Floyd Mayweather Jr Lost a Step? Statistics Show Otherwise

[IronDanHamza]

You've got to be kidding me. Maidana was getting hit with pull counters all night long. What fight were you watching?

Here's another, and this from the 5th round. We aren't even talking about round 6 through 12.

Well I just said he didn't throw many, you said "Give me a moment" then came back and showed me 4 clips, none of which were pull counters.

There's another one from Round 5, there's probably a few more.

There's certainly not many.

I had other things to do, so of course I'm gonna say give me a moment. And you weren't specific as to the type of punches being landed. Like I said, Maidana was getting hit with pull counters all night long. He was a sucker for it the majority of the fight.

Poor example. Floyd was buckled by Corley and Judah in 2004 and 2006, in his prime. Very, very poor example.

It's happened two fights in a row, by a slow fighter. Versus to two times previously in his entire career, against much younger, quicker fighters.

You can crunch all the numbers you want, ask Mayweather how that broken nose feels.

Great example, real great example.

What does this prove? Lol. He's 37 years old there is no problem admitting he's lost a step or two. He can't be prime forever

Co-sign!!!

Thankfully some people get it!!!!!

Watch all his fights since the JMM fight since that is really the applicable version. What do your eyes tell you?


This is a qualitative argument not quantitative so what my eyes tell me from watching all those fights is way more important than any number because this is a question based purely on things you can't quantify.

If it were Floyd that got hit with that same uppercut and immediately stumbled afterwards, you guys would be saying Maidana buckled his knees.

doubt it, there are countless of times maidana actually lands punches on floyd similar to how floyd lands alot of his punches(skimming, rolled etc) that make barely any contact yet we all know those type of punches you wouldn't count on floyd, but against maidana, because he looks so awkward pulling his head back, you'd make it seem like a flush shot

another punch i can't even tell if it landed, angle jump didn't help

Understood but then you came back a few hours later and quoted that post with 4 clips, none of which were pull counters.

I was pretty specific, I said "Pull counter" I don't know how more specific I can be.

He did not land many after Round 3. If you're so adamant he did then show me them.

We have the one in the 5th. What others?

The stats only show that Maidana is easy to hit , something we already knew.


Mayweather hasn't "lost his legs" as a whole , he can still take a shot, although he looked much more vulnerable, scared to get hit almost.

He has slowed down, both in terms of pace and output. His reflexes are a notch slower than they used to be.

It's only normal, the man is almost 38 , fought as a pro for 18 years.
