    Whenever he is about to pull the trigger on his right hand. Its impossible for the opponent to read it though, and its so fast that you aren't going to be able to read it even if you knew because the right hand is coming right behind it as soon as he does it.

    My brother brought it to my attention while watching the Guerrero fight and said he has known about it for many yrs. I'm wondering if anyone else knows what it is. When he showed it to me it never failed Mayweather did this one thing before he threw the right hand.

    Anyone else know? Is it common knowledge that i'm just stumbling on?

    He also gives off a small signal when he is about to duck someone.

    He shits himself and loses the urge.
    like i said before

    Two things I noticed, one is he cocks his right foot and arches his back ready to pivot off of it, and brings his right glove up right before he shoots it out.

    There are so many other things going on with his upper body and left hand that it's virtually impossible to exploit.

    yeah it's when he pushes his right arm forward, in a straight manner towards the opponent which will eventually land on the face of the opponent.

    That's the big one , and you can often read when he's getting ready to lunge forward and throw it.

    You hit the nail on the head. And it never fails. He cocks his right foot every time.

    He throws it when he knows his opponent won't be ready

    So always be ready...

    All these slow mofo's with lesser footwork ain't gonna stand a chance. especially a slow southpaw like Guerrero.

    He'll often use the same movement as a feint, though. By midrounds, opponents don't know if he's going throw it and where he's going to throw it.

    Guerrero likely saw the same things and had him timed the first couple of rounds, and then Floyd used Robert's own timing against him and completely befuddled him.

    He's one of the smartest fighters that I have ever seen.

    In the Guerrero fight he also tapped Roberts Jab hand a couple of times before he through the right hand.

    Great! Now, I do expect at least some sort of cookie. A proper cookie.

    This is true. He also switched it up well to the body.

    Guerrero did well following up with combos to the body, but Floyd made him far too tentative to continue doing so after that.
