TRUE boxing fan test: WHY do you like Floyd Mayweather Jr?

[Adam_Laiolo]

floyds accuracy, counter punching, footwork, handspeed, ring generalship, work ethic, dominance from opening to closing bell and natural ability make him skill wise an ATG. if he had the balls or hunger in the mould of a hearns, or duran etc then we'd be talking of an ATG no doubt. but he just doesnt, he can sell a great fight, but he cant fight a good one

Please explain in detail. What is it that you like about Floyd Mayweather Jr? Why do you like him as a boxer? His personal life does not matter in this thread by the way...

he is a great boxing talent, probably the best pure boxer out there.

he is fast and great at counter punching

Floyd has dedicated a good portion of his life to boxing and it shows in most of his fights. The art of "hitting and not being hit" is remarkable. A lot of people call it "running" but that don't understand the subtle nuances of (defense) space, distance, timing, and scoring. Mayweather has a great understanding of all the finer details of boxing and he is very good at it.

His public boxing persona sells a lot of PPV and tickets, which makes him a savvy business man. He has adopted the bad boy image and parlayed it into a money making machine.

Hes a very skilled boxer and one of the best Ive ever seen. Being a Michigan man doesnt hurt either. hes an amazing talent.

because hes a master at what he does end of story. skills are flawless, his entire style is without flaw. pac on the other hand still dont know how to protect his left side by keeping his hand up when he throws the right. really sloppy. still reminds me of mayprga
