ok !! Shawn you argumentative bastard... IS FLOYD A COMPLETE FIGHTER EVERYONE?

[OTSS]

no he cant pressure a fighter and will never be able too
even when he koed hatton
ricky pretty much koed himself ramming himself into the turnbuckle

He walked down Zab the WHOLE fight.

!! Shawn thinks because hes a sole counter puncher.. he doesnt use his jab effectively, and he doesnt pressure you.. that hes not a complete fighter...




chime in !! shawn we all know your watching...

I think thats a falsehood because Floyd can lead when he needs to (yet another trait that makes him a complete fighter). If someone is trying to wait him out he will take the initiative and engage the battle as evidenced in the mid rounds of the DLH fight.

IMO the reason he counters so much is that it makes the fight easier for him because 1. he can see the punches coming and know where the openings are rather than guess when he leads and 2. he is a smart fighter who tends to pick up patterns during the fight as evidenced by the picture perfect checkhook he landed on Hatton

if Floyd isn't complete then no one is.

Is he a complete fighter?

forget the cotto ****, the margo ****.... forget the ducking the dancing the wrestling



INSIDE THE RING... when hes in the ring.... is floyd a complete fighter

And if you dont like Floyd, thats fine... but dont let that effect your judgement on this poll...

Ring generalship - At times he'll sit on the ropes, but he always knows where he is and where he'll end up. (A-)
Stamina - Stamina has never been an issue. (A)
Power - He was never a big puncher, but has more po than given credit for. Punch accuracy and accumulation is what usually gets his guy out of there though. (B)
Speed - May not be the fastest guy overall, but he's right up there with the best. (A+)
Offense - Doesn't throw as many punches as he use to, but his accuracy and pin point precision are unmatched. (A-)
Defense - Forget about it! Nobody has done it better since Pernell Whitaker. He is head and shoulders above anybody in this dept (A+)
Durability - Has had hand problems in the past and doesn't/didn't fight to often. But this can be said of many fighters. (B)

I highly doubt there is a MORE complete fighter in the sport today.

[MELLY-MEL...]

most certainly is, but i must say sometimes he is to defensive minded in the last few years of his career. earlier on he was a joy to watch.
