That statement is contradictory. But Mayweather has always been good at having biased fans make irrational statements.It's not that Mayweather has not taken risks it's that he has always been that much better than everyone else. Safety first mentality my azz. It's called having the best defense in the history of the sport. And he has the highest accuracy of punches landed but of course you failed to mention that.
Skills are the ability to make someone miss and continuously counter them, shut them down - beat someone up while moving backwards or forwards. Even technique on a punch is skill. throwing an untelegraphed jab is a skill. What Mayweather is doing is being a strategist, cracking the systems flaws and getting away with it. But not really beating anyone. He didn't even deserve the Maidana victories with those grazing punches he was "landing".
take in his fight style and drop in a cherry picking mentality and you have yourself an undefeated fighter. Undefeated fighters are cherry pickers. The old fighters fought each-other numerous times and learned from it. These new cherry pickers like Calzaghe and Mayweather naturally stay undefeated because they avoid anything that presents a real challenge. The Casuals eat it up and the casuals are the one's forking out the cash.
Is he rich? yes is he great? hell no. It's one or the other Floyd, but you have dug the pit too deep now you can't go back. too many people would dance on your grave if you took a risk and caught a beating.Last edited by them_apples; 08-01-2017, 11:29 AM.

He is smart in the fact that he takes 2 minutes a round off, feints for 30 seconds and throws punches for 30 seconds. It gives him bragging rights with the highest connect percentage (which means absolutely nothing if you land 4 out of 5 total punches), and by cutting the round in half it's less time for him to get hit. He doesn't engage and when he does its for a short period of time. He only fights in Vegas because he might have some Ls right now if he didn't.

Floyd is going to humiliate McGregor. He's going to laugh at him while he's doing it. This is the only possible outcome of this fight.
It is a money grab. That's the only reason this fight exists. It has no other purpose.
Just thought I'd remind some of you.
