I personally love floyds fighting style... your watching a genius at the science...i loved watching gatti fight to see him put his balls on the line and throwing haymakers when he himself was about to get knokced out.... but i also like how floyd fights... i like seeing him make his opponents miss... and never hit him cleanly.. i like seeing him with his twitching reflexes.. and watching him how he completely analyzes his opponents.. never taking his eyes off them... i like watching him block and catch every single incoming punch, and then counter them real fast...
Floyd doesnt run... floyd moves, and then sets himself again...
ill say that again... floyd, does, not, run... HE... MOVES... he simply doesnt let his opponent do what they want to do... if an opponent runs in... he runs out.. not because hes scared, not because hes running AWAY... because he doesnt let his oponent do what they wants to do... as soon as floyd moves away.. he comes right back to the opponent again, looking for his opening.. if floyd ran... he wouldnt come back to the opponent... he controls the fight... he controls everything... he is, a master at the sport, and if you cant see that, then your blind... you dont have to like floyd.. a TON of people dont... but dont be blind to the facts
i like floyds style... its genius, its perfect, and nobody can beat it... heres why... he can adapt to any style.. if you box him, hes faster and smarter than you, his defense is air tight... if you pressure him... he ll roll his punches and come back with fast counters... he will adapt to any style and that includes cottos... he will adapt... and then he ll use your strength against you... his answers will be faster and better then yours...
and after last night...the one thing people say floyd doesnt have is power... and i actually agree... and what does he do... knocks out hatton... the guy oblivious to pain... and i like hatton... but floyds win last night was HUGE... give the guy respect.. hes fuckin earned it
I'm training 5-6 days a week here in Atlanta in hopes that I could ever be 1%as good as "Money May"!!! He is my inspiration in the fight game; his style is what's called boxing my friends!!! One of the Trainers at my gym has been training for 50 years and he says that boxing doesn't exist anymore. It's a craft that must be honed a craft that means hit and not get hit. They constantly tell us that a boxer picks the punches he wants to connect with and as flush as they choose to connect. The don't have to punch for the bleachers because they're punch will be so accurate and precise that they will achieve the desired effect from a technically sound flush accurate punch. We work on fundamentals, not just walking into a ring and brawling. I would love to fight as magnificently as Floyd does, to be able to pick and choose what punch I will fuck you up with, because then my friends will the sweet science be totally under your grasp.
you like men who back up the entire fight and fight off the ropes and doesn't even try to entertain his fans by throwing and landing more punches? But fighting so cautiously and boring?that's funny. last time i checked, floyd lands more punches on his opponents, and floyd doesn't throw combination like he used to, and used to throw them so beautifully, but he does have hand issues, so he fights smart, and he throws combos some, and they are still effective seeing how they brak his opponents dowm, but he's at a higher weight, and again he has hand issues so why danger yourself by throwing too many combos when you can move around good, stll outland your opponents even if you throw no combos at all. de la hoya threw combos and missed most of them while mayweather still outlanded him by throwing one or two combos, this is why floyd's that good. he oout everything together well, not just one trait, everything from the defense to the offense. take notes.
He is also a very underrated body puncher. People kill me always saying he is coward because he runs. Its called boxing folks. Hit without being hit.
I also like how he takes over a fight once he figures you out. I do feel he needs to let his hand go more frequently.
His power is also very underrated. I'm not saying he has the one hitta quitter, but you aint about to take to many of his right hand leads flush either. You're bound to fall.(ask Hatton)
Overall Floyd is the on top of his shit and if you're trying to dethrone him you need to be very, very physical and out think him.(just my opinion)
some guys fight forward, some guys fight backwards.... how bout when floyd spun your guy around and put him on the ropes.. he does everything cuz he wanst too.. not cuz hes forced... dont ever forget that
I wish Floyd would throw more punches in a fight and throw combinations. He not only looks 5x as good when he does it, he seems to be twice as effective.
