Mayweather's offense is severely underrated

[mikeyh1015]

when has he prooved he has an offense?

Hatton, Marquez, Gatti, Corrales, etc... I can keep going baby!!!! with the exception of maybe the Baldomir fight he has actually been very entertaining. Hatton, Marquez, Judah, Gatti, Corales, De La Hoya, etc... you were tuned in 100% and you know it. Mayweather is the most entertaining fighter/charecter in boxing today hands down! FYI PAC/clottey = no 24/7. Mayweather/mosley= 24/7 all day.

Forget the amount he throws just the fact that he can offensively fight anyway so well, on the outside, inside, In the pocket, going forward, going backwards, etc.... and can throw every type of punch with either hand. And not look sloppy, unbalanced, or lost doing any of it.

Agreed, his footwork is second to none.

[FeFist]

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.

It's more detrimental to your rhythm getting hit off balance or when you're in motion of trying to punch.

If someone is swinging and swinging, once you get their rhythm sorted out you can time them. Morales vs Pacquiao 1 is a good example of this.

Two points:

I think the problem is that people would like to see him apply his offense on someone who is on his or close to his level, he wouldn't be able to produce those numbers in a competitive fight and thats always been the problem in his career.

The fact that his defense is so incredible people are always gonna pay more attention to it, same with pernell whitaker. Floyd's offense is clearly A grade but ray leonard, he is not, a fighter he is often compared to

[Don Mac]

seriously, so what about the stats, he is ducking, retiring, accusing etc just to avoid the top guys. stats don't mean **** if you fight **** fighters

ding ding ding!!!

On the otherhand, I really feel Mayweather's offense is severely OVERRATED.

How so when it's barely mentioned?

[FLY TY]

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.

lolz..... we'll see.

Didn't know that. Interesting



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.

except Jose Luis Castillo in there first fight


JLC landed a higher percentage of shots also

out of 40 fights, you can only find 1, where he was outlanded?


there's no doubt, floyd relies more heavily on his defense, than most other fighters, but to say his offensive game is weak, or lacking, when he's outlanded his opponents in 39 of 40 fights, is crazy.

I was agreeing. I think his numbers are impressive but I don't think he pulls the trigger like he used to before 147. I do think his offense in underrated however.
