It's harder to box like Mayweather then be a brawler.

    Bull****.

    It's much harder to take risks and go forward than it is to go backwards.

    That's why when Mayweather attacks, he gets hits a lot. This is why he fights like a scared ass bltch.

    You can't tell me it's easier to fight like Pacquaio than it is to fight like Mayweather.

    You don't know **** about boxing.

    A lot of people could box like a ***** if they wanted to. Maybe not on the level of Mayweather, but it's easier to stink a fight out then take risks and win.

    The thing is, you have to have the physical assets to do this.

    Mayweather often relies on his long reach as well as his upper body movement and foot movement.

    If he fought a guy like Hearns, what his strategy be????

    My opinion? Boxing is hard, period. I don't care what style you use. Just use what is best for your physical attributes and athletic ability. Honestly, I wouldn't claim any style isn't as hard as the other. Boxing, in general, is one of the hardest sports there is IMO.

    It is a physical and mentally demanding sport. It drains you in both ways.

    If someone punches you, or slaps you extremely hard, your natural instinct is to punch the guy right back.

    If you guys have never been in a fight, then you would not know this aspect.

    Floyd controls his anger extremely well.

    You can punch him as hard as you can, but he will still not get angry.

    It's harder to do that then go with your natural inclination and be an aggressor
    It takes a wise man to control his emotions.

    promoted by vegas judges. boxing is a balance of offense and defense. the ultimate goal in prize fighting is to dominate which is unquestionable when achieved by KO. pot shotting to win on points is for the amateurs.

    It's hard to say what's hardest, because each fighter has attributes that make a certain style suit them best.

    If you happen to be extremely quick and have ridiculously long arms, brittle hands, and no testicles, then the Mayweather style is probably one of the easiest once you get it drilled into muscle memory and select opponents who suit it perfectly.

    Maidana was pretty emotionless so maybe that helped him do well against Mayweather...
