Why doesnt Floyd Mayweather go to the Body?

[infamous larryx]

check the uppercut to the body out in my sig..and to answer you..its a risk to go to the body against a big puncher because its more likely you'll get countered when going to the body....remember the khan -prescott fight??

[S.G.]

Going to the body can leave you open to return fire up top. He does go to body usually, but it was minimal against Shane. I guess he felt he didn't need it.

[M.I.C.]

Shane was head hunting with the overhand right, Floyd had to keep his hands up

Yea thats what i was thinking too, it leaves you open.....i was just shocked at the 191:17 ratio

Also he went to the body a lot against Hatton and De La Hoya, it all depends on the opponent. I dont think he'll go to the body much vs Pac.

[El Protagonista]

He has an excellent jab to the body.

But the answer is, if you're having great success landing to the head, there isn't any need to go to the body.

Great answer. To the T.

Now thats true, Shane was looking for a point to unload on Floyd but Floyd didnt creat any opening and Shane just couldnt adjust

Why doesnt Floyd go to the body almost at all? In the Mosley fight Mayweather landed 191 punches to the head but only 17 to the body.

so why does he go pretty much only to the head?

I think your right there were times in the fight I thought Floyd should have worked downstairs. Guys like Shane are not going to get KO'd by one punch. He should have tore up Shanes body in the middle rounds once he was dominating and then tapped his chin.

But hey a win is a win.

He used to have an insane straight left to the body. Doesn't use it as much at WW as LW. He had way better movement, speed and confidence at that weight.
