The excuse is people gas out when fighting Floyd, but why?

[LoadedWraps]

Why take away the reason Floyd makes them gas...

1-The well placed body shots

2-Making them miss shots and accurate counter shots

3-The movement and making them follow him


In Boxing you use more energy missing shots then landing them, and well placed body shots are like someone taking gas out of your car..So instead of saying oh so and so just needed more stamina, give Floyd his credit

If a fighter is making you miss and making you constantly reset around the ring, it will tire you out. Floyd excels at this. Sure, bodyworks helps too, but that takes away your legs but what tires your arms and forces you to reset are missing punches and getting thrown off balance, as well as obviously simply moving around the ring and forcing the other fighter to chase.

Floyd don't gas because he moves and punches as little as possible. Like Hopkins. He's very relaxed and calculating in the ring. Nobody can fight at the pace Maidana fought at in the first fight and not gas.

Canelo was 23 and growing and Floyd took him down to 152. That's not prime condition. And anyway, even if it was, Canelo isnt legendary or great by any means. He's barely getting by fighters like Austin Trout.

So basically you're saying Floyd shouldn't get credit for fighting any variation of Canelo? Also I love how you downplay how good Trout is to fit your wack-ass argument.

Didnt Maidana throw twice as many punches as FLoyd, so why shouldn't Maidana have been gassed? But the reward Maidana should have got for throwing more punches, and landing only a handful less, is a win. But Maidana was robbed of victory.

Dude floyd is a good fighter, but not everybody is impressed with the opposition he dominates. Until he does that to a real serious threat, you just stirring up the pot for all the negativity to fly.

Who do you consider a real serious threat (in his weight class please)?

[Mr.Fantastic]

Maybe if he fought more guys at their absolute peak.....

^^^^^^

Now days there are 4 different organizations in which you can win a belt in. It's so much easier than back in the days. So their will be way more champions than before guys that would have never even been close to a title before have alot more chances of becoming Champsnow . Also Floyd picks who he fights he doesn't really fight mandatories so he picks good solid fighter who was or is a champion but no necessarily the best fighter available. Be honest and when was the last time he chose to fight a TOP fighter in his prime?

Canelo!!!!

[Larry the boss]

Canelo hasn'teven hit his yet, but ok count Catchweight canelo who else? 2007 hatton? Before then what his lightweight days? I don't really consider canelo top guy yet itthought he lost to lara and his best win is a controversial one vs trout

hold on hold on...are you honestly going there?? broke knee Foreman, broke knee Martinez.. all his other titles are vacant titles...

[jayblack]

A drained Canelo. Making 152 made him look terrible.

How soon we forget that Canelo suggested the weight, Floyd agreed.

Bro when was cotto ever mentioned in this thread? Cotto atleast had the BALLS to fight all the fighters Floyd been ducking. Fought prime PACQUIAO ( FLOYD NIGHTMARE), Margarito who had floyd shook in that video and stuttering like an idiot even martinez had been calling out floyd for years and Floyd never wanted it not even after his surgery. Cotto about to face canelo in one of his next 2 fights and he will fight him at his best weight not drain him knowing he's already struggling to make 154
