Im not going to sit up here and act like Floyd brings it Offensively every fight or fights Offensive every fight because that hasnt been the case since moving to WW but I have always argued that I still thought he was the best Offensive fighter in the game. He had just turned so defensive minded but there were actually alot of people on this site and some writers trying to act like he doesnt have Offensive skills.
Like I remember when he was fighting JMM, there was a writer that said that if Floyd wins it will only be because of size because JMM is the more complete fighter since he has both Offense & Defense. Even alot of people on here tried to argue that JMM has more Offensive skill than Floyd. There aint no way. I still think he is the best Offensive fighter in the game along with being the best on D.
He's the only guy in boxing that has no flaws in terms of he can throw every single punch in the book. He has a stiff jab, he can throw the straight right, a chopping right, left hook, go to the body, jab to the body, leaping left hook, check hook, uppercut as we saw in the Chavez fight, and a right cross. He can fight like a tall rangy guy but he can still deliver a very stiff blow from short range while alot of guys need room to punch. His technique is spot on, underrated power e****ally when he commits, killer speed, can counter, great reflexes, is relaxed, and is the most accurate in the game.
How can people on here and some writers act like he isnt skillful offensively. You can say that he doesnt use it all the time but when he does, he's by far the most complete Offensive guy in the game. The only guy you may can argue is Pac. 2 years ago this was even no question but I will give Pac his props as he has become very complete Offensively. Still, he gets offbalance alot and can be very sloppy at times which Floyd never is. I still dont see him jab to the body and be able to do certain things Floyd does. He has the weird angles but some of that is just him being a Southpaw.
Either way though, even if you dont think he is the best, he is definitely one of thee best so I hope people stop saying that he's not. Again, he may not use it every fight but some people act like he dont even have it or cant go toe to toe and stuff. Thats another thing I forgot to add. He's great in the pocket, can box & move, or fight on the inside. Alot of guys cant do them both well. He can when he wants to and you see now that him being toe to toe doesnt mean he will look inferior or be KO. As Ive said before, toe to toe isnt all about power like alot on here seem to think.
He's very skillful on the inside but still has underrated power & strength. He has the skill to beat bigger, stronger, or harder punchers in the pocket
