His physical dimensions help him a lot believe it not. Mayweather has an exceptional reach which allows him to operate from further out, therefore even when pulling back away from punches, he can still keep himself out of arms way, it also helps him counter punch more effectively, as he doesn't have to get as close to the opponent, and so can disengage them easier. Mayweather's other greatest asset, is his legs.In my eyes what makes him great is the fact he is his own trainer, he dont watch no tapes of his opponent, he does not study them... he just turns up to camp gets himself in condition does his sparring and gets ready for fight night.
During the fights he makes his own adjustments he unbelievably smart in the ring. His uncle is just there to put a cold towel on his head, hold the pads and chat **** basically.
Most other fighters need a good coach, a good conditioner etc etc mayweather just needs himself.
You give Floyd a shorter reach, cut his legs off, and he's a more stationary target, and his long range game isn't as effective.
See, that's what makes Mayweather, Mayweather, and Whitaker, Whitaker, Mayweather has a better long range game than Pea, as he's longer and taller, where as Pea was probably a better mid range, inside fighter, cause of the lack of reach.
If Mayweather didn't have his ability to use his legs, there is a good chance he would of lost to Castillo, that is why I always say, two of Mayweather's greatest assets, are his legs and long range game.Comment

He paid his dues for 10 years and remained undefeated. He's looking out for himself and banking the big checks now.Comment

Floyd described it himself:
"It looks so easy when you watch from outside the ring".
And it's true. There really is no fight where you watch Floyd and you think he is this *amazing* guy. Then you get in there with him, and you can't hit him, and you're getting your face busted up.Comment

Hes great in that in that he put in good performances to get himself known. But once he got there he didnt do anything to stay there and justify his reputation for being the best. He didnt put in the performances that people thought he should put in, and was just happy to plod and coast along.Comment
