Mayweather is an AVERAGE offensive fighter...

Welcome back, where you been?

 

What constitutes a great offensive fighter? Having a great offensive arsenal, which he clearly has? Or being offensively oriented style-wise, which he clearly isn't?:conf

 

Not sure, but landing close to 50% of your punches should put you on the better side of average.

lmao

 

couldn't agree more. i honestly believ (most on esb) don't have the slightest clue how to break down fighters strengths and weaknesses. Floyds offense is truly FKN awesome, way way way better than paqs. he uses it totally different. he is a counter puncher, sharp shooter with def being A#1 which is way he is unbeatable. some of the punches he throws are fkn insane and other top fighters couldn't even attempt them.. esb is getting real real bad

 

I would take efficiency over volume any day. P

The fact that he doesnt have supreme power and still earns his opponents respect is amazing in itself.

His accuracy is what sets him apart. What good is throwing 7 punch combos if only 2 land?

What good is throwing a straight right if you're going to take a straight right, right back?

He obviously has power, he isnt like Paulie if thats what you're saying. hes far from pillow fisted. If he was how the hell would he walk down a younger man with a 15 pound weight advantage.

After that uppercut Canelo took in the 7th round, he was afraid to throw back. Watch the replay.

I can admit he had better power at lighter weight classes, but that happens with everyone.

He would have great power if he fought at 140. He has good power at 147. and enough power at 154.

he's the total package man.

The precision. The efficiency. The versatility, makes his offensive game beautiful. He can throw every punch, perfectly timed, perfectly placed, and extremely effective.

Don't you love when someone has never been in the ring says **** like, "he can't punch for ****"? He was rocking the hell out of Canelo all night long. I'd like to see a day after photo of Canelo. No fighter wants to get beat up like that.

 

Floyd's got a pretty deep arsenal of go-to punches, and when he elects to throw in combination a good portion of those punches find their mark (see Victor Ortiz, early Round 4 and Robert Guerrero Round 7) .

He doesn't throw in combination all that often, though and tends to stay with the go-to punch for as long as it's available. But, in those instances where a fighter finds a way to nullify that (Cotto taking away to looping, wraparound right), FMJ can usually figure out an equally viable alternative, like the left uppercut used in the Cotto fight.

His offensive ability is well above average. It's the way that he employs it that gives the illusion of it being less effective and multi-faceted than it really is.

 

Even looking at Floyd's fight at lower weight his best of
offensive performance is against a scrub that is Gatti.

 

Post of the day!

 

Funny, I didn't see Canelo buckle one time.

Fact is Floyd is a defensive fighter, he wins fights based on his defense. He's landing at 50% because he is fighting Tomatoe cans which is this era of boxing. Put him back in the 90s and guarentee you that average falls by 10-15% and sees the canvas more than once and isn't undefeated.

A great offensive fighter was Roy Jones.

 

no sh!t ******. this era is tomato cans galore
