    Would u agree or disagree with this statement?

    Obviouslly at 130/135 he was a brilliant offensive fighter while in his physical peal

    But since those days, he is an average offensive fighter... Very little power, no combos,moslty 1 punch at a time, he is quick tho...

    AVERAGE OFFENSE....

    I strongly disagree. If his offense is average, then your typical fighter would employ an offense that is as effective as Floyd's. This of course is not the case.

    not even average, his offense is pure ****, he has a quick jab and that's about it, pillow hands, no power punches, no nothing.

    i don't think you can argue with that.

    he's smart about what punches he throws, but he does do the bare minimum when it comes to offence.
    it would be nice to see him throw a lot more punches because he has the skill level to do it. but he's just a really cautious person.

    i do like watching him most of the time though.

    His accuracy
    His timing

    Is well above average... Possibly the best currently.

    It makes his offence way more than just 'average'...

    Very efficient fighter.

    I totally totally totally disagree. Infact, I think he's the best Offensive fighter in the game. He's just not offensive minded. Still, you cant assume guys are better Offensive fighters strictly because they are all Offense and take punches.

    Name one fighter in boxing who has more Offensive versatility than Floyd? Name one other fighter in boxing who can literally throw every punch there is. No one is great in the pocket, has a great jab, has a jab to the body, has a great straight right, a straight right to the body, uppercuts, pull counters, left hooks, leapping left hooks, right hand from a million different angles, and so on. There is no other guy in boxing who has all of that. How is he average?

    There is no one in boxing whose Offense Id rather have over Floyd. Not anyone. Now you can say that you want him to be more Offensive minded but that doesnt mean he has an average Offense. To the contrary he has a complete Offense with no weakness. Not a single one. Underrated power included and snap on his jab. Can punch at very close range where some guys need distance. Accuracy, timing, you name it he's got it

    I can tell by your name you don't know shi.t about boxing.:rasta

    Mayweather's jab to the body is the best punch in the sport.
    It is unstoppable..
    It destroys gameplans....disrupts rhythm....and empties gas tanks.

    It's like Vince Lombardi's screen play...you know it's coming but you can't do anything about it.

    It's rare to see a fighter dominate the sport for so long with a JAB...:deal

    LULZ. A guy who lands nearly half of all his punches is average.

    That went right over the heads of 90% of the fools around here.

    You might as well go to the zoo and say that to the monkeys.
