Sure you could argue the basic fundamentals are the same, the jab/pot shot, the pull counter and the shell, but to say he never adjusts is just plain out of the question.
The Mosely fight is a prime example of how to adjust.

Originally posted by IronDanHamza View PostHow can you watch Mayweather fight Zab Judah then watch him fight Baldomir in the same year and say he fights the same ever fight? Clearly two completely different game plans.
Diego Corrales, Carlos Hernandez, Jesus Chavez.
Fought all 3 in the same year and fought all 3 differently.
Broke his right hand against Hernandez and fought the rest of the fight as a southpaw but you're telling me he can't make adjustments?
Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley.
Fought in the space of a year and fought both differently.
Even Maidana 1 and 2 aren't the same.
This thread is idiotic on so many levels.

He only excelled at fighting on the outside though, using his fast feet and long arms. He couldn't fight any top level guy like say Pacquiao, who can fight a top level guy and also outbox them on the backfoot.

Mayweather has adjusted to being the smaller man , the lighter man, the older man. He has adjusted to being in there with the brawler, the boxer ect. We have seen him box and hold his own in the pocket.
There is no style that he has not seen and been up against.
The point is not for TBE to change his style, the point is for the challenger to make TBE change his style which 49 boxer have not been able to do.
This is why he gets so much props.. He has been able to impose his will against all comers and they have not been able to adjust to his style.
Watch some more fights little grasshopper.
