He is one of the best "counter move/ counter punch" boxers! Thats it!!!
Theres nothing exciting about him, he relies on his opponents "chance to win" and the fans who think he is great have never seen a great fighter in reality!!
He's refined skills to be defensive and his promotional position as the "heel" or from the "hood" is a joke that his fans actually believe.
He falls in with the likes of Wilfred Benitez and Jimmy Young or Bernard Hopkins as a step off and slide the ropes technician.
He's carefully orchestrated a career filled with past good fighters and second tier talents as opponents and has gotten away with promoting these bouts as a special test to his "undefeated record" which a sell job to the rubes.
Excellant talent (eye hand), extremely knowledgable, student of the game, promotional salesman, hard worker, excellant condition!
Belongs at 140lbs when mentioning his place against other fighters. As a Welter he would be engulfed by the great welters, he is very small in stature and has minimal power compared to the elite welters. Certainly the most profitable fighter of his generation but he's also disliked by so many boxing fans who think he's minipulated the public into thinking he's a superior fighter by engaging opponents that were "picked" at a time in their careers where they were far less a challenge than in their prime!
I personnally don't care for Floyds style especially when theres such an absence of top tier opponents to "make the fight"!
You know he's going to win, the way to succeed is known too...........
......its Pro Wrestling......lots of drama, not much substance! Ray
