Floyd's offensive skills leave much to be desired.

    Why the reference to Gatti all the time, hes been smashed around the ring more than a rent boy.

      Fake Floyd's offensive skills?

      What skills?

      Running like a chicken from Baldomir?

      Running and doing nothing against a shot and gassed out DLH?

      Yeah. That's skills.. .. REAL SKILLS.... (SARCASM).

        Haha. Izzy Vasquez wouldve KOd the gassed-out version of DLH in less than a minute. Guaranteed.

          Floyds offensive skills leave a lot to be desired lol ,the guy chooses not to be offensive if he wants to be he can assert himself offensively like he did against Mitchell ,Hernandez, Manfredy ,Chavez

          his willingness to commit to offence can be questioned yes i agree but his ability as an offensive fighter is there he just chooses to use it sparingly ,but i dont think u can question his skills coming foward

          PBF likes to get confident with oponents & be in commading postition then he presses his advantage which might be a cautious way to fight but hey if hes undefeated what can u say

          this thread should not be questioning his ability to fight going foward but his willingness to

            Anyone can get offensive with those fighters. Hell, Bobby Pacquiao even knocked one down.

            Willingness to fight? Since when did we use this very subjective concept in analyzing fights?

              hatton couldn't ko collazo, juan urango, castillo (ran across the ring spun around and took a knee lol) or tsyzu. don't see any offensive power there. last ko he had was against maussa and some youngster just took him out in 1 round where hatton took 9 haha hattons so weak.

                  well there is a huge difference between a fighter who is reluctant to fight coming foward than there is to a fighter who's attacking Boxing is poor IE Chris Eubank

                  some fighters are 1 dimmensional and are'nt as good at backing up as they are coming foward PBF can do both but he is a cautious fighter who chooses opurtune moments to do it

                    Trust me, if Floyd could, he would. Thing is, with elite fighters, he just can't and wouldnt.
