    He has a great work ethic on top of his talent, that's why he's #1.

      He couldn't have gotten too many boxers to replicate Foreman's style than Holt.

      Holt is pretty tall, can give nonstop lateral movement, and is one of the quickest counterpunchers in boxing. Foreman has all that and is the bigger, stronger, whiter version.

      On topic: Boxers take too much time off and let themselves blow up, if they did what they were supposed to and stayed in the gym, they wouldn't be starving themselves to make weight. In the ring and in the gym, Mayweather is currently the example to what all boxers should strive to be.

          Actually Mayweather was caught by the 1st right hand because Mosley set it up beautifully with his strong jabs to the body starting from the very beginning of the 1st round. It's ironic because it's a strategy that Mayweather uses himself. If you recall, he just barely missed landing the exact same punch earlier in the fight during the sequence where he lossed his balance and fell to the ground. Mosley's second right hand was a result of perfect timing. He perfectly timed Mayweather's left hook and came over the top with an overhand right to the ear-temple area.

          The amazing part in all of this to me is how quickly Mayweather recovered from being hurt(twice) and then was able to make the necessary adjustments. Mosley continued to try and jab to the body in effort to set up the right hand, but after the 2 right hands in the 2nd round Mayweather adjusted and just clocked him with counter straight right hands and left hooks for the rest of the fight. Some people are saying that Mosley was gassed or that he got old overnight, and that's BS. Sure he was breathing hard, but he wasn't sleepwalking out there. He was trying his butt off, he just couldn't do anything. Nothining he tried worked after the 2nd round. That takes on you mentally and emotionally, and that obviously can effect how you look physically. Once he failed to finish Mayweather off in the 2nd round, I believe that Mosley himself knew that the fight was basically over.
          You and I have the same set of eyes.

            No just that *****s say that Pac's har training is due to PED's and that PED's are used to train harder.

            (i do not believe Floyd is on anything btw, just exposing double standards by *****s)

                He likes to spar 10-15 min rounds with a different fighter after every round.

                  I always said Floyd trains the hardest.
