Floyd's offence is underrated

[Deeznuts]

Some ppl make it sound like his offence is obselete. Truth is Floyd has the most accurate offence in modern boxing.


Floyd doesnt have the highest output but is the most accurate with great timing and counter punching. Floyd should have his props cuz in a way you can say he has the best offence in boxing cuz of his % and how much more he lands than his opponent

Floyd is a btch but your spelling is overrated

[Real King Kong]

yes, but does'nt mean it aint good! they overrate his accuracy esp ... his power in the lower weights is overrated as hell too, most of his tkoe's were corner stoppages!....

why would you pick the one thing that can actually be proven? his punch stats speak for themselves.

Dont know what you guys are talking about, but someone that can throw every type of punch, can go to the body, can fight going forward or backwards, can fight at close range, can fight in the pocket, can counter, can box, etc... Name it and Floyd can do it, or does it. Thats what I call a great offense. Unlike most boxers that you can force to fight a certain way to beat them, you cant really pull that with Floyd cause his offensive and defensive arsenal is so vast, and adjustable its hard to beat him.

floyd does'nt have the power , the combinations , the killer instinct that makes a great offense, im not sayin his is bad but it aint all that like *****s make it out to be...

thats a result of a low punch output more than anthying......

but

1. no one is making him into a power puncher. In fact, considering he is admittedly a brittle handed fighter that facet that he has any stoppages of note should lauded not questioned

2. and yes it is good because it shows that while he is selective when he does launch he is successful

There's more to offence than blitzing the enemy with overwhelming force. It's like some people still have the mindset of barbarians wielding clubs.

it's very good when he has a statue like gatti or mosley in front of him. unfortunately when he meets someone who can move and punch it dwindles to a trickle because he's too worried about getting out of the way and avoiding punches to throw.

No it doesn't. In Zab Judah he fought someone who can move and box. His offence looked crisp as ever. If you're to look at his career his offence usually dwindles when the offence is flat footed because he can pot shot for 12 rounds ( Baldomir).

Either you've only seen a couple of Mayweather fights or you were itching to pitch in a negative comment.

Yea, I always liked Floyd offense because of his versatility. Every one knows about his outside abilities but he almost never gets credit for his inside work except when his forearm move is brought up, which is breaking the rules but is very effective.

To me that plays a large part in his defense to because he can always force a fight the way he wants.

It is just always impressive to me when I think about how he does things and reminds why I think of him as highly as I do.
