The problem I see with Floyd lately has been his offense. His punch output is way too low now, the punches he's throwing aren't punches that are going to hurt anybody (pull counters, jabs to the body, etc) and he's starting to become too predictable. If you notice, Maidana countered Floyd's pull counter at the end of the 3rd round of the rematch with a right hand. That wasn't luck, he saw it coming. Floyd's gonna have to mix it up offensively and start throwing combinations. With his skill, speed and accuracy there's no reason for him to NOT throw 3-4 punch combinations. Other than that, I think he's ok. Defense is still sharp, movement is still there when he needs it. Dat OFFENSE doe...........
That's what I am anticipating, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
It appeared that fight was relatively close going into the 10th.
Eh, I don't know. Hatton's hand and foot speed is superior to Maidiana's and I think that played a factor into how effective his pressure was early on in that fight. With Maidana being more of a slow, plodding fighter with less hand speed I honestly don't see Floyd having as much of a problem dealing with Maidana as he did Hatton. I had Floyd up 7-2 going into the 10th.
Floyd's lost his legs? When he had legs you all accused him of "running" and now that he doesn't have legs (supposedly) he has no chance to win and is going to get knocked out? LMAO, man some people are really stupid.
FLOYD going get busted up, get ready ready your jaw is going to drop!
Man....no! Arguably the best defensive fighter in boxing history is going to get "busted up" by a slow, flat-footed brawler with a two inch reach disadvantage? Please......Guerrero will be lucky if he makes it past 6. I predict a Gatti beating. Floyd's gonna be tagging this dude AT WILL.
Zab poses no problem for Garcia. I always thought that Zab was WAY WAY over rated.
LOL. He posed problems for Matthyse, but won't for Garcia? C'mon man, think.
Marquez can keep his biased opinions to himself. I think that he is still jealous of Pacquiao. PAC wins at this point. Marquez mouth will cost me thousands if this fight is not blocked by an Oscar and Arum coup d' etat.
LOL, the only thing that will "cost you thousands" is you being dumb enough to actually bet on Pacquiao. There's no way in any point in time that Manny Pacquiao beats Floyd Mayweather. Marquez isn't "jealous", why the hell would he be jealous of a dude that he knocked out cold and humiliated? Marquez fought both guys, and probably dislikes them both since they both beat him so if anything his opinion on the two is probably 100% honest and genuine.
no one will, everyone knows mayweather is just a marketing ploy, a gimmick, Any top fighter at 147 would beat ortiz, guerrero, drained to death canelo, a hasbeen cotto, and go life and death with maidana.
Mayweather doesnt make it out this fight on his own 2 thats for sure.
I don't think you understood the article. He said he wouldn't be surprised if Floyd knocked Pac out in 6 rounds or less not got knocked out in 6 rounds or less lol. It's funny how you say he's a "gimmick" yet he beat all those fighters you named. If Floyd was a gimmick he would've lost a LOOOONG time ago. And how is he a "marketing ploy" when the media HATES him? Has been Cotto? Cotto only had 2 losses when Floyd fought him. Drained to death Canelo? Lmao, dude was fighting at welterweight in 2010 and he was like 22 years old when they fought. Canelo had no problem making 150 for that fight trust me. Just give the man credit for God's sake.
