Official Mayweather Vs Berto master thread.

Good points. In my opinion, I think his hand problems are worsening. And that has resulted in less punch output. That left hand you mentioned he wasn't using much, was also the left hand he said was hurt around Round 6 or Round 7. Bad hands is definitely my guess for the offense.

Floyd has had bad hands for a large portion of his career, and he was still offensively sound, he just can't pull the trigger like he used to, he can in the occasional burst but not as consistently as he used to, Floyd used to be able to land a shot from anywhere but that isn't the case anymore, it happens he's 38 now and just not what he used to be, Canelo was the last time you saw him pull the trigger almost whenever he wanted, he's not quite looked the same since the first Maidana fight. He looked pretty good in beating Pac but that was more down to being technically superb and having a great gameplan.

Floyd was dehydrated @146 lbs vs Pac, was he dehydrated @146 lbs against Berto? anyone?

[Spacey1991]

If he wants to get to 50-0 (he's adamant he won't but who knows if someone offers him $$) then he better do it no later than May, if he kept declining the way he has been he will struggle, and if he had a few years off and try a comeback fight he will definitely struggle.

Save it for the IV thread, Reed made that thread to discuss it in there, not other threads.

Yes, we are all aware he's had a history of bad hands. But what many aren't factoring in is that those hands don't get any better over time. Those hands don't improve, instead they age and get worse.

this is an official floyd vs berto thread right

it was not an IV related question but dehydration

comprehension problem or guilty conscience?

I don't doubt that he may still have hand problems, but he's hurt/broke his hands multiple times before and managed to fight through it, he's used to doing that so I can't see that as a reason why his offense has noticibly declined, you can just see that he can't pull the trigger like he used to, he's still very sharp for a 38 year old don't get me wrong but he's not what he used to be, which if anything shows how great he truly is/was. He's 38 and just can't do things like he used to.

Guilty concience?

What do I have to feel guilty about? There's a thread specifically for the IV situation, you're more likely to get a reply in there because people go in there specifically to talk about that subject, so you're wasting your time asking it in here, and don't give me that crap about it being a dehydration question, you know just as much as the rest of us what you were trying to imply.

yep I said the samething if Floyd wants to fight again, he better do it next year.


don't try to comeback 3 or 4 years from now.
