mayweather is conning you

Bit surprised to be hearing what a ‘great’ floyd mayweather is.
He always has an angle.
The man has hand picked every single opponent, getting them when they were either past their best or when he had all the physical advantages.
Never beat a top opponent in their prime
He’s an on top fighter who has pulled the wool over the publics eyes for years.
Is one of the most safety first boxers in history.
Utilizes a fan un-friendly jab and grab style. Right hand, grab. Left hook grab.
Yaaawwwwnnnn.
When has he ever gone in as an underdog or even in a 50-50 fight?
Don’t believe it?

mayweathers last 7 fights

Guererro:
25 fights at feather weight, 2 fights at welter
18 months ago beat katsidis for the lightweight title
Verdict: blown up featherweight non-puncher, every single advantage to mayweather
How this fight was sold to the public as areal contest I’ll never know
The fight: one shot at a time from mayweather then hug for dear life.

Miguel cotto:
Mayweather wanted no part of cotto until:
He had suffered 2 crushing one-sided stoppage defeats to both margarito and pacquiao, the type of beatings which really sap a fighters shelf life.
Verdict: extremely damaged goods, a shadow of his former self
The fight: pretty one sided from mayweather tho he was hit pretty hard and a bit too often by the washed up cotto.

Victor Ortiz:
Ko’d by maidana at light welter
Verdict: Never in mayweathers league
The fight: cheap and nasty ending

Shane mosley
38 years old long past his best is 0-1-3 in his last 3 fights
Verdict: washed up former champ
The fight: wobbled badly but eventually outworked mosley, usual hit and hold tactics

Marquez
Good fighter but a natural featherweight, 2 previous losses to pacquiao
Verdict: huge size advantage for mayweather
The fight: too small to make a dent in mayweather, he never had a chance.

Hatton
Light welterweight champion
Verdict: solid champion but at weight class below
The fight: looked very uncomfortable in early rounds until natural size and strength took over

De la hoya
Was 34 years old and had had 4 fights in 4 years going in and had lost 2
Verdict: inactive over the hill former great in the twilight of a great career
The fight very close cat and mouse game, mayweather barely scrapes through on disputed split decision

not the resume of an all time great no matter how you dress it up.
anyone can look good against inferior/old/light opposition.

 

not many of those skills evident agaist guererro, unless youre talking about his single punch potshotting skills, his running skills or his grabbing skills which are superb, but where was his body punching? headmovement? combination punching? inside work? if iw ant to watch jaba nd grab ill watch the olympics

 

maybe, but tell me, which one of them was at his natural weight and in his prime?
