Subtle things Mayweather does so notices

[Jc8804]

This is an epic thread.

Floyds check hook baiting his opponent into the ropes is awesome,its as if everyone forgets thats one of the moves he uses. .

Yeah Floyd's check hook is deadly

[NEELZ]

I noticed that most of Floyd's punches actually land on the opponents gloves. This is an illusory way of creating a fight. He is close enough to hit the gloves. Fans, punch counter, commentators count that as landed, but he is far enough away to be in a better position to evade return fire.

Like in the DeLahoya fight. He landed almost nothing. Mayweather hit the gloves the vast majority of the time. There wasn't the slightest blemish, mark or swelling on DeLahoya's face but fans consider that as dominating someone. The Canelo fight also. Hit the gloves, nothing punishing to Canelo. Against Pacquiao he also landed almost nothing. He is a magician at this because he fools many people.

Lol. He does land on the face, clearly, a lot of the time, he just doesn't risk putting power until a lot of his punches. Those guys landed almost nothing on him. Canelo & Pacquiao were caught cleanly numerious times, but as I said, he doesn't put in power that snaps heads or causes cuts.

Looooooooool. Extremely hilarious, albeit unintentional.

I can't remember where i read or watched it but someone who fought him or sparred him said that jab to the body is very painful.

What a bizarre post. He clearly landed a lot on Canelo and De La Hoya too especially late in the fight, and he rocked him, as he did with Cotto.

Landed almost nothing against Pacquiao? I remember 2 straight rights in the first minute of the first round that basically made Pacquiao gun shy in my opinion. Not saying he was hurt, but i believe he felt something on those shots he didn't like. The reason he basically cut Pacquiao's and most other fighters workrate by nearly half of their usual output is because of his accuracy on his counters hitting them cleanly. They might not be very hurtful, but nobody wants to take them with that accuracy. Strong guys like Canelo and Cotto would walk through Floyd if he wasn't hitting them cleanly.

I think you should find a new sport, boxing is not for you...

Perfectly explained man.

[Kuyukut]

fraud's back pedaling is superb and his hugging skill is second to none.

wow...

If he backs up shouldn't people beat him on the ropes?
