Is Mayweather the best boxer ever at picking off punches? (video)

deep Bob and weavers like Frazier, Tyson, maybe even Hatton, are always going to stray below the belt line in their natural attack motions, too, its something some styles just have assimilated.

 

Although he went a bit too far when he pulled on the opponent's shorts, as I think he did against Nelson.

 

Some fighters used to hit defences so hard people would get out of range to spare there arms and shoulders eg marcanio. Floyd's got the lot, however I do think he has picked his oppentents to carefully over the past 5 years for it not to flatter him.

I wanted him to fight Paul Williams more than Pac man, due to style. I do not rated Williams however it would have been a good clue if Floyd could handle big welterweights who are not old.

Ortiz I feel is just to wild when compared to Mayweather. If Ortiz attacks Floyds defences rather than just trying to get inside. We might get a better clue on Floyd's full abilities. I still feel a Sugar Ray Leonard or Hearns would be able to hit him and knock him out.

Floyd has really fought slow fighters who have learnt their level for the past five years. This might be a shock to his system. If he fought Khan we would learn a lot more about whether he measures up to Whitaker etc.
