          i just dont understand why people who claim to be boxing fans trash any style they dont like, i dont like brawling but i respect it, i understand their are different styles to boxing and not everybody fights the same i appreciate all styles, one guy even went as far as saying when floyd ducks a punch its a biyyyatch move.... its just a ****** logic when a fighter is a biyyyatch for moving when the glove is coming his way or running when hes using the ring and a strategy to throw his opponent off

            Mayweather is an extremely cautious, defensive, counter-punch oriented fighter. He only goes on the offensive when his opponents get gun-shy, due to his counter-punches. However, he limits his attacks to avoid being countered himself. El Chino had the right approach in attacking often, while staying in Floyd's face. If he could sustain that style for the entire fight, he'd win. It takes tremendous conditioning to constantly cut off the ring and attack, though.

              Trust me when I say these people DO NOT WANT A REMATCH.

              His straight right is one of the best punches in all of boxing. Why not use it? Thats like complaining about Wlad or Cotto jabbing. Or Mannys str8 left.
              Yeah the one to two times he did it in the entire fight? Floyd looked like a lost and confused scared little girl for about 9 rounds of the 12

                Who's talking about brawling..?

                Was Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones Junior, even Mike Tyson & Evander Holyfield....brawlers..? No!

                They just weren't one dimensional offensively like Floyd Mayweather.

                Floyd Mayweather is not the first fighter in history to avoid a punch all those guys up above at great defense at the top of their game, aswell as a vast offense! Mayweather's offense does not match up to his defense!

                  Name a more versatile offensive fighter, you literally won't find any currently.

                    I am not sure why people can't be real with themselves, Mayweather is not a great offensive fighter and i think his offensive has decreased in effectiveness in his last few fights....

                    "I think he is one dimensional, does nothing outside of single shots, if you want to talk about power..? i think that is limited aswell. For a fighter that is so intelligent, you would think he would understand to put his punches together to stop guys like Maidana in there tracks! But the fact of the matter is he did not do this, because in my opinion he does not have the ability to do so"....

                    "Amir Khan is not a big puncher, and he put his punches together both head and to body creatively, and he hurt Maidana more times than Mayweather did, and he dropped him! Mayweather never once hurt him or stopped him in his tracks"....
                    Well his accuracy has to get him some type of props. The man outlanded a guy that through 800+ punches while throwing half as many. He fights off the ropes, center of the ring, or coming forward. That's not the definition of one dimensional.

                      I've seen some crazy thread titles in my time, every time I read this thread title, I am reminded that I am in NSB.

                      Talk about a cray cray statement.
