Tricks Mayweather does that no one notices Part 2

[IMDAZED]

I feel like you are going out of your way not to understand what people are saying when they say he waits for opponents to get old.

He waited for his rivals to fall off. If he had also fallen off as badly as they had, or had they not declined, he would never have fought them [or so the theory goes].

So perhaps the wording would be more clear as to say he only takes the fight if, at the time the fight is to happen, he appears to be in a better position than his opponent.

That's not to say the wins were not of quality btw.

Sorry don't agree

Sure buddy...

i think he always beats canelo, but lol canelo only had one credible win in which he struggled against trout. i don't know what golden boy was thinking putting him against somebody like mayweather.

[B][FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Black"]The way he struggled against Trout? He didn't struggle against Trout. Only to a non-fan did he struggle against Austin Trout. He fought a very smart fight against Trout, like he does everyone else. Trout had never been to the canvas, either. Canelo sent him there. As for the Mayweather fight. We all know that Canelo was badly drained. He knew how to fight Floyd but he was afraid of gassing because he didn't have the energy to let his hands go or pressure him. I DARE Floyd to fight him without a catch weight. How do you think that goes? Oh, wait. It's Floyd we are talking about. He gets DESTROYED!!!!!! Why do you think he drained the kid in the first place, if he wasn't afraid? Did he drain an OLD Oscar? Did he drain what he thought was a washed up Cotto??? Well then.

Here's your shovel hook to the body. He threw way more combinations back in his younger days.

That's a great find man

They will be studying Floyd's style for decades to come. He's a goldmine of technical boxing wizardry.

One trick of his I like is how he used the jab to the body to set up either an overhand right or a left hook. He'd get guys so confused with it that they wouldn't know which direction the punches were coming from.

Lol that jab to the body right hand combo was in my first post

[taken250]

The way he successfully places his left shoulder in his opponent's face, getting under them whilst working the midsection with short right uppercuts, usually people miss that. Mayweather is such a difficult target to hit up close.

Oh yes he did that the whole fight. You see floyd fight this way alot when hes sparring

[taken250]

This one's great, he anticipates Canelo's left, counters him before he even gets the shot off, counters him again when Canelo's arm is fully extended, tries to counter him after the punch (not sure if it lands) but manages to also evade the return fire from the right hand.

How the hell do you guys make gifs. And how do you make them so fast?

You're right about that. You're the only person in the entire thread who didn't troll. I bet if I posted tricks GGG likes to do, it would get less trolls

Do a thread then

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.

Well, the best advantage one can have is best obtained before one even gets in the ring. Many fighters use that trick but Mayweather was really good at that.
Makes good business sense too!

Mayweather throws a great forearm/elbow. That skill was undervalued.

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

Pac was 137 years old when he fought him!!
