Why doesn't Floyd use his JAB more often?

[Jairus-Z]

also when floyd does jab, he likes to jab to the body which is safer for him.

floyd does make fights harder than they have to be..he couldve dominated oscar and end hatton earlier..if he just snapped the jab more..but i think floyd does these things on purpose to set up rematches

He isnt setting anything up. Floyd tries to fight in a certain comfort zone, and if he has control of a fight he isnt in any hurry to impress anybody, he is just trying to win.

like some folks mentioned before floyd likes to jab to the body instead of to the head that's how he got countered in the judah fight,but yeah floyd jabs just not to the head.

runs, leaping left hook, lunging straight right, waits for opponent to get tired.

I think Floyd needs to bring back his jab and continue to use it more often than he has in the past. But, I'm not a pro boxer so it's easy for me to say it. I just thought the "JAB" was the weapon to have as number 1 (like Roger said) and if you have Floyd's reach, why not use it as your main weapon?

Has Floyd watched to many Roy Jones Jr. fights?
Imagine if Roy concentrated on perfecting his JAB and used it more often.

I personally don't get. Anybody that actually boxes know why you would avoid using the jab?



In this video he explains why he doesnt use the jab...and its a brilliant reason.


Anybody have interview connections to ask Floyd this?

He doesn't need to, he catches guys with lead rights and hooks because his rhythm is so unorthodox. It just makes it even more difficult to adjust to him since he goes against some of the most ingrained conventions.

he said himself he never gets into a rhythm. something i notice hopkins does as well. only the well schooled seem to use this tactic period.

[Jim Jeffries]

He uses it when he needs to, he just barely ever needs to.
