What are the fight in which Floyd had to make adjustments? and when I mean adjustment, I mean he figured out his opponents
If you can give examples, that would be a bonus.
I would say the Hatton fight. For the first 3 or 4 rounds Hatton made it very uncomfortable for Mayweather. Pretty much swarming him and not giving him time to mount an offense. In the later part of the fight he was catching Hatton coming in wide open. He tried the check hook a couple of times before the KD and ultimately stopping him.
To a lesser extent, when Maidana caught him at the end of the 3rd round, he didn't try the counter again until about the 11th when he was well in control of the fight.
He also incorporated the overhand right and the uppercut against Cotto effectively.
in the guerrero fight guerrero was jabbing to the body and as floyd stepped out and got hit with a couple straights lefts....as the fight progressed may started to step in when guerrero jabbed to the body so he could no longer land the left

Ask yourself which fights was he losing going into the second half and then won in the end. Not many but Zab and OLDH I think are the most recent examples.
People say that Floyd figures his opponents out. I think he just starts slow. Well, Floyd starts slow and then STAYS slow. But I think what people call "figuring his opponent out" is more him getting a taste for their power, their speed, their rhythm, and their footwork. Once you have those, you know when to pot shot and shoot that straight right. It's not like he's a lion looking for the sick gazelle in the herd.
The Judah fight, he adjusted to the speed and the southpaw style to take over the fight. Of course it helped Floyd that Zab is mentally weak, but he did adjust.
Canelo fight... He adjusted the weight so he's comfortable fighting the bigger man.
Maidana fight, he adjusted chino's glove the day before so he can take the punches better.
Maidana rematch, he adjusted the ref...
