      He went toe to toe with Cotto. It's not his fault Cotto didn't want to exchange back. And he has brawled but remaining defensively positioned. Watch the Gatti fight.

        He can't integrate offence and defence with fluidity. He can't combo punch for ****.
        Well, I was hoping this wasn't a troll, but the joke's on me.

          The Cotto fight he was offensive but hardly great brawling ffs. Infact I hate the word brawling, I prefer to use the term pressure fighter.

          Gatti was garbage.

            When have we ever seen Floyd going in and out of range mixing offence and defence with speed and fluidity while throwing combinations the whole time. I'm talking speed of body not hands. Watch Roberto Duran now that's what you call a proper dynamic fighter. Not Floyd Mayweather.

              Which part is made up?

                  OP clearly has not watched Floyd's entire career.

                  I want to help.

                  Mayweather/Burton: Watch how Floyd fights here.
                  Mayweather/Corrales: Watch how Floyd fights here.
                  Mayweather/Gatti: Watch how Floyd fights here.
                  Mayweather/Bruseles: Watch how Floyd fights here.

                  Especially since I saw a joke post saying Floyd doesn't combo? Seriously?


                  Now...switch it up.

                  Mayweather/Marquez
                  Mayweather/Hatton
                  Mayweather/Canelo
                  Mayweather/Manfredy
                  Mayweather/Castillo 2

                  Now...switch it up.

                  Mayweather/De La Hoya
                  Mayweather/Mosley
                  Mayweather/Pacquiao
                  Mayweather/Maidana 2
                  Mayweather/Berto

                  Now...switch it up.

                  Mayweather/Cotto
                  Mayweather/Maidana 1
                  Mayweather/Castillo 1



                  Now, how exactly does Floyd have "one style" again?

                    Floyd is great defensively but to call him a genius is a bit of a stretch. If his opponent isn't very good I'm sure Floyd can fight many ways.

                    When his opponents were a bit higher he is pretty samey

                      He took Hatton and Canelo's undefeated records and has taken titles off multiple weight class champions. How much "higher" can you get?
