"I dont beat my opponent, they beat themselves".
What are you guys thoughts on what this means. I interpret it as I allow my opponent to make all the mistakes and I just capitalize on them. I mentioned this to someone before that the guy is about the only boxer alive that beats his opponents with his brain.
His fists are secondary.
Damn didnt look at it like that.
Yes, it's all psychological. No two Mayweather fights are the same. I don't like to say that no one can get beat, but I'm at the point where I'm thinking this is the case for Floyd. His mental toughness is bar none, the best in boxing and it isn't even close. He WANTS to get booed by the crowd. He loves the role of the villian. Every time Floyd has walked into the ring, he has left the victor. What is the blueprint to beat him? You have to be a more skilled boxer and who boxing is more skilled than Floyd? When you are throwing more than Floyd yet Floyd is tagging you at will, that works against you in your brain. All that matrix shit he does in the pocket messes with you mentally and it takes the other boxer out of their game.
It's like Tiger on Sunday's in the red shirt and Jordan in the 4th quarter. The championship rounds for Floyd, it's no different. Floyd gets stronger as the fight goes on because by that time, he's figured you out and is exploiting your weaknesses and by that time, we are coasting to a UD.
hit and not be hit
agreed...his would be opponents end up fighting each other
Floyd is best defender in the game he don't wanna talk like his daddy and roger when he gets older and hell how could blame him
I'm saying that's how he sometimes beat his opponents he is forcing them to do something that is out of their game, just like Marquez. That's why it is more likely that two mayweathers put in the ring will hardly be a fight but a thinking match with less punches thrown. Anyways that was just all hypothetical and calling me dumb about that is funny when there are a lot of Mayweather fans talk about fantasy fights.
Go watch UFC.
So basically you're saying that you want him to fight like Pac pure aggression. Sorry but thats not his style, his style is to turn boxers aggression against them and he does that better than anyone.

Dumb? I'm talking about if and only if putting 2 Mayweathers in the ring. When was the last time he initiates? Maybe when he was young but when he become Money May he hardly initiates a fight.So basically you're saying that you want him to fight like Pac pure aggression.

do you know how dumb you sound?:nutkick:
The fact that ALL of Mayweather's opponents have thrown 100 or more punches than him in every fight BUT he is still OUTLANDS them should let you know just how good he is.
He doesnt need to let his hands go or have a punch volume because his accuracy makes up for the lack of volume
Question: do you actually watch boxing or do you just skim through it?

If ever we see 2 Mayweathers fighting we would be witnessing full 12 rounds of zero punches thrown. You may ask why? Well, neither of them initiates. When they're just about to get close they would back pedal thinking one of them will throw a punch. It's like watching two magnets of like poles repel each other.
I was happy that Floyd will be fighting Shane but the truth is it was not planned and Floyd had to say yes coz that was his only option.
And then he meet Sugar Shane.
Kapookkkk! Floyd GET KO'd COLD. So Cold Flomos freeze to their seat in shock peeing...
the end.
PBF= RJJ
shane or pac = tarver
That's because Mayweather doesn't game plan. He goes out there and adjusts to his opponent, effectively beating him.
Floyd is a genius in the ring. Thats why I said he can survive any era of boxing.

Mayweather fights a different style every fight and can beat any style out there. For everyone hating on him....you need to appreciate one of the most gifted fighters in your lifetime or you will ever see.
I think he became a thinker in the ring as he grew older, He became more wiser and intelligent, Most of his opponents already lost before they get in the ring with him mentally and when they get in there they are faced with someone who they find sooo frustrating to pin down and land anything on, I want to see how the Mosley fight goes just to see how Mosley react to the mental aspect of been in there.
Great post dude. He knows hes out matched physically so he beats them mentally. GREAT fighter.
