    he bias of the boxer who has a stylist who basically goes out to throw jabs and hugs in his fights, which gives him a clear favoritism over his rival and in turn, boxers like pitbull cruz or similar who throw are demonized or called boxers with poor IQ several punches... this bias I think was created by floyd because some fights he could have lost like with jose luis castillo even oscar de la hoya... basically he's a boxer who goes out to jab and hit a couple to win the round... so they are boxers who go to the decision where they normally have the referee and the judge on their side... devin haney with lomachenko... even when magsayo fought with gary russell they thought it was a robbery

    Damn bro, I had to read this **** a couple times and then again very slowly.

    Please use some punctuation, I understand this isn’t school but it still applies when you are writing something.

    I would love to have some input here regarding your above post, but I don’t understand what the heck your talking about.

    If you genuinely believe this about Mayweather and cannot see his skillset, then perhaps you should consider the fact that you DKSAB.

    It's not Floyd, it's you.

    We should talk instead about your clear bias against boxer/punchers................

    No matter the fighter if your going to follow someone around who's entire strategy is just to evade you at every opportunity in hopes to occasionally jab or counterpunch you can make even great fighters look bad,

    Just the way it always been, it's only when a mass favorite fighter does it it's then praised and/or shrugged off entirely.

    Yeah, it's true.
    The Mayweather ultra-safety style, sneaking rounds with some jabs and a few counters that don't really do anything, if that was the typical style in boxing, the sport would have very few fans.
    It's also a style that has the least similarity to real fighting. If Mayweather tried that in bare knuckle, he'd get smashed to pieces.
    Look how much success even Lobov had against Malignaggi when the big gloves and big ring were taken away.
    Muricans just love their idols.

    This makes no sense. Boxing isn't bare-knuckle fighting and never was intended to be, so that comment is irrelevant to any boxer.

    As for Mayweather, he was a legitimate power puncher at 130 and did not fight purely defensively until he moved up to 147+. Even then, he had some entertaining offensive bouts (e.g., Hatton). I agree that he generally was not fun to watch at those weights, but that's where the big money was so tough to criticize. The Baldomir fight was the one time I thought he truly stunk out the joint, because that should have been a KO.

    I always thought there was a bias to give Floyd rounds just cause he caused the other guy to miss a few more punches. That made it an automatic Floyd round if he didnt clearly lose it. Every 50/50 round was always given to him by tje judges outside of some bought of crooks like Byrd.

    You and I knew how FM was going to fight. You think his opponents knew it? Of course they did, yet could not do anything about it. FM had the ability to make most of his opponents fight his fight. The guys that had the best performances were Castillo and Madiana. They did not except the clinch and threw when they wanted. Only 2 out of 50 opponents. That's not luck, or refs or judges. FM had the skill and ability to figure out his opponent and adapt mid-round to get his opponents to fight at his pace. Watch the Andre Berto interview. He talked about FM's clinching. He stated that FM didn't only use the clinch to stop the opponents offense, but to take in big breaths. A smart tactic to help his stamina. He didn't have a fan friendly style all the time, but he was very good at what he did.

    Mayweather had some skills, but he lacked courage and didn't like to get hit.

    He had just one KO in his last 10 fights (against real boxers), and that was a sucker punch. That KO of Ortiz showed he had some power, but was afraid to use it.

    If Mayweather had a little courage, he could have stopped overmatched shot opponents like Berto and smaller opponents like Guerrero. But because he was so craven, he would run out the clock for dull decision wins.

    Interesting how Max Kellerman would make harshly negative comments about boxers from Eastern Europe such as Usyk if they did not KO their opponents, but he always showered Mayweather with nothing but loving praise.

    FM is a overrated fraud, real fighters also pick opponents where they are not the favorite, such as pacquai or duran. Mayweathers safety first style would be absolutely futile against a guy like margaritho or GGG.

    You're spot on. A lot people exaggerate how boring Mayweather was but the Baldomir fight was truly one of the worst of them all.

    If he's an overrated fraud then everyone he beat is one as well. Margo wouldn't win a round against pbf and if pbf and ggg were the same size pbf would box circles around him log off dumbass.
