Without a doubt. I've seen youtube videos of Hagler throwing the left hand. WAAAAAY before Pacquiao ever did it.

The pull counter is a basic move. Its boxing 101. Floyd does it so well because of his reactions, timing and great handspeed.

The pull counter has existed since the dawn of time

Thank you!!!!

What's next? A video showing that Wlad "copied" the jab from Holmes?

Anything at all to discredit a fighter. My god.

Yeah, its really a silly trend

Some of these guys try too hard to discover something ... and only end up discovering and exposing how little they know about boxing.

As stated, the famous move Floyd Mayweather is known for aka 'the pull counter', where he feints in order for his opponent to make a mistake then comes back with a counter straight right hand lead.

A lot of fighters who have fought Floyd Mayweather seem to fall for it continuously but to name one who came close with success was Maidana, in the second fight, near end of Round 3. Robert Garcia definitely did study on how to counter it.

What do you think?

Canelo didnt fall for it. Although Canelo fell for allot that night, anytime Floyd threw the pull, Canelo avoided it. I think Floyd tried it maybe 4 times that night.

Everybody will learn at their own pace. The positive of it all is that he is watching, learning and appreciating the art of it. No harm in trying.

There are ancient carvings that prove that cavemen actually performed the same feint, with the exception of using clubs

I was never even aware that Floyd claimed he was the one who invented it.

Natural Reflex and Timing really. Who the *** haven't taken from Legends, you would be ****** not to study the legend before you!
