    every fighter does body punching but there's just a few who use body punching as one of their main (not basic) strategy...those kind of fighters are considered body punchers. they win fights with body punching in a constant manner not just in 1 or 2 fights.
    Thank you. Floyd does good bodywork when he chooses to but his defense and adjusting is his bread and butter. I like how they point to 2-3 fights as examples. Guys like Cotto or JCC have 20+ fights that show their bodywork.

      i beg to differ. hes doesnt totally focus on the body like a castillo since he mixes it up. but his shots to the body are perfectly placed and do bad damage. hes an aritst in every regard. that includes body punching

        you bunch are extreme ****riders...you get emotional when presented with logical explanations.
        Keyword; underrated. I guess Margs is overrated using your logic, or are we being a bit literal?

        Are we, or did you just come to this thread to bash because you want attention?

If you don't think its underrated why go through the hassle of posting something anti-Mayweather in a Mayweather thread? Makes a lot of sense, right?
          So I like Pacquiao means I never liked Mayweather?!? Dude you ****ing commented on my post IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S and now your crying because you thought it was "Anti-Mayweather" when in reality, it was anti-crybaby.

          Have a good day, tell you what I'll make an "I love Mayweather so much" thread to make you happy.

            Clearly you didn't see my earlier posts where I stated Mayweather's body work is very effective which is why I find him underrated in that department considering the fact that he's been referenced to be the greatest defensive fighter. I still stand by my statement that he's not a body punching artist, in terms of that being his bread and butter.

              Pullcounter (known Pac rider): i don't get this underrating bull****... no one ever says he's a shi!tty body puncher.

              You (with the Pacquiao avatar): 'agree with pullcounter plus rhetoric'

              Just say you hate Mayweather.

                yeah nobody is saying that he can't be a good body puncher...he can if he chooses to but he's not. he's very good at what he do and it's more than enough to win fights so he probably doesn't feel the need to be a body puncher. but his fanboys want to portray him as something he is not. and if you go against their theory they become emotional like their lives are connected to floyd.

                  And I can tell you for a fact that nobody says, 'gee, that Mayweather is a great body puncher." If he's known for anything on the offensive end it's him being a counter-puncher. He's rarely acknowledged for his body work.

                      I'm still in awe at the fact you took the title and have bought in to Mayweather being a body puncher, yet I'm the one being too literal.
