Floyd's offensive skills leave much to be desired.

[joepal]

i see it as a badge of honor

It sure is. Sadly, it is severely lacking in our so-called p4p king.

[Jim Jeffries]

His offensive arsenal is full, he switches up throws punches you don't expect and has every punch in the book in his arsenal. What he lacks is the the killer instinct which is quelled with his cautious nature.

Floyd at 130, 135, maybe even 140, good offensive skills, at 147 and above, not so much. Partially to do with small, fragile hands, partially to do with not wanting to open up his defense enough to throw bombs, and partially to do with not gaining punching power as he went up in weight.

Look, if 50 million bucks wouldnt still let your hands go, nothing will.

well im sure he wanted to WIN the fight before he entertained. DLH was MUCH bigger and stronger then him. He had to fight conservative and shoot one punch at a time.

On the flip side, when he was getting paid MUCH MUCH MUCH less to fight guys like BURTON (augustus), Chavez, Ndou, etc, all guys his own size, he was fighting beautifully offensively creating a FOTY candidate and multiple Round OTY condenters in all of those fights.

So where were those punches when he fought a 20-loss journeyman and a cross-dressing businessman?

He displayed much of his offensive arsenal especially against Baldo, did you SEE the first half of hat fight before he hurt his hand? He was fighting alot more cautiously against DLH but if he turned on the heat we would have saw some sparks, like I said the killer instinct is quelled due to his cautious nature.

Nope watch these fights.

Chavez
Corley
Corrales
Castillo
G.Herandez
Augustus
Gatti
Mitchell
Judah
N'dou
Manfredy

Plenty of offense from Mayweather in these fights.

So you're saying the quality of Floyd's offense goes down as the amount of money he makes increases?

Maybe you ought to listen a bit too.
Floyd's offense is limited because of his limited punching power. He knows it and he works around it. That's just a fact. After leaving 135, Floyd has been vulnerable to skilled boxer-punchers and his career since the Castillo II fight has been tailored from this perspective. No need to go into controversial previously well discussed details. Just accept it as fact and move on. Some respect him even more for it. Some don't. It's an essential difference between the Mayweatherites and Floyd critics.

Yeah but does this mean he can only fight very well offensively against average fighters?

Baldo was a good offensive performance? You feking nuthugger!
