    To be fair Floyd is usually out of the danger zone when he drops his right hand he has enough boxing IQ or whatever you want to call it to know when he is safe. Haney who thought he was the next Floyd is not an intelligent boxer like he claimed to be dropping his right hand in the danger zone where he is close enough to catch a counter left hook.

    A guy who is 50-0 and only 2 questionable decisions so at worst 48-2 can say what he wants.

    Floyd likely would have adapted, as was the case in all of his fights.
    In what fight was Floyd visibly hurt after the 6th round? I can only think of one, and it was more of a balance issue.

    I know you think Floyd is a pos and all but fair play for at least rating his skills and iq. Many haters call him rubbish, which is obviously silly lol

    Cause Floyd had enough braincells to gauge the distance of when he could be lax with his guard or not.

    Devin got rocked within the first minute of the first round.

    They have to know how an actual bow and arrow works to know the difference. LOL.

    Didn't Mayweather get stumbled by the first big left hook Hatton threw in round one? Granted it wasn't a counter of his jab.

    Still I think this whole "bow jab" is simply a product of body mechanics, especially when thrown to the body. Seems like fighters head position naturally changes as they change levels and throw the jab, and it just happens that their right hand is then misaligned and temporarily out of position to block a left counter. Maybe the good old glove pinned to the cheek would solve this.

    I've never said that Floyd was a bad fighter. I think he is a great fighter but still a cherry picking weasel. I used to be a big fan of his and a lot of other American fighters but following the current scene a lot closer in recent years has changed my opinions drastically. I owe a lot to ESB for educating me LOL.

    Slick fighters are sometimes overrated in terms of skill. Sometimes it's simply pure reflexes. Floyd has some of the best reflexes ever. So he gets away with stuff like this.
