    Has Floyd even learned hot to avoid a straight punch?

    I'm watching a lot of youtube VHS tapes of Floyd's previous fights, and I saw that he got rocked hard by Mosley with a straight right hand.

    Then I saw Maidana use the same straight right hand that Mosley used. For realz, does Floyd even know how to defend against a straight right hand? It blew my mind how it's been 4 years since Mosley, yet here is Money May still getting hit with the same punches!

        I don't recall mentioning Pacquiao in this thread, but since you bring him up...

        I see Manny get hit with the same straight right hand from his opponents that Floyd gets hit with. You'd think that at this stage, both guys would be impossible to hit. But obviously, both Mayweather and Pacquiao still have a lot to learn about boxing.

          So out of the 1000s of punchers thrown at Floyd by HOF fighters a few get through , big deal what did Floyd do when they got through , ****** it up and dominated them , the same big punches in the very least put Manny down ,

          Its boxing everybody is going to get hit , its about what happens when they do , Mannys punches wont bother Floyd he dont hit anywhere near the hype .

            Floyd gets hit with straight lefts and Pac gets hit with straight rights, its the battle of who lands the punch first, and Floyd has the longer reach so he will be landing his right hands all night.

              You are wrong. Even Algieri managed to land the same right hand on Pacquiao that Marquez used to KO Pacquiao!

                Every fighter gets hit. It's how often and how clean you get hit that shows a bad/good defence.

                  That was a overhand right Maidana hit Mayweather with, not the same punches that Mosley stunned him with(IIRC it was a looping right that Mosley used).

                  And you can point to literally any instance of someone getting hit by a punch. The test is getting hit with the same punch or getting tricked by the same thing throughout the course of a whole fight which he never does.

                    No, he obviously didn't learn it, the fact that he beat the likes of Judah, ODLH, Cotto, Hatton, etc... and the fact he is P4P #1 must be pure luck since he can't even avoid straight punches.

                    What a laughingstock of a thread...
                    Seriously,think before you write/say something.
