    Every Floyd opponent was deemed inferior not just by Floyd himself, but his ridiculous fans. Try harder next time.
    Where are you Goldie?

      Because he was the last great sharp-shooter. Every punches he threw were intended to land. Spence and Canelo have similar punching mechanisms, but they just aren’t as accurate and precise as Floyd was. However, Canelo is more fluid with his combos.

                To be fair to Loma I think he's the least tagged fighter ever and by quite a margin too. The fact he makes people miss so much while constantly moving forward and pressuring them is insane.

                    Not really, there are plenty of sharpshooters, they just aren't even close to as successful as Floyd at it.

                      Sorry can't embed worth a damn. But when it comes to his offense (not counterpunching) he's basically saying that he never throws a punch if he thinks his opponent is ready for it, he tries to catch you not ready, he uses his feints and variety of long distance punches very well so that you don't see it coming and his reflexes and thought process were extremely quick, that the time between him seeing the opportunity and landing the shot is too short for his opponent to react.

                      Also after boxing so long (if you're a true student of the game and not a converted football player) You can anticipate your opponent's next move and where his body and head are going to be in the next second so you can fire the shot even before the opening and still land. These qualities were the foundation to his style offensively and also defensively.
                      Wow, great video. I liked Pretty Boy Floyd, not so much Money Mayweather. This is when he was humble
