Mayweather's style - dissapointing?

[Azteca]

Who's victory looked more impressive the SD by Baldomir managed to pull off against Zab or the blueprint to "let him swing his way for 4 rounds and than turn up the water and drown him" which Floyd employed to perfection? Who is your favorite active fighter?

You're just talking from an obvious agenda. It doesn't matter what you just said...I was just pointing out that you were wrong. FACT. You were wrong. FACT.

People tend to forget, who exposed Zab Judah as a front runner who gasses out during fights? Was it Kosta? NO. Was it Cory Spinks? NO. It was FLOYD MAYWEATHER who did that and after the fight when asked what his strategy was he said "Zab is a front runner he is good for the first 4 rounds and than gasses out" we found this out because Floyd was the one to expose him as such, and now everyone uses that blueprint.

Touche'.

I never, ever, heard anyone use the phrase "front-runner" regarding Zab until after April 8th, 2006.

After Floyd said it, then people would parrot it over and over. Mostly in an attempt to diminish PBF's achievement.

All I know is that after the Judah fight, Miguel Cotto said that was the best fighter he has ever faced.

Jesus, CHRIST.. For the last time, Mayweather didn't run against De La Hoya. He stayed in the pocket and blocked most of the shots. Hell, he fought most of the fight with his back on the ropes, blocking shots and landing the crisper shots. Against the ropes, you ACTUALLY CAN'T run. He's the naturally smaller guy, fighting a guy with a solid chin and he SOMETIMES have brittle hands, and you expect him to slug it out??? The hell is wrong with people?

No. i respect floyd as a fighter and has a massive skill set but what really pisses me off is he makes fighters like oscar miss ALOT but he doesn't make them pay enough he plays it safe...really safe.

he dosent need to punish the other guy to win
he makes them misss.. hits them with shots when he needs to
and gets the victory... he cant KO oscar so why try if he can win an easy way?

Ryno,

did he fight that way at his normal weight? or does he just fight the much bigger men that way?

have you seen any mayweather fights prior to this past year?

obviously not....

yea he does the bare minimum to win he make them miss and hits them when he needs to and sometimes it's boring not all the time. He's a brilliant boxer but he should WANT to punish them for making them miss and then he could win by a much larger margin instead of playing it safe and doing just what he needs to. I respect him as a fighter so don't think i hate floyd i just think that if he really wants to cement his legecy he should WANT to punish others for missing and if he can KO them then do so.

Just watch fights where Mayweather was at his rightful weight, he threw a lot more and got his KOs there. People should be happy he moved up to a weight where he lost ANY power he had, just to make the more interesting fights. We're all lucky, including him, that he has enough skill to do that.

Yes i have. i saw the gatti fight the n'dou fight etc. I admit he was exciting at lighter weights i know thats the way he fights bigger men but i beleive he is skilled enough to min by a much larger margin than the end result shows.
