    HAHAHA, Floyd one punch at a time, don't see much body work, no hurting punches let alone has any power, no combo's. Come on!

    Let's see Manny take his offense to 154 since it's so much better.

    Floyd's a terrific offensive fighter, just not a one-punch KO artist.

    This and the fact that he sets his punches up with such precision.

    Ex. He kept stabbing ODLH to the body and as soon as Oscar dropped those hands he hit him with that right cross.

    Ex. Stepping to his left and back, drawing Ricky in for that check hook.

    Ex. Repeated touch jabs to Canelo to set up that straight right.

    Floyd just doesn't throw punches to throw them. There is a purpose to everything he does in the ring.

    here is my take, at the lower weights mayweather was a beast. his performances against fighters like manfredy, corrales and gatti were awesome! that was the mayweather i liked to see. this mayweather now is defensively superior and makes his opponents look like crap but he has no power and he does not beat up his opponents per se, he does just enough to cruise to victory. in my opinion that makes him a boring offensive fighter.

    And he's not a 1000000 punch KO artist either :lol:
    He just isnt an offensive artist period. His power is non existent, which amazes me he sells fights. I do believe 70% of the buys are hoping to see him get defeated.

    Well, this is true, in terms of volume/combination punching. In terms of accuracy, very few in history are in his class.
