Mayweather with GGG power

Floyd's power (or lack of) has never been the problem. It was his unwillingness to commit. Next thread, FLoyd with GGG balls.

 

Audley Harrison with David Prices stamina.

 

Bollocks.

He's got neither of those.

He's a very skilled boxer with heavy hands, but he doesn't have Maywether's skills nor GGG's power.

 

Now you're talking somebody like SRL.

Just as skilled as Floyd.

Faster.

And with close to Gennady's power.

 

LMFAO!!! Hes always slurping canelo because he uses it to justify his weak ass resume. Canelo is the only guy hes beaten that has gone on to have a successful career after they fought. The rest were basically old men and C level champs.

 

I hope this was sarcastic. I think Canelo is a good fighter....and has decent power but come on now lol. **** it I'm going with sarcasm although my sarcasm detector seems to be outta batteries atm.

 

And Khan's chin. What a monster!

 

Shadow111 is dead serious. I'm pretty sure this poster is a 12 year old girl with a crush on Saul, that rugged ginger beast.

 

Floyd only endorsed Canelo because he's on his resume. Same way Golovkin fans like to talk up Murray or Lemiuex and Floyd fans try to say that it was a prime Pac who Floyd beat.

Besides, it really wasn't close when they fought each other. Canelo has a good mixture of skills and power, but the skills are not up to Mayweather level, and the power not up to GGG.

 

Mayweather ain't aggressive enough to use GGG s blunt force to its full glory

 

forget GGG even if he had brooks/spence/porter/Thurman/Pac power that would be something

 

No just absolutely no
Send some of that shyte your smoking my way

 

Your getting better at this
Your posting acumen is getting better and better
Still though do not reply

 

Floyd doesn't throw power punches so even if he had GGG power he still wouldn't be just knocking out everybody unless he changed his style but that would also leave him more open to counters. GGG generates so much power because he plods forward with his feet planted and is constantly ready to sit on his punches, he also uses high guard and hand-to-the-chin defense (as in the fundamental 'throw a right hand and keep your left hand on the chin, throw a left hand and keep your right hand on the chin'). If Floyd was doing that his style of technical defense would be out of the window and he'd have to rely on just pure reflexes and chin or learn GGG-style defense basically from scratch. Defending leaning forward like GGG and defending leaning backwards like Floyd are two different things, Floyd might be a master of defense within his set of defensive styles but could he do a Tyson-style bobbing and weaving defense while moving forward and looking for the kill? Philly shell stance isn't optimal for power punching either. It's a style for jab, check hook and counter right punches, which are only powerful if your opponent walks into them. You need to lean back and bounce back a lot of the time which takes power away from punches and if you open up your head is completely exposed.

It's one thing to have power but it's another thing to actually have effective offense and be defensively responsible at the same time. Many fighters had power in their genes but we probably never heard about many of them because they didn't develop proper offensive skills to really use it.

I think people seriously underestimate the technique behind power punchers and think they were just genetically born with some out of this world power. The reason why GGG is so powerful is largely down to his technique although he's obviously genetically blessed as well. Balance plays a huge part, GGG is always perfectly balanced to sit on his punches so whenever even a small opportunity arrives for a split of a second he'll be in a perfect position to throw something powerful, that's why everything he hits other fighters with hurts. In contrast guys like Floyd are always perfectly balanced to do some evasive move or counter in a split of second. You can't just defend like Floyd by having great speed and reflexes either, it's also down to technique.

 

Surely you jest. I used to come on here more often but the 2 job thing and moving to a new apartment has limited it somewhat. So it's hard for me to tell who is serious and who is joking anymore. Gimmie a few weeks and I'll sort myself out.
