The Myth Of Floyd Mayweathers Defense..

[Welter_Skelter]

Seriously... The guy is good.. He is difficult to hit, never mind hit cleanly..


But is it all smoke and Mirrors??

What I am asking is.. Guys with a Bit of speed have been able to Tag Floyd.. Corley, Judah, Augustus (Burton)..

Where as His Supreme defensive efforts were against Guys Like .. Old Gatti, Baldomir (slower than a Tortoise) , Hatton.. Compared to Floyd, Slow and One dimensional..

In the Lower weights Floyd Fought much more offensively and aggressively.. so while his defence was on display.. His Offence was his REAL talent.. Even Guys Like Castillo could out punch him.. He won back then with offence..

Floyd is a Smart Fighter.. and Guys Like Hatton,Gatti and Baldomir never had a chance..

I guess what I am saying.. is that Mayweather IMO, Is overrated defensively based on 3 or 4 Fights against very speed challenged fighters..

His true Gift is his Offence .. and this proves he is a Bit chicken, for not being a more aggressive fighter and taking fights where he would need all his offensive arsenal to win..

His, is a very well managed.. but disappointing career

Discuss..

i'm glad to hear this coming from a respectable poster

maybe people will pay attention and discuss maturely

IMO, Floyd is a great fighter but is severely overrated (keep in mind, "overrated" doesnt mean he sucks)

wuuuuuuu sahhhhhhhhh

I think his defense is overrated as well, People talk like he never gets hit but he actually does and he has shown that he could take a punch.

He just doesnt get hit alot in his fight, I think he had a great career and most people judge him badly because they dont like him which to me is irrelevent.

Pretty obvious that his defense wouldn't be as great when facing southpaws...funny because the few southpaws he faced...he beat the **** out of. He still couldn't be hit in the lower weights though
