..Who's Better: MAYWEATHER Or WHITAKER?...

[Mr. Philadel]

Starting slow...


Its takes him a second to master his opponent then he domintes them..

Thats the REALEST and BEST way to define Floyd in the ring! good post!!

He didn't stop the jab when Floyd turned it on, it was BEFORE that. He just stopped. Perhaps due to stamina issues, which he's known to have.

The jab will beat Floyd. MARK MY WORDS. A hard jab takes it's toll on your body, and Oscar got tired. A fresher Oscar, younger Oscar would have made that fight EVEN CLOSER.

Jab, and you beat Mayweather. When you double that jab up, switch it with the double-jab and feint, like Oscar WAS doing, but keep it up, you offset histiming. You beat him.

For years the haters would say "pressure is the way to beat Mayweather,jose Luis Castillo "Showed" us this"

Despite the fact That Mayweather was fighting with a hurt shoulder and beat him easily in the rematch.And went on to destroy Ndoh,Corly,Baldomir,Hatton,Bruseles and other Pressure fighters.


Now its: "the Jab is the way to beat Mayweather"

Gatti, Ndou,bruseeles,Genaro Hernandez all threw jabs and look what happened to them.

It took him ROUNDS to figure out/wait out Judah and it took him 6 rounds to figure out.wait out De La Hoya.

How is that that REALEST way to define Mayweather?

NONE of them throws the kind of jab I was implying. And for the record, I never said pressure was the TRUE way to beat Mayweather, so don't lump me in.

I'm talking about a hard stiff jab, that sets up other punches, with feints involved. Lateral movement, and the ability to set the pace and offset the opponents timing. Throw in double and triple jab.

NONE of those fighters do that. Oscar did it in the first half of the fight and it worked VERY WELL. It doesn't need to land every time, to be working.

ALSO, I'm not a Mayweather hater. I'm just not delusional. Everyone has a weakness, everyone can lose, everyone. EVERYONE.

considering dlh won 2 out of the first 6 rounds

I noticed that a few people are saying that Mayweather has every advantage over Whitaker, which is certainly wrong. Whitaker has better inside game, has better footspeed, is the better out boxer ,is the faster starter and has slightly better adaptability than Mayweather. One advantage for Mayweather that i do like is his advantage in power which makes him more exciting to watch. You can never go wrong with a knockout but i personally enjoy seeing technical matches just as much.

I diasagree,They handspeeed was about a tie but i thought Mayweather had better footspeed

mayweather was the more complete fighter and he fought 5 top 10 p4p fighters. not alot of boxers could say that.

[flodistheshizle]

Losing, arguably, the first four rounds to Zab Judah isn't starting slow? Losing 3 to 4 rounds out of the first 6 with De La Hoya isn't starting slow?

You can like Mayweather. But don't deny film.


Keep in mind, I said recently.

Thats adpating slow to a slick fast southpaw,not starting slow.

Oh, I'm sorry. Were you an official judge for that fight?

Check the scorecard. Out of the first FOUR rounds, with two judges giving him the SAME THREE ROUNDS, he won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds.

So, the scorecard you wrote on your handy-dandy notebook, kind of doesn't matter.

Would that not be a flaw, regardless. Furthermore, why do people keep focusing on THIS flaw. It's not the only one I mentioned and it's not the one I think is the biggest problem for him.
