    Mayweather's offense is severely underrated

    He has a very high connect percentage in comparison to the rest of the division. For those that complain he doesn't throw enough punches per round what is the point of throwing and missing? Mayweather is precise and the master of picking his shots. He throws on average 21 punches less than the avg welterweight but shots connected are only 3 less than the avg welterweight. This is how he conserves energy. His defense is so good people forget how good is offense is. It's clear Floyd's mastered the art of defense and offense.



    He keeps winning, you keep hating. It's a great formula for PPV buys.

    He's the most accurate boxer in compubox history. I never underrate his offense, when he throws, he lands.

        this is complete utter bull****. If he was throwing more he would be landing more if he is so accurate. Also throwing punches weather you hit or not does a lot to upset your opponents offense. as far as his great formula. lol who ever thinks being hated is a good formula is ignorant. yes people want to see he villain lose but what people dont think is after that does happen...Its over. Who wants to see that twice. Also fans get bored with boring fighters not fighting good opponents. great formula is fighting the best beating the best if possible and being greatly entertaining.

            I think he was outlanded by ODLH and JLC (first fight) if I remember right but I could be wrong.


            I agree is offense is overshadowed by his defense but he just doesn't unload like he used to.

                What worries me about Mosley is he isn't hard to hit. He's got an iron chin so walks through a lot of shots to land his own - something he just won't be able to do against Mayweather.

                What Mosley has going for him is that Mayweather does not possess a knockout punch. He struggled to hurt a rather tame Marquez in a 12 round sparring session. If he can't make Mosley wince with his punches, then Sugar Shane will rough him up and the fight will be very interesting.

                    That works against the people he fights lately, 20 punches a round won't work against Mosley who can actually keep up with Mosley and throw.
