    Just because he dosen't throw a lot of punches dose not mean he lacks offensive skills.
    Hes an outstanding counter puncher, punches with acuracy and is sneakily agrisive.

    I voted 9. If he wasn't as good offensively as he is, he wouldn't be where he is today. You only need to look at recent examples in McCloskey and Mosley against Khan and Pacquiao, to know that making an opponent miss is one thing, but making them miss and pay is another. Floyd's offense is good enough to get his shots off whilst defending, which is very hard to do. A lot people can't switch between the two modes, and Floyd does it very fluently. For this reason, his offense is grade A, for me.

    Not to mention he's extremely accurate, and makes every punch count. What more can you ask for in an offense? Not everything is about activity.

    Spot on. Many people assume being a defensive boxer means they lack offense. A counter punch is offense, and no-one in the sport today does it better than Mayweather IMO.

    I totally agree with you here Goro. PAC would beat the **** out of Mitchell Bruseles Judah without making adjustment. Ignore Blizz. He's a Floyd cocksucker for life. I think MichiganWanker Bl(j)izz and VecArrow are just one. Might as well ignore then three :smoke

    i reckon the average number of punches landed per round by a top fighter would be around 20. floyd's average now is slightly below this, which means he'd probably be a 7 for me.

    One of your best posts, I think the reason many people overlook his offense is because it doesn't look DEVASTATING in Steward's words.

    Pacquiao a 10? Sorry Sugar Nikolai Valuev is a 10. Compared to the Legend. Pacquiao is a 9.

    Thanks in advance.
