Floyd Mayweather's style at 140---Rate it

[pbftxrs316]

i really wish he would have stayed at 140 a little longer than he did. he fought demarcus corley, henry bruselles, and gatti. his fight with corley was action packed, and he won damn near every round, i thinj eveyr round even. he tko'd henry, and looked sensational doing it, dropping him with a body shot, and ending it in the 8th or 9th round. and his fight with gatti, i'm pretty sure he won every round to. haha. anyway, ho would you rate his fighting style there. not, who he fought and didn't fight, and should have fought. we all know cotto, hatton, kosta were the names on people's mind, well, maybe not so much cotto, but hatton and kosta were the names. judah was also a name on people's mind. i mean, imo, this was floyd in his absolute prime. because i watched the corley fight yesterday, and floyd looked spectacular in that fight, against a guy who will fight you, and not back off, and floyd threw fast cmbos and beautiful combos against him. that shoulder roll in round 4 when corley was on the ropes throwing 1-2's at floyd, and floyd dodging them and landing a vicious right overhand hook, showed his versatility. i mean, floyd has had problems with southpaws in the past, although he adjusted to them very well, and in this fight, he landed some crisp punches, great bodyshots like in round one, he threw a body shot that he has never thrown before in his pro career. floyd mayweather is very versatile and he showed it at this weight. he is known for his defense and potshotting, and counter right hands, but floyd needs to be known for his ability to throw fluent combos to the body/head and knowing exactly when to land them and land them all. this is why is was so ahead of his time. in round 8, when he threw that right hook, right uppercut, and left hook combo to corley's head, and in a slapping motion, yet, very effective way, was something that just grabbed me about his style at this weight. floyd truly was the p4p king before his victory over gatti. skillwise, he was on a level above everybody. i mean, i dont' even need to go into the gatti fight, as i have gone into detail about that fight for years.

so, again, i present this question to you guys and gals. how would you rate his fighting style at 140?

note, he had 2 of 3 tko's at thius weight also. and knocked corley down many times when judah won a split decision over chop chop.

His power at 140 increased alot...he was almsot damn near perfect in that weight. 147...was a huge difference...

I'd say a 10.

Okay from the top!

let's add some paragraphs in there next time.

[Derranged]

Good. He should have stayed there and fought Cotto at that weight. I think he could've stopped him at 140.

[Fox McCloud]

7, because he decided the defense was unnecessary at that weight altogether.

He went from boxer-puncher at 130, to slick boxer at 135, to technical brawler at 140.

The fact that chop chop had him hurt says something about the way he fought at that weight. Can you imagine if that was a Tszyu right hand that landed when Floyd was being wreckless?

[MANGLER]

He coulda done more at 140, too bad the Cotto and Hatton fights couldn't happen at that time. Corley was outclassed talent wise, but was game and the way PBF tore after him all nite was very impressive, even tho he failed to stop him. Bruseles means nothin. I knew he'd easily outbox Gatti, but the manner that he did was ill. That was one of those 1 sided ass whoopins that was still excitin to watch.

Bruseles was better than Gatti, ironically enough.

Hard to say considering he really didnt fight anybody. From the looks of it, 140 might of been his best weight.

[Benny Leonard]

He wouldn't have stayed because he had to keep moving up to get to O$car.

[deliveryman]

140 could've easily been Floyd's best weight. He was naturally so much stronger and so much more explosive at that weight.
