Proof that Floyd Mayweather copied the 'pull counter' from Muhammad Ali

Here it is http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=631914 Beautiful boxing

I made a pull counter appreciation thread I'll find it People posted ali's and Mayweather's

And another one one stupid thread on boxingscene.Sick forum

If Floyd had copied the human punching bag style from Muhammad Ali he would be in a home by now drinking through a straw, not still an undefeated champ. Muhammad and Floyd are my 2 least favourite boxers for largely exclusive reasons but in this instance one gets the nod over the other.... Muhammad Ali was smashed from pillar to post in nearly all of his fights against bummy opposition which he outsized. He had no reflexes to speak of. Floyd Mayweather is perhaps the most technically perfect boxer of all time and despite dodging the fights which he would probably lose (like Pac) still has among the best lb for lb resumes of all time against opponents basically the same size. He had some of the best reflexes in all of boxing ever to this point. Troll thread! with obvious agenda!

Floyd counters and gets out of the way, Ali counters and stays there so if the opponent doubles up Ali would have to use his reflexes to block or evade the punch, which is very hard at close range, Floyd's pull counter is definitley the improved version of Ali's Pull counter***65279;.

As stated, the famous move Floyd Mayweather is known for aka 'the pull counter', where he feints in order for his opponent to make a mistake then comes back with a counter straight right hand lead. A lot of fighters who have fought Floyd Mayweather seem to fall for it continuously but to name one who came close with success was Maidana, in the second fight, near end of Round 3. Robert Garcia definitely did study on how to counter it.

Why the hell are you wasting our time with this nonsense? Who the hell cares if he copied the move from Ali or his best friend in the third grade? You act as if you have solved some major crime. What the hell does this have to do with anything?

Maidana wasn't intentionally trying to counter it though (IMO). He simply threw a jab, immediately followed up by a straight right. Against Floyd, that should be done often. But most of the times, it's not. Not even Maidana did it all the time. If Maidana truly knew how to counter it, he would've been catching Floyd all night long. He got hit with dozens of pull counters in both fights. Maidana was definitely looking for that pull counter. Rewatch the fight. Floyd had to be careful with it after getting caught in the third round. The pull counter is a basic move. Its boxing 101. Floyd does it so well because of his reactions, timing and great handspeed. The pull counter has existed since the dawn of time Indeed. The T-Rex was surprisingly effective with the pull counter despite its short arms.

Natural Reflex and Timing really. Who the FUK haven't taken from Legends, you would be stupid not to study the legend before you!

I was never even aware that Floyd claimed he was the one who invented it.

Although Canelo fell for allot that night, anytime Floyd threw the pull, Canelo avoided it. I think Floyd tried it maybe 4 times that night.

i remember when I watched my first boxing match You copied watching boxing matches from Bert Sugar.

The pull counter has existed since the dawn of time Thank you!!!! /stupid thread What's next? A video showing that Wlad "copied" the jab from Holmes? Anything at all to discredit a fighter. My god. Yeah, its really a silly trend Some of these guys try too hard to discover something ... and only end up discovering and exposing how little they know about boxing.

Pacquiao copied the straight left hand from Hagler Without a doubt. I've seen youtube videos of Hagler throwing the left hand. WAAAAAY before Pacquiao ever did it.

Mike Tyson copied being a heavyweight from George Foreman. I seent it.

Ali copied the pull counter from Gene Tunney. Why do white fighters don't get credit anymore? SMH

And Ali copied it from someone else, what exactly is your point? Every fighter learns from someone. No there are pioneers in the sport, otherwise boxing would never progress and move forwards.
