    Not his punching power cause his T/KO at best average.
    Accuracy is good
    Offensive arsenal is nothing spectacular..
    Reflexes are top notch in a league of his own.

    Reflex has to be on top, when he flap those wings they have to stretch nicely and fast. Don't forget those drums also, it's very important for moving him around the ring with ease.

    YDKSAB dude.

    He threw his right hand over a dozen different ways on Saturday. He's a safety first fighter. He's not trying to knock your head off and only because Guerrero has a good beard that he was standing. That right hook that Floyd threw at the end of round 8, the two pitter-patter jabs then the roundhouse right hook knocked the crap out of Robert. However, Floyd doesn't go for the kill. However, I think he will make an example out of Canelo when they fight.

    Accuracy is not "good" its AMAZING!!!
    Reflexes are very very good.
    His boxing knowledge is amazing(has every part of boxing covered), but one thing thats the most important is his RING IQ cause you can have everything but if you dont have ring IQ you can not implement it like he does!!!:thumbsup

    His #1 attribute is his boxing skill. Not his reflexes.

    His accuracy is excellent, he almost never misses.

    His offensive arsenal is superb, the point of an offense is to SCORE, not to throw a bunch of flashy crap that doesnt hit the opponent, gases you out and opens you up to being timed and countered.

    His reflexes are the best in the sport of boxing.

    The only reason he didn't knock out Guerrero is because he hurt his right hand. Check the post-fight tapes and statements.

    I agree that his reflexes are his best attribute, but he's also one of the three best technical boxers out there and he has incredible accuracy. His speed is waning (as are his reflexes), but I doubt that will affect him a badly as, say, Roy Jones. He's really really smart in the ring and makes adjustments as good as anyone not named Ward or Hopkins, and I think that's an attribute that gets really underrated. He'll use those smarts to compensate for losses in the physical department.

    I've always considered him the missing link, between Hopkins and Jones.

    Mayweather's computer-like brain is his best weapon (as compared to say,his fragile fists) and his constant usage of it in the ring is his best attribute.Thinkin' man's fighter.

    He makes adjustments during fights and can fight the next round in a completely different style, rhythm and even ****ing defense.. Most fighters fight one way all fight. It is really amazing to watch and almost unreal. No Dick rider.

    TS is wrong. His reflexes are good but far down the list. The difference between him and a guy like RJ is that Floyd is the most fundemenatlly sound fighter in the game. Even with his reflexes slipping, he is and will still be great because his fundementals, technique, brain, and defense.

    His #1 attribute is his brain. His 2nd is his defense.

    You also severly underrate his Offense. He's literally the only guy in boxing who can throw every single punch. No one has the punch reptoire that he has. No one has a straight right, a step back right, sweeping right, straight right to the body, right hook, left hook, check hook, uppercuts, snapping jab, pull counter, leaping hook, etc.....

    He's the only guy that routinely throws all those punches and he can do it from different angles. Thats why people say he's the best ever. No flaws and is one of the most complete if not thee most complete fighter ever.
