y do the mayweather haters ignore that marquez wanted floyd

Yeah, I'm having trouble thinking of slick fighters as well.

Jones was pretty beaten up by the time Pacquiao got to 122. Freddie Norwood was shot to **** too.

Austin and Johnson fought in weight classes that Pacquiao skipped.

Was Ledwaba slick? I know nothing about him.

Austin, Johnson, Guzman and Casa come to mind.

What amazes with Floyd is how he thinks. His eyes are wide open studying every single move his opponent makes then he stores the **** and capitalizes on it later. A good example of that is the Hatton fight. When Floyd came forward, Hatton also came forward trying to grab, wrestle and punch. BUT It was prolly the first round when Floyd took two steps backwards Hatton followed him with his hands down and his head perfectly still.

He stored and worked on it. MID-FIGHT. So BOOM. Throws the check hook. Grazes him with it through out the fight. Then finally 10th round. He lands a perfect one. Most Floyd fans didnt even realize that he set Hatton up fpr that punch since the fight started.

That is do the the way he trains. His training is about about reptition, adapting and memorizing...which is why you constantly see him and Roger on the pads. Again people laugh but that is the key to Floyd's ring IQ.

I say this because I use to do the same thing when I played b-ball and Football. I would spend hours upon hours each day going through every possible reaction/move my opponent could make. That way when I actually got in the game everything seemed like it was in slow motion. It's hard to explain but I know what it's like for Floyd when he is in the ring boxing. He has every scenario plaid out in his head to where the fight is so slow and he can control everything.


Pacquaio also does this and is just as good if not better than May in this department. There are some punches where pac just throws, even without looking or out of positon, and still lands with picture perfect accurancy.

Not to d1ck ride pac but here are a few examples

In Marquez II he ducks under a Marquez left, throw his own straight left and lands perfectly on Marquez chin without looking

In his Cotto fight (the second KD) he lands a right steps to the side and throws a left uppercut (knowing Cotto will be coming forward and the right lands). What happens in Cotto walks right into the uppercut and does his infamous salsa dance.

Eh, I don't really believe that we can count Austin and Johnson.

I tell people to shut the **** up when they talk about Mosley ducking Kostya Tszyu too. It's just asinine in my opinion.

It would have been nuts. I haven't seen a ton of Tszyu, but he's a damn good boxer puncher.

I think Mosley's speed and chin would have worn Tszyu down throughout the fight for a Mosley victory.

But even so, Mosley jumped up to welter to fight P4P #1 Oscar De La Hoya. It's hard to complain about that.

Mayweather vs. Tszyu would have been tight. That is one fight that I believe had nothing to do with either fighter avoiding each other. I think it was HBO vs. Showtime, which is just really frustrating.

Mayweather had been calling his name since 130. I definitely think he was serious about wanting Kostya Tszyu.
