    But Mayweather didn't do that voluntarily so he can't claim to be on the level of genius Usyk. Giving away rounds and getting hit on the chin voluntarily = genius.

      There's been some discussion on this - consensus seems to be he'll put on a little mass, but max out no higher than around 215 - 220 to maintain stamina.

      And the dude has power - at least enough power, but that ain't really what he does. Loading up drains stamina and most often opens you to counters. Dude tends to mix it up, mainly picking away with light shots then throwing a something with a little more mustard to keep his opponent guessing. Conserves stamina but forces an opponent to treat every shot as if it might be dangerous - we'll have to see how this works up at HW. Dude only starts really committing if he thinks a dude is on his last legs.

      Thing is, debate on the matter is kinda pointless... dude's moving up. What else should he do? The questions will be answered when he gets there.

          Mayweather gave away rounds and let Berto hit him too?

              So he didn't use the genius tactic of giving away round and letting Berto hit him in the Berto fight? But why?

                Is Brandon Rios the greatest genius of all time? He loses rounds and gets hit constantly. Pure genius.

                    16-0 with 12 KOs.

                    No power at all.

                      Cardio is very much important in boxing. This is why Jarrell Miller is a good favourite of mine. When you can throw and not get tired, then you have a chance at winning.
