Did Mayweather's Own Trend Backfire on Him?

However, given that there is sometimes a trend to score for guys who use a lot more movement as having ring generalship although that has nothing to do with it and given that it's possible Mayweather's own popularity had to do with this trend even starting, did his own trend backfire on his fighter, given that Jack is a come forward aggressive guy and DeGale is the one who moves and backs up a lot more and seemed to get the benefit of the doubt for that fight?

Jack won the fight but not the boxing match. Decision was fair.

Mayweather was never been out punched by his opponents besides the first Castillo Fight. The Bute and Degale fight reminds me of the first Marquez-Pacman first 2 fights. Marquez out punched Pacquioa in both of their fights, and the judges gave it a draw and a win for Pacman respectively.
Badou Jack clearly won that fight. Degale was younger, and the bigger star in this fight just like the judges giving the fight to Pacquiao because he is younger than JMM, and the more popular fighter.Last edited by RomanReigns; 01-21-2017, 06:02 PM.
