Mayweather's Defense vs Marquez Defense

Yea. You dont know what you're watching from this statement

 

I know exactly what Im looking at. I said hes a straight line fighter, meaning he fight in straightl ines, without giving much lateral movement /angles. Did I ever say Floyd is easy? No Im just pointing out some aspects of his style that can be taken advantage of. I'm sorry your favorite fighter isnt perfect.

 

I know exactly what I'm watching. Floyd likes to stand right in front of his opponents. He doesnt attack in angles or create angles on defense, I've seen him do it a couple of times but it's rare. He's a striaght line fighter, he moves back in lines and pulls his head back, thats why hes vulnerable to jabs.

When you watch floyd PLEASE pay attention to his feet. You have a misunderstanding that angles can only be created by hoping around the ring. This is where you show your lack of knowledge. Floyd changes the angle with his feet, foot postition is why his defense is so good. Its not just reflexes. Floyd often takes away the shot before you even throw it because certain shots cant hit him from certain angles. Again, PAY ATTENTION.

If he finds himself out of postion with his feet(rarely ever happens) he changes the angles with the postion on his shoulder.

Floyd uses lateral movement and plenty of it, you just dont want to see it. He moves laterally after landing almost everytime.

Lastly floyd only uses it when he NEEDS TO. Out of his last 3-4 fights please tell me where he needed to use lateral movement?

Was he not using it VS JMM? Because they where all over the ring in that fight. You know why? BECAUSE HE NEEDED TO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HIS OPPONENT WAS DOING. If he doesnt need to he wont.

 

Who has giving floyd trouble with the jab besides DLH (whose jab is ATG btw).

Floyd spun out of those gif after DLH finished firing and turned him. Find a better gif for your argument. It doesnt help you. Yes he backs up in straight lines sometimes, all fighters do.

 

When did I say you have to hop around the ring to create angles? I'm mainly taling about the positioning of the boxers in the ring. Floyd has a habit of walking back and forth in straight lines it's obvious to see. He creates most of offense , and his defense standing directly in front of his opponent, just like in that gif I just posted. I never said that he had to use lateral movement to be successful, obviousyl he doesnt, bbut it's something to point out about his style.


and here you just totally contradicted yourself:

 

DLH showed Floyd why pulling your head straight back is an error in boxing. I think I saw him pop Floyd's head back with 3 jabs back to back.

He spun AFTER DLH was finished with his offense. Floyd will turn, or move to the side, but then he'll reset and go back to doing what he was doing before.

I could post a million more examples of Floyd backing straight up into the ropes or coming straight forward. He does it all the time.

 

You said he NEVER GIVES ANGLES.....Are you willing to admit this is false?

 

:deal Damn!!

 

Did he not use lateral movement VS JMM?

 

Mayweather has betterdefense than Marquez.

 

He use to watching Manny do them hop steps in the ring for no reason at all. LMAO. He doesn't understand Leon so cut him some slack. There is a reason Roach kept telling Manny to get his foot on the outside of Marquez's. The best fight he can go look at to see Floyd use his foot work to create angles is the Genaro Hernandez fight. Even then he will say Floyd doesn't give angles. atsch:rofl

 

Go ahead.

My agrument is with you saying he has no lateral movement, is robotic(very silly) and fights only in straight lines.

Ive told you how he uses these things you accuse him of not doing.
