    He was what most like to say,"All heart, no chin."

    RIP Chico!

    :patsch

    you dont need a PW-esque punch output when you consistently land over 50% of your punches while at the same time reducing your opponent to landing around 20%

    100% of 20 punches is still 20 punches.

    1. That's what I figured.

    2. Which boxing performance was better from this generation? It was an absolutely comprehensive performance on Mayweather's part.

    So facing no adversity and just pot shotting a guy following you around the ring makes the best performance in a boxing era?

    Woo ****ing hoo.
    You guys have a blast watching those exhibitions.

    Why not just go watch him punch a speed bag for 36 minutes? Drive to his gym, give him 55$ and watch him jump rope.

    You didn't even see the fight. It shows more and more and makes having a discussion with you on the matter pointless.

    if you can win throwing 20 punches than you must be one hell of a boxer. point is punch output isnt everything. floyd doesnt need to go in there throwing hundreds of punches a round to win a fight. you're point about his offensive output being low has no bearing on anything whatsoever.

    Well, I don't consider a man who isn't in the ring to fight as an amazing boxer.

    I think floyd is extremely talented, his defense is the best I have ever witnessed. I however think he lacks a meaningful fight to define him.
    His corrales win was good, but there were weight issues and mental problems with diego corrales.
    I think floyd's best performance was actually his 2nd castillo fight.

    so i guess he's just in there baking cookies and not throwing/evading punches (fighting). I guess we just disagree on what makes a fighter an amazing boxer. I thought boxing was the art of hitting without getting hit, something floyd excels at but what do I know.

    However, i do agree with the majority of the second part of your post. I think floyd is a tremendous boxer with all the gifts you could ask for as a fighter except when it comes to heart. If he really gave a **** about his legacy and his fans (which i'm not so sure he does) he would take on the best available opponent at all times. This is why i really wish he takes on PW or waits for the mosley/berto winner....but this doesnt seem too likely.

    His punch output against Chico wasn't embarrasing. I can tell you just started watching PBF when he got to 147 you haven't even seen PBF-Chico or any of his fights at 130.:lol::rofl:lol:

    Hitting without getting hit.

    Not running around the ring not getting hit.
