Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Being in a Toe To Toe Battle is Not Good

[therealpugilist]

Hes never needed to and that shows how great he is

most fighters slug, because they are not well schooled in basic boxing fundamentals. That's not anything to glorify putting your life at risk because you don't know the proper way to parry a jab, slip a punch or roll one...I call it ******ity

[therealpugilist]

How would he know? He never been toe-to-toe

people who actually followed the sport before he was past prime know he had some exciting fights in his prime and younger days


and yes, he did stand toe to toe sometimes

[therealpugilist]

He went toe to toe with Chop Chop Corley that was a great fight

they were not following boxing back then

[MRCHOKEaMF]

LOL, why do they even teach defense? <<<

They don't remember pretty boy Floyd

I don't think there'll be another boxer with this running/potshotting/clinching/surviving style in the coming generations that people would glorify the way they do today. Not in a million years. I would bet in just a year or two all these boring boxers will get the treatment they deserve. Treat them like they actually are, one dimensional, no inside skills, fragile... Only reason why they're surviving is because the ref tolerates their garbage. Hehe...

He was a complete fighter and went for the kill


I hated when he changed to money Mayweather and his aggression went with him


nobody cared about him when he tried to say the right things, patterned himself after ray leonard. When he started talking shyt then they wanted to see him lose

funny howit worked out....he was bitter lesser fighters like Gatti and ODLH WERE GETTING BIG BUCKS

[Jimmy 23]

Fraud bla-bla-bla.I bet 90% of posters never NEVER been in the ring, just keyboard warriors.Floyd is a chicken, coward... damn, he tougher than all of you idiots.Just go to the gym and try take a punch of 160-165 professional boxer, even not clean punch on your shoulder, arms... just try

the messed up part is everyone talks about fighting toe to toe as being great and wonderful but when these guys get older and start having real deal mental problems people just talk ****. look at mayweather sr and roger both are obviously the way they cause of punches to the head not drugs and all u hear is people talking ****.

or a fighter that gets addicted to drugs which comes with brain damage and everything else. people can say all they want about toe to toe but once they are done they throw these fighters out with the trash.

got to respect fighters that do that type of fighting putting their life on line for money or the fans however u want to see it but at the same time u cant bash a guy who was able to be the most paid fighter of all time by fighting in a style that most say is "boring". i mean think about what he accomplished hate mayweather or not what he was able to do with his fighting style really is impressive.

i mean look at rigo for example hes dominant undefeated and no one cares

You can add many more to that list. The Ndou fight was very exciting and violent. Almost all Floyd's fights at 130 were exciting and he was knocking guys out. It sounds most of these salty fans started following boxing the last couple years.

This is a youtube of Floyd's exciting fights:
