The excuse is people gas out when fighting Floyd, but why?

[Daylyt]

Why take away the reason Floyd makes them gas...

1-The well placed body shots

2-Making them miss shots and accurate counter shots

3-The movement and making them follow him


In Boxing you use more energy missing shots then landing them, and well placed body shots are like someone taking gas out of your car..So instead of saying oh so and so just needed more stamina, give Floyd his credit

Well Only one fighter he faced that lived a healthy lifestyle in stays in shape 24/7 and that was Ortiz but Mayweather suckered punch him so we never got to see the champion ship rounds.

Other then that everyone he fought had stamina issue.

Fighting Floyd will certainly wear you down for those things you mentioned. I remember after the Cotto fight, who is my favorite fighter, my buddy was telling me that he just gassed. I said, and this wasn't easy for me to say, that may be true, but let's look at this way. Cotto was stalking him around the ring, he was missing a lot of shots and was taking punishment in return. Missing shots is one of the biggest things. A lot of people tend to forget about that. Floyd greatly reduces your punch accuracy, and when you're missing that much it will wear you out. That's a credit to his defense. I'm not a fan of Floyd at all, but I'm not gonna act like he isn't great and fighters just happen to shit the bed when they fight him.

Floyd-Cotto was a damn good fight and underrated..they brought the best out of each other...let me make a thread on this

It's simple really..........

The answer to your question, is simple really. Floyd's opponents aren't that good.

So Floyd has fought and beaten more world champions than anyone in the History of Boxing, all of them wasnt in their prime or Floyd just beat them. They probably think like some of you all. I bet the one thing none of them prepare for is Floyd coming dead at them. Since he came back Floyd comes at his opponents alot more, do you think they prepare for Floyd coming foward? and he does it well. Do you think they prepare for that aspect of his game? Look at canelo, he was getting walked down, he's done it every fight, you guys says he runs, so thats what they prepare for when he's coming at you youre a fish outta water seeing something you didnt consider and with his boxing acumen youre in big trouble. Then when youre down youre trying to chase him around and keeps getting pot shotted you get even more tired trying to figure him out while getting hit upside the head and to the body. Floyd boxes intelligently, he comes at you which gets you uncomfortable then when you try to change up he's boxing you to death, youre down on points and now youre trying to box with him and the crowd is on your ass and now theres a clock counting down putting more pressure on you,as a straight right hits you dead in the face and the crowd lets you know, now he is actually clowning you by potshotting you and you know it and you know youre down on the cards, oh theres another right while youre thinking about and the crowd reaction and time is ticking down and you know he's up so you get desperate and try even more crazy crap and he's relaxed and hitting you. I tell you guys boxing at that level isnt as easy as you think, oh yeah your conditioning is suffering very badly. You've got serious problems with this guy still hitting to the body and head. Millions of people are watching you get beat up and youve got all this on your brain while you trying to figure all this out. Welcome to championship boxing

Actually youre saying Floyd is a better boxer than all his opponents and is that his fault? He trains harder he doesnt drink he has much knowledge due to his uncle and father's knowledge and he's gifted. Plain and simple. Hes good you take that as his opponents arent good without giving him credit for making them that way due to his work ethic.

he's not exactly fighting beasts now is he? lets see him do that vs margarito who comes forward relentlessly throwing nonstop punches. oh wait 7 mill to fight marg or 4 mill to fight sharmba? wat happen? lets see him do that vs pac who will unload punches on you if you give ground like mayweather always does. oh wait 6 years and counting...at least he beat young lions like ortiz and guerrero.
