Floyd Sr showing his skills

Ray not only finished him but knocked him down twice in the process. He got a beating in the end but going ten with ray still shows he was a pretty good level of fighter and no journey man. Roger wouldnt have lasted as long because of his chin.

spazzes lol? its called shoe shine combinations, a quick string of punches meant to score points and force your opponent to cover up but not cause significant damage. just bcuz he doesnt always sit down on his punches doesnt mean he cant sit down on his punches when he wants to. good fighters dont throw with full force everytime they punch. leonard and ali were known for throwing shoe shine combinations too, did they have god awful technique as well? his punches are very good, always nice and short and he pivots just enough to get a little bit of snap even on his shoeshine combos. when he does sit down on his punches he turns into them well. no apparent flaw in his technique other than the aforementioned chicken wing, tendency to slightly backhand the jab and sometimes slap a little with his right when he loops it over the top. all in all his technique is still solid though, calling it god awful is ridiculous. Yeah leonard did that a lot. Roy Jones never did which was really impressive because he always threw fully committed shots at full speed, so that he didnt take any power off and still had the level of speed he did is really something

He was better defensively and more athletically gifted than Roger, Roger however had an insanely good right hand and a lot more power. I don't know why I gave that HolyCross poster the benefit of the doubt, should have known he was hating.

his punching technique is god awful Someone has no idea what they're talking about. Mate, go to a gym with a good coach and learn something. Thinking you know about proper punching technique from watching Pacquiao is different to actually knowing proper technique. Sr has excellent all around boxing technique. Don't get in deeper by disagreeing. Just go learn how to throw correct punches from someone that actually knows. :twak:

inconsistent but pretty good at his best. anyone who went the distance with prime leonard knows how to fight, tough as nails too bcuz ray really gave him a beating. if he fought today he would win a title for sure. not as good as roger though, at his best he was a better fighter than jeff imo even though he accomplished less, just more inconsistent. Ray not only finished him but knocked him down twice in the process.

The way he 'chicken wings' his right arm when he throws a jab had me in stitches, especially when he was throwing several of 'em. :rofl: That's the thing that stood out to me and his inside work was pretty good, I noticed that too.

He was a better amatuer than a pro! When he stepped up he got beat and he only stepped up against Leonard, Starling (twice) his opponents (95%) have loosing records. He was a good worker in the ring but he had no power he was a safe match for marginal guys but he did out hustle most of them. I knew him since he was a very young amatuer and a few of my kids fought him atleast twice that I could remember in Regional Tournys. He didn't have the pop that Roger had and his son is a much more fluid boxer but Floyd Sr. had no problem mixing it up with anyone and I doubt he was stopped often. I don't think he had alot of pro fights and I think he had an injury that side lined him too. Ray.

Jesus Christ, the Mayweather vs Pacquiao hate knows no limits. Pac.tards don't really care about actual boxing discussion. Nor do they know anything about boxing for the most part, other than that Manny participates in the sport.

His footwork is ****ed.

why do you noobs think im going on about the "shoe shine" combo? you can see his god awful technique in his straigth right, he's ass and legs do a spazz, he's too tight and he pulls his punch way too early aswell as not turning his core enough(trying to be faster than really is), back too straight on uppercuts that's god awful punch technique if i've ever seen :slap: honestly all of his punches suck except for maybe the left to the body Jesus Christ, the Mayweather vs Pacquiao hate knows no limits.

2:44-2:46 mark in the video...thats mayweather both

Sr. was a good fighter

The old man was pretty quick, lol

man shut up damn you came into this thread with hate on your mind cause you saw the name Mayweather Go easy on him, he is new to boxing :D

I was quoting Kev's post. lol I was wondering like wtf kinda answer is that? it just showed your post and an arrow up at mine. Next time just hit the quote reply button to save confusion lol

He wasn't 60 in that video I was quoting Kev's post.

^ He's 60 years old. He wasn't 60 in that video

^ He's 60 years old.

Biggest flaw I seen in him is he was a little stiff. You can see it in his upper body and his lack of waist movement and that's why people are saying he is an arm puncher. He was a good fighter though, put good combo's together and hit with power. He just isn't anything close to what his son became. Floyd is so fluid. yeah his punch technique is not really good, its almost malignaggi style punching. Also when Floyd sr. throws punches he has his mouth open and chin up to get countered, Sugar Ray Leonard was countering him when they fought.

He embarrassed Zelenoff earlier this year or last year in a sparring session. I mean it's Zellenoff afterall, but this is a 50 something year old, ill, old man. He looked like Mosley against Margarito, only that Zelenoff quit.
