MAYWEATHER: I fight BETTER going backwards

[RHETOЯIC]

Floyd tends to move forward and press the action when he knows his opponent is either tired, hurt, or not a threat. That night, Judah pressed Floyd for the majority of the first 4 rounds. Floyd then reversed the roll once Judah gassed out.

Stfu.
Stop talking to me like I don't know boxing, monkey.

[oovavu]

I wish my bank manager would comment on my fighting style.

I thought Mayweather had already said he was going to go "toe-to-toe" with Hatton? Well that lasted long. Still more than six weeks until fight night and already Mayweather is going backwards. What a surprise.

That is true. This is shy Floyd gets so much flack. I clearly remember him saying that if a toe-toe fight is what the fans want, then that's what he's going to give them.

That is not what happened at all.

Floyd pressed the action from minute one. He came forward right from the outset. It took him awhile to get Zab's timing down and to acclimate to being, perhaps, not the faster man.

Between the early rounds, you can hear Roger telling him to stay with the plan. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

PBF's early pressure and bodywork is what wore Zab down. There was no role reversal.

I told you guys before- pbf will say whatever he needs to to SELL the fight. But when it comes down to the ACTUAL fight, he is going to fight the winning gameplan.

why would you go fight another guy's gameplan?

Are u serious? Out of the first 6 rounds, how many did u give to Zab?

Exactly.
Roger kept on saying, "Keep walkin' dat mutha****a down."

In my opinion, Floyd's corner kept him on track by telling him to keep doing it what he was doing even though Zab was getting the better of him early on.

Zab finally faded and Floyd took over. He never changed a thing.

If Peyton Manning told you that he was gonna run the ball himself 20 times, would you:

a) believe him?

and

b) think that was smart?

Exactly! Zab gassed out, and thats when Floyd became more offensive.

why would you go fight another guy's gameplan?

When it comes down to it there are two styles of fighting - the winning style and the losing style. Floyd is obliged to fight in the style which gives him the best chance of winning. He is also obliged to acknowledge what this style is and there is absolutely no need to say he is going to go toe-to-toe with Hatton in order to sell the fight. There are plenty of other things he can say to sell the fight and I am sure someone of Mayweather's intelligence could think of a couple himself.
