    Early rounds (more notably the first) it was used and then it was used very seldom from then out.

    If anything this thread highlights the complete lack of offense from Floyd.

    Is there a single GIF of a sweeping right hand?

    How many uppercuts can we count? 1 hand more than likely.

    Jab to the body followed up by a right hand? Extremely seldom.

    Even leaping left hook that's being touted was used seldomly and as inaccurate as I've ever seen it used.
    It was, it's gonna be childish for me to repeat that but it was.

    The most consistent part of his game throughout this fight, other than the jab was body punching and I gotta say this was one of his better displays. The lead left hook hasn't been consistent since who, Marquez? and it's no coincidence that before that it was Hatton. It's not an easy one to land, let alone a leaping left hook.

    The last time Mayweather unveiled the uppercut more was against Cotto, who else can you say?

      I'll agree with you when I see consistent clips of it being used.

      He used the uppercut just as much if not more in any other fight he's had probably. He barely used it in this fight.

      Still not seeing this consistent body work. He hardly made a sustained attack to the body.

      The only punch used consistently was the Jab upstairs. That's the only real trigger he can pull consistently at this point it seems.

      Glimpses here and there of other punches I.e a few seldom uppercuts, a few seldom right hands, a body combination in the 7th (I think). Most of which as inaccurate and sloppy as ever. Won't even go into how painful the attempt at combination punching was to watch.

        I can't continued to make any more than that, all I can say is re-watch it for yourself. Every time Berto tried to pin him against the ropes Mayweather threw short right uppercuts to the body, reminded me a lot of the Hatton fight.

          I've rewatched it once and it won't rewatch it again because it depresses me seeing a shell of Mayweather look so poor.

          It seemed like Floyd couldn't escape the ropes for a lot of the fight. Check hook was M.I.A. He couldn't seem to keep Berto as limited as he is in the centre of the ring where he could have got some work done as opposed to the little work he did do.

          Yeah he did some body work in the clinches. And he really initiated a lot of those cliches aswell.

            What do you mean? The check hook and lead hook were there all night. Floyd landed at his highest percentage in years, and landed a whopping 57% of his overall punches while taking relatively little punishment. I saw him land several uppercuts on Berto as well.

            This was the best Floyd has looked in some time. Sure his hands are definitely now shot. He only threw 400 punches and still hurt his hands. But his reflexes were still good. I think the reason people re criticizing this fight and Floyd's performance is because people didn't think much of Andre Berto to begin with. So even if Floyd knocked him out in 6 rounds they would not have been impressed. Berto was somewhat decent a couple of years ago and he's still got excellent hand speed. But Floyd at 38 was able to toy with him.

                  Its good Floyd left now his Offense is shot to **** and he consistently clinches, thast not defense to me. Defense is hit and not get hit what he did to Canelo stood there barley any cliches and made him miss matrix style. This Floyd and Floyd in the Pac fight was pathetic. The Chino fight i cant blame him no one has beat Chino without clinching like crazy.

                      Floyds last great fight, after that downhill, he also started to look like he had more bulk. Watch his movements here and compare to the Pac and Breto fights.
