Its amazing how Floyd reduces the workrates of fighters

That or smothering punches by going forward. It makes it hard to throw combos because you have to be able to punch going backwards. That is why someone with a good jab will do well against Floyd. Floyd knows to use clinching in a fight. Against Mosley he would push the head down so Mosley could not throw body shots. You have to be able to dance with Floyd if you wanna beat him. When Floyd smothers an opponent he tags em backing up trying to create space too. This is what worries me when he fightis Pac. This why I give Floyd a slight edge.

Floyd puts in very sneaky bodywork to take the gas out of opponents.

Check it out. Around 7:30, Judah lands his Sunday punch. Now watch the rest of the rounds as Floyd digs to that body. He did the same thing to Shane.

In fact, check out what Big L says after that round is over.

Mayweather doesnt have a pssy style. he just cherry picks.a lot. especially for someone who claims to be GOAT..thats all. the kid can fight ..very smart boxer..

Same goes for your "catch-weight king"....I still say Floyd's resume is better than Manny's by a big gap.

yeah that is amazing. I was amazed at how he did it with Mosley. Mosley was completely lost, and didn't know where he was, as well as what to do. What I love about Floyd is that has everything calculated, and knows exactly what to throw when you throw a punch. His boxing skills are amazing, and they leave me in awe. I want to see his skills on display against Pacquaio, but he needs to stop ducking Pacquiao, and get the fight made, so that he can woop pac's ass

[Kilrain]

he does not like to engage. period. i still believe that he is the most skilled counter puncher in boxing history. you need to be aware of the modern day boxing expectations. read my thread chicken moves 101.

James Toney is another alltime great counter puncher. That shoulder roll then coming back with the straight right is a thing of beauty

Shane was gassed out

and Marquez was a ballooned up lightweight fighter..

Let me know when Floyd fights Pacman, Margarito, or maybe even a Cotto then I would call Floyd a dominate Welterweight..

[Cash Cow]

So Judah and Baldomir are better than Cotto and Margarito?

Cotto has NEVER beat a Champion and Margo is a cheat... facts dont lie

[HandSpeed303]

And another thing Roach has stated in an interview that Shane came down to the camp twice and begged him to fight pac and he said that shane was too good. Roach did not want pac to fight shane. Case close their you have it. God this **** is gettin old.

You know what, I have never (until now) made a comment on the whole Shane called out Manny thing...Why? Cause even with Roach saying that, it does not mean that Shane would beat Manny...

It just doesn't. I never really understood why folks try and use this as some sort of shield.

So Manny didn't fight Shane...So what! To some folks, that is a "W" for Shane, and a "L" for Manny.

It's hard to explain. I respect the way Floyd fought Shane. I lost a 500 bet to my son. i didn't think that floyd would rock back shane's jab and throw the right counter. i lost another 100 when floyd threw the lead jab to the body and followed with a straight right. i cant undersrand how shane didnt step back from that. to me that was seriously the ultimate sign that he was tired.

in boxing, you need space to throw. but may will never be in this "space." shane couldnt engage because floyd was never in his reach. floyd comes with 1 punch then closes gap. it looked like he was a dragon breathing fire to most, but this was seriously pusssy ****. 1 punch, close in. then again and again.

"You gotta know your distance" - FMJ

Master at controlling the distance.......pull countering over a taller and longer oppoennt = skill + control.

[check hook]

Im just saying why peoples punch output dont seem to be high against PBF. And the reason being that PBF is never within punching distance. When SSM fought Margarito, Margarito was right in front of him like a punch bag. So of course SSMs punch rate would be higher against a punch bag.

Floyd stood right in front of Shane, he barely moved his feet at all....there is a reason he was able to do it and Margarito wasn't......Floyd vs Shane was a repeat of Floyd vs Judah.....Mayweather was stalking Mosley like a panther it's prey.....
