Comments Thread For: Joshua Wants To Be More Like Mayweather, Not Mike Tyson

I'm a Floyd fan and I 100% disagree with you.

Tyson's peek-a-boo defense in prime was impeccable. It's HARD to dodge combination punches as long and as frequently as he used to. Then to come back and straight up spark the opponent with one punch? His was a thing of beauty.

I don't think there's anyone that would have called Tyson/Gross, for example, a boring fight.




Floyd's is a different level of brilliance. It's frustrating and embarrassing your opponent, making them all look like B-level fighters in comparison. But take Mayweather/Pacquiao - which while the boring part wasn't Floyd's fault, fact remains.

Oh, no, the boring, depressing tricky and cheating part was all Floyd. He clinched Manny no less than 20 times, referee pretending nothing happened. And in this small snippet you showed, Floyd clearly ate two brutal lefts to the liver and pathetically Floyd shakes his head with a face that evidently reflects pain. When boxers shake their heads like that it ALWAYS means they were hurt.

You realize that Manny threw over 1000 punches at Clottey, yet for some reason, didn't even throw half that against Floyd?

Manny had to show up with round by round relentless pressure, because that's what won him fights. He failed to do that. He let TBE dictate pace and it cost him.

Manny made it boring.

That you fail to understand that the clinch done an average of 1.2 times per round is a legal move to nullify offense shows you know little about boxing really works.

Done.
