Is there anything Mayweather cant do

so what is ur point...guys who work harder slow his work rate...no ****? he isn't goin to stand and trade witj MARGO he is gona use his feet and movement>>>and he has never been uncomfortabkle in any style....hence there is nothing he lacks

 

he actually does...that 6.2 mil is not overdue

 

u have 12000 posts and u can't figure out why mayweather jr doesn't always throw alot of combos...lol.....why doesn't margo use his jab more??? his style is to do what it takes to win...whatever he CHOOSES to do

 

He couldn't beat me.

 

floyd can't find the self belief or courage to match his skills against young strong relentlessly determined hungry beasts like Margarito and Cotto. floyd is smart enough to know both Cotto and Margarito would pressure him mercilessly, and force him to dig down deep and force him to fight in a REAL fight. floyd does not know if he can handle such pressure that Cotto and Margarito would bring. Especially when Cotto and Margarito called him out and challenged him, their confidence to fight floyd without question flustered his own confidence. But pre140 floyd was a beautiful fighter, though it would have been interesting to see him with Casamayor.

Since 147, floyd is a well matched, well protected TV fighter. Charles Barkley and Tiger Woods would never walk out in the middle of watching a grand master like Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Robinson, Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Trinidad, etc.

 

And you post on a boxing forum and you can't even show signs of reading comprehension

I know WHY Mayweather does what he does. I was arguing the claim that Mayweather suddenly decides not to throw combinations. That is certainly not true, he does it when he feels his opponent is big and strong and he does not want to engage. That is all well and fine, but his opponent forced him to do that. Why does he fight aggressively against Gatti and potshot more vs. Baldomir? Simple answer - different opponents.

 

i mean if you look at his last 4 fights

hatton
oscar
zab
baldo

oscar & baldo were the most defensive fights.... and based on oscars performance against paq and just how easy the baldo fights are he EASILY could have been more offensive and still won the fights with no problem... if he was fighting margarito or paul williams or something i would certainly agree with you but floyd hasnt fought someone that would negate one of his fighting techniques.. like if he fough margarito or paul williams he'd have no choice but to go on the defensive... but based on his resume he could do whatever he wants really he's just chosen to go defensive... atleast in my opinion


in writing that I feel like floyd drew A LOT of people to boxing because if you look at floyd mayweathers past 10 opponents only 2 of them were "boring snore fests" like every claims what floyd mayweather is only good for....

 

Yeah, okay. Mayweather decided to fight like that. Okay, so you are telling me Mayweather made the conscious decision to put up a less impressive display than he's capable of? The funny thing is you are actually insulting all parties there. No credit to what his opponents were doing to change his tactics and also that Mayweather provides us with more boring fights than he should.

I simply don't believe Mayweather does not do things he knows are more impressive. Mayweather is a smart man and does what he has to for a W. If his opponent feels strong and forces him to fight in his shell more - he will do it. And credit to him. But let's not act like he just made a choice to randomly fight like that.

The proof is in the pudding. Against a punching bag he brings everything to the party. Against stronger big guys he backs up. It's not a coincidence bro.

 

haha i mean i guess if you put it that way i am discrediting both parties

i think floyd is that much better than his last 4 opponents (well the last 2 he fought defensively against)

and i think floyd DOES NOT CARE HOW HE WINS .. pretty or ugly... he just wants the win...

you also bring up good points..... to tho.. its just my opinion i thikn he is fully aware of what he's doing and makes the choice to fight defensively against baldo (when he could have fought offensively... baldo looked horible against him) and against oscar he also COULD HAVE fought more offensively... he made the decision to fight Defensive for a reason but is DEFINITELY capable of fighting offensively if he truly wanted to

 

Maybe he could, its just a stretch for me for the reason he always does it against bigger stronger men. That tells me those qualities are forcing Mayweather into fighting that gameplan rather than making a choice.

I would probably hear what you were saying more if this was a random sort of occurence that just happened inexplicably against any opponent. But it doesn't seem like to to me. If there was a graph with combinations and aggressive quality on one axis and weight on the other I think you'd see a negative correlation there.

None of this means he can't throw combinations or be aggressive - mind. Of course he can, he's done it. I just give credit that he can be forced into something different and still have the adaptability to win.

 

TFFP and Walk, you're both correct. The larger opponents are forcing PBF to choose which strategy to use.

 

yeah it was easy to beat hatton and odlh...how is margo so good again??? what is a real fight>>> was the gatti and corralles and second jlc and chavez and famoso (won with a broken hand) these were fake fights,,,how bout margo musters up the ability to avenge a loss

 

Technically I don't think you can force a fighter to choose a strategy. By definition, if you are forced into something you are incapable of doing something else and have no choice.

But I won't be picky, welcome back

 

Thanks, great to be reading your and many other posts again. Can't express how much I've missed all this.

But PBF say against Baldo probably did have the choice. Choice A: Go for the exciting take down and risk breaking his hands on that stone head of his, or Choice B: Cruise around pot shotting and barely break a sweat and win any way.

 

my bad ...i didn't think u would ask why...sorry
