for those who forgot, this is the difference between Money May and Pretty Boy Floyd

[therealpugilist]

Pretty Boy Floyd had the youthful exuberance, was still very elusiveness yet had an aggressive style


he had faster hands and feet than his welterweight days also surprisingly better reflexes ....cluster of combinations, quick combos and killer instinct to stop hurt opponents.....his ko ratio was around 70% in these days from 1996-2005

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

The hand problems combined with fighting naturally bigger opponents forced him to fight far more defensively IMO.

No one forgot as it's talked about frequently on this forum

Money May also became more flat footed and stayed in the pocket more. Pretty boy floyd used way more movement.

There is a common misconception that Floyd used more movement as he got older, but outside of the 2nd Maidana fight, he didn't.

All time fantasy fight. PBF vs MM. Who wins and how? Let's say it takes place around 135-147

yep...potshotting and placing his shots...if you notice when he was at 130 he was usually the taller guy, he hit a lot of guys on their skull, top of the head when he threw str8 rights and uppercuts......he learned how to place his shots and pot shot his man over time

yup depended on his opponent....he knew tactically moving on Pacquaio, Maidana, and Canelo was the best way to win they have to be set to land combinations
