    foyd hit like a truck. when he faced castillo he had 75% ko, at superfeatherweight that's a freaking lot.

    Mayweather has **** hands, they were garbage prone to injuries as ****. Look at his punch frequency, at the end of his career he could barely punch. Still he was able to get the respect of his oponents with such a low punch frequency. You cant do that without power. Had he had healthy hands....

    But ok, go watch the corrales fight and tell me again that he had no power. Bah! I wont argue anymore about that. What's obvious is obvious, I dont feel like wasting my time.

    he had no power with his hands broken. And it doesnt mean he had no power, it means that he could not use all the power that he had, as he could do when his hands were healthier. He adapted power-punching less and less as the years went by, good for him, bad for fans :(

    For me it's Big David Price. Could have fought on the backfoot as an outboxer his career but cared too much about the fans and wanted to be a gunslinger. Had the pedigree to fight that way but listened to the promoters and fans and took short notice fights. Proper fighting man who deserves respect coming from nothing.

    His body mechanics are wrong when he punches, he can only stopped small fighters, Hatton started at light welter.

    His feet were too slow and his defense was awful.
    Walcott caught him flush and sparked him.

    He fought Usyk in a defensive fashion.

    Usyk: pushes his punches at times, is sloppy with his lead hook, can't fight on the inside (or doesn't make an effort to), frequently has atrocious haircuts, and the less said about that handlebar the better.

    Usyk is better on the front foot than AJ, he has better hooks and more variety of shots.

    Usyk uses more feints than Canelo and lands more punches, his jab is a lot better also, his footwork is far better.

    No, he tried to box Usyk, but got outboxed. Instead, he should've bided his time and wait for an opening to throw his killer right.

    He should have used feints to create openings, plus he landed a lot of right hands in a couple of rounds.
