to the point where they aren't mentally the same fighters anymore?
last time i checked, UD'ing / pittypatting to a decision does not equate to a "beat down" or "beating up" a fighter to the point where he wants to reconsider returning to the ring. there needs to be a distinction and i think people are overrating the **** out of this dude
Rhythm has everything to do with it. That's why FLoyd usually gets better with every round. He spends most of the early rounds finding his opponents rhythm and when he finds it the fight is technically over after that.
This is what frustrated the hell out of his opponents. There's nothing worse than that IMO. Knowing that every punch you throw will result in pain. So you get beat up from about the 4th round to the 12th. I am sure that many would have preferred to be ko'd.
how does this even relate to me, im starting to think you are a retard.
look at mayweather's opponents faces and tell me straight to my face yeah mayweather beat up dem guys real bad
marquez face looked better in his fight against floyd than it did against pacquiao but the paquiao fight is somewhat contraversial because alot of people feel like marquez won so do you feel paquiao beat marquez up in a close contraversial fight
Watch and learn, son.
For future refernce, please see the one-sided ass kickings of Chico Corrales (down FIVE times), Sharmba Mitchell, Arturo Gatti, Ricky Hatton, and Shane Mosley.
have you ever sparred? have eaten a jab a few times? if not then im done with this conversation.

Explain to me this logic because this post makes absolutely no sense.
Did khan win by beating up maidana? hell no. No one mentions khan laying the "beatdown" on maidana. Khan won by boxing his head off.
now explain to me, how is UD'ing an old ass mosely equate to "beating him up" or laying the "beatdown" like people in here keep on spewing
If someone ate a couple of punches in a street fight before their friends intervened you wouldn't have a problem with saying they got beat down, I've heard people say ''X got beat down after receiving one punch''.
Mosley was getting caught cleanly and connecting with nothing in return, it's not unreasonable to say he got beat up. His corner even thought about throwing in the towel. This seems to be another thread laced with hate, bias and a sprinkle of ignorance.
Hatton contemplated retiring after the Mayweather fight. You can argue that he took the wind out of N'dou's sail too, stopped Gatti's momentum. Mosley also contemplated retiring after their fight but he's in his mid 30s so understandable.
Anyway I don't know why I'm entertaining this crap. In boxing the point isn't to beat your opponent down, the point is to win. Now beating your opponent down is an effective way of winning but it isn't the only method.
hence if you read my post, there needs to be distinction between winning and a ring massacre which floyd isnt really known for

Trick question.
it was a lose/lose situation and EVERYBODY knows it
If he knocks mosley out, "oh, he knocked down an old guy"
he outboxes mosley and its "oh, mosley is old and doesn't have enough stamina to keep up"
Floyd wouldn't have made a different NO Matter what he did, you guys know it, and thats why you use it against him.
When Mayweather fough marquez, people said he was too small.
So why the hell should he fight Manny who is shorter than Both of them?

by your logic maidana clearly beat khan. the sport your talking about is called boxing, the art of hitting without getting hit. i suggest you try the ufc it might be more to your liking. bye.

nice definition. as long as you don't use the word 'beatdown', 'beat up' and floyd in one sentence then everything should be fine :D
