    accurate combinations >>>>>accruarte potshots
    When you throw combinations your accuracy diminishes along with your timing.

    Putting that aside I don't think people realise how mentally tiring it is fighting someone who picks their punches. That or they can't distinguish between a fighter who is gunshy and a fighter who potshots.

        i saw little marquez clock him flush with right hands when he tried that check hook and marquez is a counter puncher lol. floyd's offense is more flash than substance.

          pac did look pretty tired fighting clottey lol. maybe he picked his punches a little too carefully. would floyd have more guts than him? doubtful.

            could you be clear what you mean when you say technic...coz im sure every pro boxer has learned how to throw a punch......accuracy is one of the main ingrdients of a great offese but not on itself!

                Floyd is much better at getting his while on the defensive than Clottey is.

                In fact I don't even believe you compared them in that regard.

                  technic/style... I already posted it in my first post in this thread. Just about anything you can name, Floyd can do it at at a elite/above avg level. Like you said all these things are taught but most are not able to execute it in a fight.

                    JMM is one of the best technicians in the sport so of course he is going to hit Floyd a bit.

                    It speaks volumes that Floyd was able to disarm such a wonderful offensive fighter to such a degree, and JMM came to win make no mistake about that.
