    so it's not his offensive ability alone then. it's because he dominated.

    rigo also has that offensive ability, but he aint no ATG.

    if mayweather had a better jab you could say he had a complete offense

    If Mayweather threw combo's on a regular basis and actually knocked people out then you could begin to start a discussion. He's no prime Mike Tyson, as far as offense goes, that's for damn sure.

    Floyd has a great jab, what you talking about? The only critique you could have on it is that he doesn't use it enough.

    He can use it as an offensive weapon and snap your head back
    he can use it to measure his range
    He can use it to keep distance
    He can use it to sap his opponent's energy to the stomach
    He can feint with it or use it to set up other punches etc etc
