His body punching is top notch and is often over looked. He almost KO'd Mosley with a body shot in the 10th. He also did some really good body work on Ricky Hatton, Victor Ortiz, Zab Judah and Arturo Gatti just to name a few. Not to mention he absolutely destroyed Sharmba Mitchell with a body shot
The man can literally do everything, it's amazing.
Other things worthy of mention is his dedication to the craft. I can't think of any other athlete, once they've reached the pinnacle of their sport, remain so dedicated.
His focus. His fights follow scripts. That is sick in itself. To where the majority of people can tell you how a fight is going to go, before it even happens and be mostly true is amazing. Anyways, he zeroes in on his opponent's strength and takes that away from them by round 4. He stays within his abilities because he knows exactly what he is which is crazy because usually when in the ring with him, he does EVERYTHING better than you. Such a deflating feeling for his competitor.

LOL. That is so true. I remember watching the Canelo fight at a fight party and by the 3rd round, i told everyone it was pretty much over. The pace of the fight was not what was needed for Canelo to have a chance. You're not going to out think Mayweather in the ring. Funny thing is that Hatton actually did better than most as far as making Floyd uncomfortable in spots and that was mainly due to Hatton's underrated foot speed which allowed him to close the distance quicker than Mayweather could anticipate.
