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

[Brandish]

no fighter today has a complete skill set like floyd.

[wmute]

I didn't say I was expecting a knock out because I wasn't.. what I meant to say is that everyone knew Hatton was gonna get his ass kicked.. most thought by wide U.D.

definitely not everyone, there were plenty of people picking Hatton.

But the point at hand was Mayweather's completeness as a fighter, in particular his offensive game, which was thoroughly diplayed on the inside in the Hatton fight.

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...

floyd is an amazing; talented fighter BUT he's not a complete fighter...at least not now...

his bread and butter is defense and working one punch at a time...

i believe floyd's only major flaw that keeps him from being a complete fighter is his ability to trade...he only seems to mount good offense against lesser competition (ie. hatton/gatti)...

against an oscar de la hoya he wasnt able to offensively take control...his defense was his best offense in that fight...

even though you said count out cotto and margarito it makes another valid point...

CAN floyd fight offensively against cotto and margarito? i dont believe so.

so i think (at least at this weight class for sure) he can't fight offense...he must rely on making fighters fight his fight; defensive; slow paced; one punch at a time; etc...

i think my opinion is fair and not biased in anyway.

One punch KO power??

I havent seen him really brawl with fighters. But he is very very good at what he does.

[ElGranLuchador]

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

[THE REED]

floyd is a complete fighter, other than the fact he wont fight anyone

Anyone who has polled in a NO to this thread, has absolutely no boxing knowledge whatsoever, you ppl should be demonstrating your lackluster knowledge of the sport of boxing on a KIDDY forum somewhere down the road, b/c you guys have absolutely no business voicing anywhere remotely close to this forum!!

I feel Floyd lacks power and the offensive arsenal that would make him a "complete" fighter.

[OTSS]

I say no even tho i'm a fan. He has alot of technical flaws that go unoticed because of his speed. He's at his most vulnerable when he's attacking where he usually keeps his head to high and seems to forget that the other guy can hit him. It pisses me off sometimes when he foght these bigger guys. Even tho they were bigger, with the skills the guy possesses, he could of easily stayed in the pocket and tore baldy and De la hoyas asses up. Go back and watch the de la hoya fight. When Floyd pressed forward oscar didnt know what to do. I think his power is underrated and so is his strengh thats why it irks me that he potshots sometimes.

P.S. Im watchin Hopkins vs. Echols II for the 50th time and the **** gets more dirty everytime I watch it.

I respectfully disagree. I feel he never sits down on anything most of the time. It seems like he only uses his power when he has someone his own size in front of him.
