    What Floyd lacks in offence, he makes up for with defence

      lol'd @ the other posts

      But for a serious answer, I'd say:

      A safe, defensive, pot-shotting style.

        Floyd's style IMO is he is extremely defensive minded who shows signs of a quick offense when safe. He maintains a certain range/distance either by footwork or any means necessary (elbows, punches). Punch output not so much.

            Master of the fundamentals.

            By that I mean:
            Distance gauging
            Can catch punches(the jab mainly)
            Uses feints
            Superb foot movement, rarely do his feet become side-to-side or crossed up
            Transitions from offense to defense are smooth.
            Knows how to give the opponent a smaller target by not squaring up
            One of the best jabs in the game, talk about variety in a punch

                anyone who says he doesn't have an offense is crazy....when he throws combinations it looks great, he has a 57% ko ratio(offensive juggernut pac is at 61%), and his punch accuracy is higher than anyone in the sport. this claim that he has no offense is without any merit whatsoever.
