how come ppl dont pull a rocky on mayweather and start hitting shoulders

[Easy-E]

i mean we all know his defense the shoulder rolls so why not jus go for his shoulders and pound those for rounds and rounds if u cant get the body or face. i mean his arms will get tired from picking his hands up. and then his defense and handspeed will be thrown out the window. thats what rocky marciano did and he was very successful. ppl see the head and wanna attack it instead of thinking smart

gatti tried to do that and look what happened!

Gatti went in with a horrable game plan. And that was to box, a master boxer

[Run]

Did he also include a body attack, a head attack?

Another thing fighters don't do as much or don't know how -without getting a point taken- is how to hit the opponets hips. This alone will whear a fighter down, tire his legs.

Every possible place you could try attacking,

Augustus attacked.

If Floyd's body was a sheet of paper, and Augustus hands were ink stamps....he covered the paper with ink and no white was still showing.

I'll have to see this fight then, I'll watch it today.

One of the things that Floyd is also good at is, not telling his opponet when he is hurt. You can hit Floyd and think he is not hurting when in fact he is, but as you've mentioned he can take pain. But in this, Floyd fools some of his opponets so they resort to a differnt attack, forgetting to keep the same steady attack.

Take a look at Chavez v. Taylor. Chavez fought Taylor with a steady attack and Taylor didn't seem to flinch, till the attack by Chavez finally took its toll and the same punchs Taylor was able to take earlier in the fight he was unable to shake off the same punchs in the later rounds. And this was because Chavez keep the same steady attack.

Boy, you are dead on the money with that right there.

Alot of fighters when hit will smile at their opponent, or shake their head. In most cases that is a sign that the punch actually hurt.

I really don't think it is in Floyd's case. And you're correct...I think alot of fighters were discouraged from continuing something that may have been working, because they thought in reality it wasn't.

But.

I still say it's easier said than done in Floyd's case, considering he's such a gymrat and works on his conditioning to the max.
