    Tricks Mayweather does that no one notices Part 2

    Hi guys this is the Part 2 of the Mayweather tricks I posted a while back. These aren't certain moves people neglected to see kn his arcenal

    1. Inside shovel hook
    This is a move Floyd just start previously doing that when he attempted it ...it worked. Maybe this is a move Floyd Mayweather practiced or just came up with on the fly, but it still works. The first time I seen Floyd attempt this was against Maidana in the second fight. It was later in the match when Floyd Sr kept telling Floyd Jr to dig deep or just straight out attack his body. Floyd Mayweather used this to great success for a brief period.

    Then it came in when Mayweather attempted this move on Maidana. After being broke up from the ref..... Maidana came after Mayweather. Mayweather looking vulnerable, backed up in a straight line with his hands held high. As Maidana attempted to jab at Mayweathers guard, it seemed to be another trap Mayweather planned was sprung. As he jabbed, Mayweather straightened out his legs and slipped to his left and delivered a big left hook to the solar plexus.That got Maidana thinking twice after that. He also did this move on Berto in the 11th round. Which still worked go watch the fights for yourself

    2. Punch smother. This move pretty self explanatory and most of you guys probably already knew this but im guessing alot still dont. You'll see Floyd attempt this on numerous occasions on his sparring partners. You'll see Floyd tagging his opponents with hard straight right leads or left hooks only then to purposely fall into them while using the heel of his gloves to push his opponents head back to prevent them from countering. This moves turns out work really well since makes you're opponent of balance to throw a punch with his head back. Lol watch Ricky Hatton fight for pointer

    3. Two armed punching. This move is simple yet soooo effective. This is a move Floyd practices alot and uses it on most occasions. Youll occasionally see people like Mayweather or Ward attempt this move by jabbing with their left hand and hooking with their right hand

    See the way it works you occupy the opponents guard with soft jabs to finish with a short right to the body. This move is very useful for people who attempt to lean back alot in a fight since their body is still there to be hit. Youll see him do this on more fighters than others. He did this move to Ricky Hatton alot. He also performed it a couple of times against Marquez

    Alright those are the tricks

    Anything you noticed he does?

    4. Wait for fighter to leave their prime
    This is about THE smartest thing Floyd does. He waits until fighters are on a decline, that way he can still have the name under his resume but fight them when they're a shadow of themselves.

      If he fights a young guy his haters say "he fought a guy with little experience." If he fights a guy around his age and experience level they say "he was past his prime."

      Haters are a funny bunch.

        Let's not forget how he gets younger while his opponents get older.

          You missed some, for example:

          a) force your opponent to change gloves
          b) make them come to 152 for a title fight, even though you have fought at 154 before
          c) Clinch
          d) Cry to the ref
          e) Put elbows against the face of your opponent
          f) Use IVs to get away with PED use
          g) Make them come up two weight classes for you
          h) Buy the ref and the judges

            4. When he's with Elleribe or Beiber, he's the one turning tricks.

              And they're both true statements. There's a reason it's called a fighter's 'prime' they peak at that moment. I still give him credit for the Canelo win. Canelo said he was ready and hell he had over 40 professional fights under his belt at that time.

                This is a good one that was effective against Canelo:





                You can see Canelo looking for that uppercut but Floyd was able to smother him to avoid return fire.


                PS...This isn't a good site to have an intelligent, technical boxing discussion about Floyd Mayweather. His name just attracts too many bitter trolls. You can see how the thread plays out but expect a lot of flaming and immaturity.

                  Duck your main rival for 6 years until he's s shadow os his former self on the basis of strict drug testing then violate your own drug testing

                  Switch opponents gloves an hour before the fight

                  Punch opponent while he's trying to shake hands (your only knockout in years)

                  Bring an opponent up 2 divisions then intentionally miss weight

                  Drain opponent who can already barely make his own division

                  Go to jail for beating wife spend 99% of your time in strip clubs and go bankrupt multiple times (despite posing with briefcases full of IRS-reserved/garnished cash) but still be portrayed as a role model who "Defies the stereotypes"

                    a) force your opponent to change gloves: The A side fighter has chosen the gloves for his opponent many times. Morales chose Pacquiao's gloves. De La Hoya chose Mayweather's gloves.
                    b) make them come to 152 for a title fight, even though you have fought at 154 before: Canelo offered to fight at 150 when Floyd agreed Canelo renegotiated to have the fight at 152. The catchweight was Canelo's idea
                    c) Clinch: All fighters use clinching, Muhammed Ali once clinched 18 times in one round!
                    d) Cry to the ref: Who hasn't complained to a ref when getting hit with a dirty tactic?
                    e) Put elbows against the face of your opponent: Elbows to create distance are not and never have been illegal.
                    f) Use IVs to get away with PED use: No proof of PED use and fighters often use IV's to rehydrate. De La Hoya used an IV before his fight with Pacquiao
                    g) Make them come up two weight classes for you: Again, the opponent offered to come up in weight to challenge him.
                    h) Buy the ref and the judges NO proof or factual evidence of this.
                    I just countered all of those arguments
