Floyd Mayweather is an underrated body puncher.

[Doctor_Tenma]

It's because most of his body work is done during the clinches, and a lot of people tend not to notice. He's always been a great body puncher.

just re-watch the mayweather mosley fight, floyd taps shane to the body from the off.

i've never heard anyone say that wifebeater is a bad body puncher or that he can't punch to the body.

it's a stretch to say that wifebeater's body punching is underrated.

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.

Stellar post. I think that sums up Mayweather's "underrated" body punching in a nut shell. He never fights the same fight every time out. Some may require more body work then others.

When I think of Floyd's body shots. I think of the Gatti fight. Jesus Christ, any other JWW would of gone down. Much props to Gatti. Took a vicious beating in that fight.

That's where he landed most of those punches against Mosley. Very effective.

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.

what? what i mean with basic strategy is every fighter goes to the body at some point in the fight...i'm not saying it's their main weapon to win the fight. that's when you can categorized a fighter as a body puncher when he goes to the body as one of his main weapon. did you watch mares-darchinyan? yeah mares won that one because of his body punching.

i don't know why you even have to bring up mosley. obviously he did not go to the body a lot in that fight...and neighter was floyd.

I beg to differ just because the punching to the body Mayweather did use during that fight was effective. No, he's not a body punching artist, but it is underrated.

INDEED, you have the body shot in round ten, just a few seconds longer and you'll see Mosley's response.
