Mayweathers great defense overshadows his above average offence

[gancho_al_igado]

Hes got all time great defense and people talk about him like if he aint a master on the offensive end as well. He might not be explosive as other fighters, but hes prob the most accurate puncher out there!

He knows how to pick his shots.

If he can do to Mosley what he did to JMM and Hatton..ill be surprised..He does have skills but he's never fought a elite Welterweight until May 1st.

The reason for that being is, anybody who has ever been in a gym or boxed before has seen at least two or three guys who can punch like a mule kicks. But no one has ever seen defense like Floyd Mayweather's. It's unnatural and uncommon as blue unicorns. Yeah I said blue unicorns, that's how unique his defense is. So when you see a guy who punches hard and you're a fighter it's not really that impressive because everybody knows someone who hits hard. But nobody has ever said I know a guy who can stand in front of you hit you in your face, and make you swing and miss and hit you again without moving his legs. You've never heard that ever. And before everybody gets their panties in a bunch about and start commenting about how Mike Tyson hit hard and everybody loved him so people do like guys that hard cause it's not common. That's a lie because Mike Tyson didn't punch guys hard. He destroyed them. And to prove my point Mike Tyson's offense ability to punch was so great it overshadowed his defensive ability to bob and weave and make opponents miss which in his prime was beautiful for a heavyweight. So in the same ways people have never seen anyone like Mike Tyson dismantle a man, is the same way they have never seen defense like Floyd Mayweather so they only tend to talk about what grabs their attention. And there is nothing wrong with that. Because Mike Tyson offense was great and Mayweather's defense is great.

actually hes a master at lead punching as well. his lead right is just as good as nyones...ask jmm. nyways wat hes not a master at is combo punching. i dont think he thinks it fits his style.

actually i think when when he puts his punches together it can be breathtaking at times, cause hes so fast and accurate, he used to do it much more.

I thought there was a stat that he is statistically the most accurate boxer in the history of compubox? In addition to being the best defensive boxer (in terms of not getting hit)?
