wha do you mean cmon its gatti??dude was a world champion..jesus christ...look at his body work in the judah and hatton fight..hes a very good body puncher when he goes down stairs,,he stop mitchell with a body shot...his jab to the body is beautiful

Well said.

A lot of those body shots landed by Mosley weren't effective and were actually placed in order to set up a larger shot upstairs. Don't get me wrong, Mosley's can do work to the body but he really didn't focus on the body against Mayweather.

Yea i know

Mosley's shots were weak and inaccurate but he still went way more to the body then Floyd

[brick wall]

how can you consider him as underrated? he's not even known as a body puncher. sure he goes to the body at times but that's a basic strategy for any fighter.

That's great, but taking the air out of the tires is more effective than a shoeshine. I understand your point countering the TS, but the initial subject of the thread was Mayweather is an underrated body puncher. So if you're called a hater, it's because your initial post comes off as just that.

So how come Mosley didn't use it?

He actually had great body work in that fight, although like you said, it wasn't from round one to twelve, the times he did go to the body and land were actually at key junctures, i.e. round 2.

Floyd is a good body puncher when he wants to be. The Judah fight is a prime example, he ripped the **** out of Judahs body, some of them devastating.

But he just don't really use it, i guess he feels like he doesnt need to. And using the Shane fight was a bad example, he did very little body work however when he did decide to throw to the body it was good.

You also read that Russian deemed them "weak and inaccurate", agreeing with my statement. I'm asking you, if that's basic strategy for any fighter, why didn't Mosley do it? If he did, Mayweather would've slowed down and got tagged more, right? You watched Hopkins-Pascal.
