I am impressed with Floyd's ability to avoid fighting, box as little as possible, and still win a fight.
I saw very little boxing but lots of great footwork, superb defense, strategy and most importantly intelligence.
Mayweather overly simplified but close:
It was back up, look, move forward fast and punch, run backwards in a swervy line onto the ropes, take a few punches, spin around placing Baldomir on the ropes, land a few punches, run backwards out of reach and repeat over and over. Run down the clock...
Oh ya and in between cover up making Baldomir hit your arms and hands.
How many rounds can you run down the clock?
Master 12 rounds of that and win the fight.
Some fights seem to need more than 12 rounds; the results would be different in so many fights.
In 15 rounds Floyd still would have won. He has way too much stamina.
