Floyd's offensive skills leave much to be desired.

    He's great at mixing up his offense and defense. That's what great fighter's do. You cant be purely "offensive" and expect to stay undefeated. The same goes with purely defensive boxers like Spinks.

    The best fighters are always the most balanced. The best skills. Floyd Mayweather is up there with the greats.

      Please leave the common sense and boxing knowledge off the forum. Joepal doesn't know what to do when you use those.

        exactly right James Toney was just as hard to hit coming foward as he was going backwards , as is Floyd Mayweather when he gets in the pocket

          Will do.

          Floyd Mayweather is a terrible offensive fighter. Purely defensive skills.

          Doesn't even throw the jab correctly. And his right hand is crooked.

          His left hook....wider then DLH's. And his uppercut. Throws it like a novice 1 fight amateur.

            No. Floyd doesnt have even half the offensive skills of an old Juan Manuel Marquez. Please make a distinction.

                I've made the distinction buddy. I've already blasted on the boards that I view JMM as the best offensive fighter in the sport. And by a landmile.

                But Floyd is phenomenal also.

                  He's got good offensive skills, but they are far from great. Watch JMM-Juarez and you'll catch my drift.

                    So JMM offensive skills = Floyd? GAME OVER.

                      Yet you never seem to have a logical response related to boxing to counter me. I know you don't have a high boxing IQ, but at lease give it a try.
