Fighters stealing Mayweather's Style?

[DLT]

Is it me or does it seem like more and more guys are trying to fight like Floyd? All of asudden Im seeing alot of guys use that stance and defense. Im not going to just say Floyd because Sr. taught him and he teaches some others to do it but damn. Since when did Vargas try to fight like that?

Yeah i saw that.Esp that defensive manuever where you stick out your elbow.

Yeah, I saw Erik Morales do that Floyd elbow thing for a bit whilst he was on the ropes against Pacquiao.

ive seen many fighters do that against David Tua, I saw Rahman use it vs Lewis in their 2nd fight, I saw Lewis use it Vs Rahman in their 1st fight, ah who cares, Floyd reinvented boxing and invented a jabbing monkey hit while reading a book and drinking a bottle of apple cider.

I've been noticing that, Delahoya (floyd's father of course), and Vargas...but the way pretty boy uses it, its with natural talent...but anyways, I was watching a footage of Mayweather training and he was working the heavy bag and he jabbed to the body of it (commentating his own punches)..and then he says something like "u know the move I made patent, fighters wanna steal, the stiff jab to the body..even shane tryina steal it n I'd use it against him"... when I heard that i thought to myself..hasn't the jab to the body been around waaay b4 him??

You can steal any move from Mayweather you want but you can't steal the speed that really makes it effective.

Vargas' and DLH's versions are cheap imitations. When Vargas fights DLH lets see how long that new defense lasts.

Vargas is a natural hot head who will lose his cool against DLH once hes getting his ass beaten. AND will not box like he boxed last night.

Castillo has been using that jab to the body even before Mayweather turned pro.Ofcourse it looks different but it is the same thing.

i imagine other fighters have used that style before floyd but floyd perfected it...vargas and DLH are just imitating it

[hectari]

ya floyd never invented that style that style is old school, it goes to show you old school fighting can competing with new school. Alot of olden days figthers used that shoulder roll.
