Why is Floyd Mayweather known as a boxing genius when he's only shown us one style

[firstborn]

LOL, I haven't seen such a unified thrashing in years. Wonder if the thread starter will create an alt to escape the embarrassment......bottom line, you can't downgrade Mayweather's skill set just because he's a pr*ck.

Pathetic thread.....


floyds a fantastic fighter, and can do anything in the ring..

Walk you down
fight off the back foot
lateral movement
jab
body shots
lead right
counter right
fight in the pocket
fight injured like in castillo 1 and famoso
footwork
handspeed
conditioning
ring IQ
ring generalship
left hook

and has proven it against every style imaginable vs the very best of his era...

when you have wins over guys like marquez, manny, cotto, canelo, oscar, shane, hat ton, corrales, castillo, maidana, judah, genero, your pretty god damn good

If you think Floyd only uses one style then you don't pay attention when you watch fights, or you haven't seen enough of his fights.

Which explains why one day Floyd's called a runner and the next day he's said to have "shot legs".

When Floyd walked down Mosley and stood predominantly flat footed, he was said to have shot legs but it's because Floyd opted to be flat footed. Floyd actually stands flat footed a lot in all honesty. Take his fight with Demarcus Corley, that fight was fought predominantly from a flat footed stance and stood right infront of him. Whereas the Baldomir fight he literally didn't stop moving.

Even at the lower weights, Genaro he walked down, Corrales he stuck and moved.

To imply Mayweather isn't versatile is just outright crazy.

I get how there are new fans who might have only seen Mayweather towards the end, when he did fight in a defensive, as low activity as he could get away with style, and think he only fought one way, but he definitely did not fight that way throughout his entire career. He's as versatile as a boxer can be. There's nothing he "couldn't" do. He may prefer one way, but he could fight in any way.

What exactly are you on about?

The first fight with Maidana, Mayweather looked uncomfortable and had to adjust
