    That's possibly the most amazing punch I've ever seen in boxing. Here's DLH wailing on him (and he was still fast), but he has the composure and the split second timing to interject his own punch between oscar's hooks, and it lands right on the button.

    You ever seen James Toney? He did the same thing to a prime Roy Jones.

    Mayweather has looked brilliant against some excellent opposition. Chico Corrales was in the P4P top 10, was in his prime, was bigger than Mayweather and Floyd dominated every single round knocking him down several times.

    I suppose all the contestants that Mayweather beat in the Olympics were lousy aswell were they? Go follow another sport if you can't bring yourself to acknowledge Mayweather's brilliance, you clearly know absolutely **** all about boxing.

    Yep, I noticed the vid focused mainly on his defense in that fight which was very good that night but it left out a lot of good clean shots that he landed on DLH that could have been squeezed in there.

    i don't understand why fans of one fighter (pac) can't acknowledge the talent that his rival (floyd) has...it's ok to say another fighter is just as good as your favorite fighter. be a fan of the sport lol. floyd's a talented boxer, i couldn't give a **** less how he is as a person. i watch him for what he does in the ring, and never outside of it.

    as far as toney doing that shoulder roll to counter right against roy..can you show me? i've seen that fight countless times..he prolly decked jones once or twice, but roy never allowed toney into that fight

    Been saying for a long time now, Gaywather does not move his legs anymore!!!! He tends to bend his waist more, like backwards, forward to avoid punches. There are probably more than 20 pictures of Gayweather bending so low in the JMM fight.

    He is susceptible to a body puncher. The body punch that Hoya threw could have connected if he is millisecond faster.

    brilliance? lick his ass more please. He's a good fighter. Skilled, good ring smarts. But he ain't that good. id be more impressed with floyd if he did something I've never seen before. Most of the stuff he does I've seen other fighters do, some better. James Toney did everything he does defensively and better. Roy Jones did all that potshot stuff better then he does. Floyd impresses me with his accuracy at times, and he's a smart fighter no doubt. He's not as good as your imaginations make him out to be tho.

    c this doesnt impress me. Oscar is not a particularly smart fighter. He's just wailing punches here at Floyd's head, not knowing apparently that floyd's gonna be looking for a counter right. If he had watched tapes of floyd for even 10 minutes, he'd know what Floyd likes to do 90% of the time which is roll his shoulder back and look for a counter right hand. Oscar should have gone down to the body and set that combination up better. He should of expected what Floyd was gonna try to do because Floyd does the same thing 90% of the time. He'll either throw a lead hook, lead right, or look to counter with a right hand over the jab or roll his shoulder and counter with straight right or uppercut. If you know how to attack floyd and are mindful of what he likes to do he doesn't look all that special.
