safer...In the judah fight even lennox lewis noticed that he'd just throw one straight right and lean in to hold...

I'd be surprised if he threw more than two punches together at all against Mosley

Your last comment is exactly my point mate, i honestly don't think he has been as impressive like he was at the lower weightclasses. Just remind yourself folks how offensive he was at the lower weightclasses, and the combinations he threw. While being excellent defensively.

I agree here - The best thing you can do to bring Floyd Mayweather out of his shell is HIT HIM!!

I know it's hard but land a shot on him and he becomes a spoilt, tit for tat, brat (poet!)

Watch him vs Corley - When he got hurt, he came back all guns blazing and both fighters were landing big shots on each other. When the round ended he jumped up and down like an over-excited kid! Was hilarious.

In a way I can see what Ice is saying. He's never had one of those wow fights where you really take notice. Mosley had 1 last time vs Margarito but Floyd hasnt because he wins fights on points with safety first tactics and he hasnt met anyone capable of beating him. Basically every fight he has gone into, we knew he would win before the 1st bell. This is the 1st time thats not happeing.

I remember the days when nobody cared about Floyd. He demanded more money but nobody wanted to buy his fights. He should thank Oscar for giving him a chance on the big stage. Since then Floyd has been in the public eye and this zero he has on his record seems to mislead people that he is invincible. He fought Hatton next and HBO had Ricky ahead after 6 rounds. A washed up Tszyu did better than that after 6 rounds. If Ricky did what he did in the 1st half or the 2nd half he would have won. He couldnt keep it up just as Oscar and Judah let their leads go aswel. Then Floyd got a points win over Marquez which is no better result than Norwood and John got over Marquez at the Mexicans prime weight when he was at his best.

Now comes Mosley who is touching 40. The fact is Mosley at this advanced age and coming off 5 losses is the biggest test Floyd has ever had. If a limited guy like Castillo pushed Floyd close then so will Shane tomorrow.

Ledermans card means nothing...Hatton was never coming close to winning that fight. The real judges had Floyd was up..which he was.

1st Castillo fight..Floyd has a torn rotator..Respectfully gives him an immediate rematch and removes any doubt.

The whole "every fight he has gone into we knew he would win" is so untrue lol it amazes me how many people say that after picking against him. ODLH people picked against him, Hatton people picked against him..hell, I even saw an old post a while back where Daxx picked Baldomir to "steam roll" him!

I agree with you on this - Mosley should give him something to think about..but if he doesn't? Or Floyd is too good? "We knew he would win before he even stepped into the ring"

?? WTF?

You being serious? Mayweather just broke him down and worked him out simple as that, Hatton was his usual predictable self and Floyd adapted and busted him up, you mention same happened in the other two fights do you not see a pattern emerging? Floyd comes on stronger as the fight goes on.

Not on my card. Im saying Hatton is trash but HBO had him ahead after 6 so Im saying Floyd was behind according to his own Countries commentary.

I agree with you on this - Mosley should give him something to think about..but if he doesn't? Or Floyd is too good? "We knew he would win before he even stepped into the ring"

Yeah If Floyd wins it will be the 1st time he has been up against it and won but Im sure people will still say he was beating an old man coming off 5 losses.

...he's looked good enough to get pac (who's looked great recently) to say he can't take the same test floyd and shane are willing to take to avoid fighting him for whatever millions of dollars he would have made. Another thing i take into account is floyd isn't a fighter he's a boxer. He's more than content to do enough to win and keep his brains intact in his later years. No use making millions if you can't even keep your hands from shaking long enough to get any of it out of the atm, assuming you can even remember you pin number at that point. Same will go for saturday, this will be a boring uneventfull fight. Floyd will do just enough needed to win as always. He takes his chances here and there but they are few and far between. Can't say i really blame him. This is boxing not Ko'ing.
