    pedjr looks liike the second coming against slow plodders where he can plant his feet and counter.

    rush him or keep him moving, he gets into defensive shell, looks for the ropes and asks the ref to bail him out.


    pac is gonna blitz this bum.

    no featherfisted is gonna beat pac, never.

    Now you see why he avoided Pac and Margarito.

    Put non stop pressure on him and he looks average.

    Castillo,Cotto and Maidana did it and he had trouble with all of them.

    And his ******ed fans think he would beat the likes of Duran, Armstrong and Chavez.

    Pathetic bunch.

    Pacquiao is not a pressure fighter. He is an active boxer-puncher that in his current state will get outboxed by Floyd imao.

    *****'s will still be thinking Floyd would school Armstrong, JCC and Duran in a fantasy match up. Floyd has shown all through his career that he doesn't like pressure and aggression delivered at a high work rate. Floyd was, is and probably always will be overrated.

    Problem for Floyd Mayweather is that he's held at an extremely high standard. If he even slips a little (like yesterday) people will tear him to pieces.

    Floyd once again hit his opponent with multiple clean shots, and yet had little to no effect to them. His power is non existent, as such he can't be skilled. To be skilled in boxing you need to have 'some' power as that is one of the requisite skills to BE a good or even elite boxer. IMO anyway.

    years ago speedkills was MY screen name. lost the p/w and had to create a new one but wouldn't let me use speedkills. I thought because I already had one, I guess its cause some dude stole it

    Right.. So Floyd is not good or elite because he does not have one of the requisite skills to be at that level. He's done alright for himself then, hasn't he?

    Honestly, some of the **** on here is hilarious,

    Hah yeah it is hilarious that someone with no power is thought of as "The Best Ever". That my friend is truly hilarious.

    Floyd is an exception to the rule, he has managed to dance weave and potshot his way to an unbeaten record, he is the exception.
    Look at all the greats of the past or even most current champions, most would not get to where they are today if they were feather fisted.

    Furthermore what I was intimating was that to me, for fairly self-explanatory reasons having punching power should be part of the skill set of every boxer, and seeing that Floyd does not posses it, I don't think he is a complete boxer and most definitely not in the way that the greats were ie. to answer the OP I too don't think Floyd is as "skilled" as most people think as he is lacking a fairly crucial component.
