    “I don’t ever go into a fight with a game plan” - Mayweather

    No gameplan going into the fight. It's part ego and part stupidity.

    During the actual fight, he didn't seem very intelligent either. Always had his back against the ropes and just shelled up.

    I think all good boxing trainers will tell you the same thing...stay off the ropes. Evidently, Floyd wasn't listening.

    Between Cotto and Maidana, its obvious now what the blue print is to beat Floyd. I'm not saying its anything less than HARD, its just obvious. You gotta put him against the ropes, you gotta be patient, and throw punches in bunches. Don't get gassed out, don't let him stand in the middle of the ring.

    We saw in the Canelo fight, he made the devestating mistake of trying to catch Floyd in the middle of the ring. Not a chance! You got to get him against the ropes where he is most vulnerable.

    It's kind of like trying to beat Tyson in NES Punch out, its really hard but doable.

    Intelligent? Have you ever seen some of his interviews? The man makes a fool of himself.

    Read the letter he wrote in jail. He cannot even write as good as an eight grader. Cringeful.

    He's a smartass, not an intelligent man.

    When you're better than everyone you fight, and have the ability to adapt in ring, why exactly do you need a game plan?

    If you're inferior to the guy opposite, then you need a gameplan to try to beat the guy.

    I wouldn't care if he was dumb as a rock. I don't care if that's how you view every last boxer on earth either. You're entitled to your warped opinion. But if you're going to say something like this, at least have your facts straight.

    It's 4am, and you must be a Pac fan anyway lmao.:lol: Are you in the UK, the Phillipines or west coast America.:rofl
