    Boxing with Mayweather

    They all fall in the same trap. When Maidana had Floyd against the ropes, he kept getting too close to throw punches.

    He should have created some distance to throw combos.

    Also, you need a stutter step to move and box with Floyd.

    Feints also help.

    Floyd is the greatest boxer out there but he is also the greatest cherry picker.

      Yes...but perhaps not for long. It appears that De La Hoya is going to fire Schaeffer from Golden Boy and make amends with Arum of Top Rank. As a result, Mayweather can either retire, or face some real fighters.

        If he was a cherry picker dont you think the MM fight would have been easier. He signed up to fight a bull...and won. A cherrypicker would have picked an easy fight.

            You know that maidana was a cherry pick for broner? This fight was no exception, he was tailor maid for floyd to look good and there is no denying that
