game.set.match. hell of a comeback. as far as technical skillset, i really haven't seen any flaws. he has been hit and can get hit, he's not perfect in that sense, but than again, who the hell is? his hands are his biggest flaw, and i think God knew what he was doing when he made them that damn brittle. just imagine floyd mayweather jr, in all of his glory with his skillset heavy handed. i guarantee you, his ko ratio would be so much higher...his accuracy is still the bets in boxing, as far as his punch to punch ratio or something like that, where he hits his opponents compared to how much he gets hit. i've heards he still has the top spot out of any fighter in that ratio...i'm not surprise. hey, if you could show me how, or maybe oyu can do it, i want to put his fight with a guy named tony pep on here, the whole fight. we always see his fights with gatti or de la hoya or hatton or coralles or castillo on here. let's post some fights like him vs tony pep--justin jukko--. just watch his skillset in those fights alone...i mean, people on here really think they know floyd's overall skillset, and why he is so damn good in that ring, and they list the obvious like his shoulder roll, his ability to duck punches, and potshotting, and his speed, his ring generalship, and his countering affter slipping a punch. his lead right hands, his left hook. those are just the obvious. i have watched every mayweather fight from the beginning to the end, in slow motion, just to show myself, how skilled this ****ing kid is. they way he fights off of the ropes--check, his ability to counterpunch his opponent off of a block--check, the way he positions his body to slip a punch right after he blocked another punch--check, check, check. his ability to change your tempo while being defensive just to pot shot the **** out of you--checkmate. don't believe me, as if anybody would have the guts to admit thye don't believe me, seeing how i know this kid's style like the back of my hand....all of this i listed are showcased in his fights with---jukko, pep, hernandez, chavez, castillo, coralles, of course gatti(and let's not forget, floyd's ability to counter a combination also like he did gatti's 1-2 combo in round 2 with a blistering left hook, thus showing another trait of his, his timing, duh.) watch his fights with gerena, mitchell, judah, and n'dou, juat to name several...he's poise, his patience, his jab(to the body or from the feint), just shows me that he is without a shadow of a doubt the most skillful technician with fluidity i've ever seen--and yes, i've seen srr training videos, and fights, i have them on tape--roy jones, srl, terry norris, meldrick taylor, shane mosley, trinidad, de la hoya, pernell whitaker, willy pep, ali, holmes, tyson, judah, floyd patterson(my 4th best fighter all time), benitez, hagler, duran, hearns, calderone, cotto, margarito, williams, forrest, p4p any fighter--i have not seen a training package or a fight where a fighter has shown overall a precise skillset better than floyd mayweather jr, period. he is the master boxer...left hook to the body, right hand downstairs, right hook to the body against a southpaw like he did against corley.
if you watched floyd move up in weight like i did, examine and pay close attention to how his style metamorphisized. it really did. at 130, he threw power shots a lot and moved his upperbody more to slip punches and countered a lot off of the block and shoulder roll block like he did with jukko and gerena...135 he boxed more but kept his power to a certain degree like with castillo and n'dou. at 140, he put everything together with power and threw slapping shots at people like he did with gatti and corley. remember that slapping combination on corley in round 8 or his slapping left hook against gatti in round 1. i loved the way he slapped his shots, meaning he snapped his wrist when he threw them...and who could forget that lethal combo on gatti in round 6--i called that the slap heard round the world...
anyway, he is a very complex fighter...there is no perfect fighter imo, but he could be the closest thing to it, period....people call him boring and he runs a lot, and he supposedely potshots...i call them retarted ****s--you know why? because for a fighter who can moved up in weight and dominate the way he has and won the championships he's won against bigger fighters, yet, those bigger guys couldn't get the job done against a guy who throws sometimes, even sometimes more than sometimes more than half the punches they threw, yet landed more than 10-15 to 20 shots more than they do, just shows us how gifted he is in other areas. his style chganged at 147 and 154, yet his accuracy stayed in tact, and he started to limit his mobility and blocked more and used his wit a little more...he is a brilliant fighter, one we may never see again...greatest skillset i have ever seen, period....Comment

he struggled with castillo because of an injury, yet won the 1st fight and the rematch...he called de la hoya out in his prime, oscar stayed quiet..he called out shane in his prime. all of this is public---shane shut the hell up...he called out winky, trinidad, he would have beaten trinidad in his prime according to many critics and other fighters--how does that make you feel...he beat coralles and hatton in dominating fashion...many people say he would outbox the **** out of margarito(obvious), he would be too skillful for cotto, cotto opts not to call him out...judah didn't outbox ****--judah got dominated---floyd won 9 rounds to 3, and judah resorted to low blows---prime for prime--floyd still beats judah---floyd wasn't in his prime when he fought zab--how about that? floyd's prime was 130-140, 140 imo was him at his very best, and that's because i favored the style he had there...hatton turned him down...bob arum was afraid to put cotto in the ring with him, and for great reason---shane and oscar still ignored him, winky priced himself out...kosta lost to the guy floyd knocked out and was ducked by at 140....your point would be well taken if these circumstances never occured...you do the math....Comment
