Floyd Mayweather's defence

Philly shell.
great defense.

 

Ur here 2. Well il actually agree with wat u said the phillt shel, is the best defense if u can pull it off.

 

Iv watched a lot of floyd and see any way of breakin it. He has an answer for every punch. If its a jab, he pulls back and hits u with the right, If its the right he turns the shoulder, he blocks the left hook and drops his elbow for the bodt shot and cums bal with an uppercut. Hes a master of defence.

 

He just seems to be on the defensive all the time, which makes him hard to hit. But, Marquez's right was the only thing that caught Floyd on the chin, probably because he keeps his left pretty low.

 

his best defense is avoiding the dangerous welterweights

 

Yeah but at the same time that mite be to make there opponent throw the right because thats the only opponing they can see so he knows they will throw it and cum bak with a counter.

 

#1 Vulnerable to a good jabber. He keeps his left hand low, across his body leaving himself open to a good jabber.
#2 Once he's been caught by a good few jabs, he brings his left up quite high and doesn't tuck his elbows in to his sides, therefore leaving him open to body pucnhes
#3 Looks very uncomfortable when fighters go to the body
#4 When he is setting up the lead right hand, he often "paws" with his jab a few times first, making it easier to anticipate the quick, lead right he throws

 

Like B-Hop, Floyd's Philly Shell defense helps him avoid being hit by almost all power punches. Furthermore, a thing which many of his opponents have fallen victim to, is his ability to make them fight his style of fighting. Many times I've seen his opponents find themselves thinking too much; consequently becoming sitting targets waiting to punished.

Floyd can never be out-thought, but I believe he can be out-fought. Maybe one day a high volume puncher with a high work rate, could sneak a contraversial split decision (much like Calzaghe did against B-Hop). Floyd is too crafty and smart to ever be knocked out or stopped, but he can be susceptable to an unlucky points decision in which the judges favoured quantity over quality

BAM! true.

 

u do realize the he timed DLH's jab and starting throwing over it, thus DLH stopped jabbing

 

Its a style that Mayweather has taken to another level
because of the quickness of his feet and ability to keep
range and counter punch - whilst quickly moving in and out.

Floyd likes to keep 'just in' punching distance so that he
can counter punch - and he usually has a reach advantage
against his opponent, which helps.

A fighter like Pac would give Floyd fits with his in and out
movement and fast hands - and Im not sure how Mayweather
would go countering a guy who relentlessly doesnt stop, throws
combination punches from all angles and has speed and power.
Also, Pac would be quick enough to catch Floyd with a left
uppercut when Floyd ducked down

I think its why experts liked the prospect of a fight with Pac,
because to win, Floyd wouldve had to let his hands go.
And I think he wouldve, hopefully we find out some time.

 

How can a low left hand make you vulnerable to a jab? Are you talking about against a southpaw?

 

His defense is good, stamina is good every thing is good except his low output and he is overly cautious. His power isnt an issue because his style isnt based on that. Though his hands have been bothering him for a long time so maybe thats why he doesnt use many combos like he used to at 130-135, even 140.
