Originally posted by !! Shawn View PostBoth Mayweather and Jones were able to do things because of athletic ability. Being able to rely on a pull counter, is not fundamentally sound boxing. That is relying on reflexes and is an unothodox skill.
Floyd did have great athletic ability obviously but that's what made him special, he was a great athlete who was also very sound technically.
Once Roy got old and his reflexes were no longer the same he wasn't able to be successful anymore. Floyd on the other hand continued to prove himself superior to everyone else even at almost 40 years old thanks to his fundamentals.

At least you admit he excessively holds and runs against fighters that threaten him.
All you need is watch his fights
Left hook - press head diwn
Right straight - backhand push the head
Duck then hug

Why not addess the issue for once instead of attacking the messenger.

Look, there's so called "fighters of the decade" and then there's the best fighter of the last 25 years.
There's levels to this.

If what Floyd does is so easy, why doesn't everyone do it?
Someone answer this.
From what I understand all he does is run and hug? Why isn't everyone following in his footsteps?

Am I spinning? Isn't that a fact? Defensive genius to me is sweet pea and James Toney. What they do is not defensive genius?
