Why Mayweather's opponents go into Survival Mode..........

[jas]

A man's defense and speed culminates into a level of elusiveness you have never witnessed, combining counter-punching whilst boxing on the back foot early on in the fight with the steady progression towards standing in the pocket where quickness is utilised in the exchanges.

It's all the mind games. It has to be taxing mentally.

All the missed punches that get countered. Frustration kicks in. Those walls of self-belief etched into your mind begin to erode.

One second hes the smaller man the next hes walking you down.
Then when you finally catch him clean he smiles at you.

It all has to be so discouraging that you eventually lose belief.

Summary: When you punch him, you miss, and he hits you pretty hard in the face.

I felt like I was reading a love poem to Floyd.

JK, JAS. You cool.

Its not mind games.. Opponents are just more aware when facing him. They arent going to show the same pressure, punch output that they would against anyone else. Its more out of respect than fear because they understand his counter punching ability. Thats why everyone who thinks Pacquiao would just blitz through mayweather are day dreaming.. he would fight an even more cautious fight than he does against Marquez. The first person who beats mayweather is going to be a fighter who takes risks and gives as good as he takes.
