I'm actually embarrassed that a fan like you who's been watchin boxing way before i was born, actually know much lesser than what i would expect. I like how you threw names in your argument, but then confirmed you didn't really analyze those fights. Mosely is old, ofcourse Floyd didnt need the athleticism i was referring to. Hatton fight, he was more like "restricted" because hatton was a clincher. Chavez was slow, small and was a plodder. BHOP at his age could make a young champion gas out and lose while being on the offensive.
So now Floyd didnt need to. He could have boxed Hatton on the outside. Instead he beat Hatton at his own game. You dont know **** about boxing. :good Chavez was an excellent inside fighter, had decent speed, and an incredible workrate. Floyd boxed brilliantly on the inside. AS to why many consider Floyd one of the best inside fighters currently in boxing. Floyd made a young champion gas out and lose while being on the offensive. I.e Judah. You dont know **** about boxing son. If I was your daddy I'd slap the **** out of you for trying to converse with your elders in such a way. :thumbsup
Floyd is better defensively. If you want to bring up stats he is better defensively. Floyd has never been put on his ass in what 14-15 years. Imo Floyds defense is top 3 all time.
bhop does not have better defensive skills than floyd not by a long shot. Floyd fights guys faster than bhop and he slips their punches and shoulder rolls his way out of trouble with ease, when the **** have you ever seen bhop shoulder roll his way out of anything? Bhop is incredibly fast and has good power but is definetly not on the same level as floyd with defensive boxing. In conclusion Floyd has the old school archie moore shoulder roll and is bringing old school technical boxing back thats why in my opinion he could take pacman and plus pac is on roids.
Somebody show me a fight where Floyd used his defensive skills at WW vs a younger true Welter coming off a win ????
They both display a great defense, but Mayweather's is even better because he always had superior reflexes and sense of timing, no matter when we compare through time.
Ding ding. We have a winner. So much of Floyd's defense is based on amazing reflexes and speed. Take that away and you have a fighter who is much easier to hit.
