The single most impressive aspect of Floyd's game to me

Agreed. I knew that it was going to be an easy night when Floyd dropped his hands and got into that sprinter's stance. That is what he does once he has you figured out. I have never seen a fighter dedicate the first three rounds to figuring out a fighter the way Floyd does. He is like the Rain Man of boxing. whitaker, period.

But he knows and hears everything going on in the arena. We remember the football picks. But the MOST impressive thing is when Lampley said "Floyd turns southpaw for the second time", and PBF turns to him and says "Third time". Think about that shit. What fight was that I have been looking to see that fight for ages.

LOL I so agreee me and my boy saw floyd drop his hands and we were both like ITS OVER!... roy does that ... as soon as hes comfortable... as soon as he knows that to do.. the hands drop... the confidence rises... the rainman of boxing "these definitely arent my boxer shorts... definitely... definitely not... of course... of course your boxer shorts are definitely on the highway" lol

That what makes him undeafted. He is so focus and does so little mistake. That what made him rarely look bad in a fight even though some fighters he fought are pretty good he made them look bad and amataurish. For fighters who want to beat Mayweather they shouldnt only be thinking of streanghth or speed but to outsmart him which is why I dont see fighter at WW beating him.

I agree. this along with careful opponent selection is why he is undefeated. the guy has skills. your posts AMAZE me! lol..I just laugh at you man. Nothing is good enough for you.

yeah especially on the counters.http://i14.tinypic.com/7xjsrxw.gif that is what you talking about right there 2501!

I know what you mean about his concerntration rarely takes his eyes off his opponent for a second. Also I have heard I certain commentator suggest he may practice yoga or some sort of special breathing exercises because of the way he fights in bursts, controls the action and never gasses out.

I would say his ring smarts. His concentration and ring smarts go hand in hand that he is CONSTANTLY planning his moves and his counter attacks.

i had my one buddy watch the hatton figth with me again... and hes not into boxing as much as me but he liked how good floyd was... and i told him.. dont watch anything but floyds eyes.. and youll see why hes so good.... he analyzes everything you do.. and after he watched him.. hes like wow i know what your saying now... he anticiaptes everything through his eyes.... your guys argument is a tad ridiculous... i dont think its one thing in particular that makes floyd so good... but rather the idea that he has all of them, and uses them together... hence as he is referred to as... the "total package" its everything that he has that makes him so gifted...

they were effective at that and not much else, neither of them barely landed a thing on floyd, oscar was a bit more effective but he still clearly lost in the eyes of most, hatton was almost completely ineffective at everything else but smothering and crowdign mayweather and that shit only worked for about 5 rounds until the tables turned. agreed, although I did have Oscar beating Mayweather by 1 rounds, but Hatton didnt do enough.

Have to disagree with this as of late, Oscar and Hatton both were the ring generals in his last two fights. they were effective at that and not much else, neither of them barely landed a thing on floyd, oscar was a bit more effective but he still clearly lost in the eyes of most, hatton was almost completely ineffective at everything else but smothering and crowdign mayweather and that shit only worked for about 5 rounds until the tables turned.

i agree when u can stand infront of someone & have the ordasity & calmness to stay there in the pocket & not get hit while tagging your oponent with counters that is something special Ring Generalship is his greatest asset just as it is James Toney's greatest asset Have to disagree with this as of late, Oscar and Hatton both were the ring generals in his last two fights.

No, speed isnt his most impressive aspect, speed doesnt make you more intelligent, his calmness and his ring intelligence are what makes him who he is, James Toney is very similar, he remains calm at all times. i agree when u can stand infront of someone & have the ordasity & calmness to stay there in the pocket & not get hit while tagging your oponent with counters that is something special Ring Generalship is his greatest asset just as it is James Toney's greatest asset

Check out SRL vs Donny Lalonde. Ray looked super focused, his eyes were wide open. I remember thinking 'man Lalonde aint have a chance, Ray Ray's eyes so wide open he gon see everything coming'...

His adaptability is his best asset to me, the one that makes him a true great when inside the ring and makes me think at least a bit before choosing someone over him in a head to head matchup.

I think he is a very focus fighter in the ring, He doesnt seem to lose that focus and that gives him the edge in the ring.

Please dnt think i was cursing your boy out because i said his main attribute is speed.Obviously he has alot else going for him..if he was JUST a speed merchant..then he'd be a fighter like Zab judah. Exactly therefore is best attribute is not his speed alone, his best attribute is the fact that he as several best attributes. Speed, Ring Smarts, and defense...

no no...your wrong...listen if it wasnt about speed..ten dnt you think someone like SRL, with his boxing brain would still be fighting now...and beating people?..but he istn..because as good as his boxing brain was..his speed allowed him to carry out what his boxing brain told him to do...so obviously when his speed slowed down.a.s he got older...he became less of a fighter..doesnt mean his boxing brain or ring smarts had disminshed...it wassimply his ability to do what his brain is telling him to do. I gather you love PBF..and i wasnt saying he wasnt a talented figher,or he does not have ring smarts...but you can have allthe ring smarts in the world...but without the speed of thought to carry them out..to duck n dive, to slip punches, to snap sum1's neck back 3 times within what seems like half a second...then your not going to be as great as SRL was,and PBF is. Please dnt think i was cursing your boy out because i said his main attribute is speed.Obviously he has alot else going for him..if he was JUST a speed merchant..then he'd be a fighter like Zab judah. i understand what you were saying, i just disagree with it, you are free to have your opinion, i wouldnt put you down for it.

I think he most impressive aspect is how he makes everything seem automatic. And he adapts so well..his ablity to adapt is amazing. And he never gets over anxious either very controled.
