People forget Mayweather was walking down cotto/mosley

Let it go man. Floyd regularly lands flush, nothing happens.He has not knocked nobody out for how long...:roll:

Floyd is a master boxer and tactician. He needs to stick to what brought him to this point.

 

Wow, really? I guess you haven't watched Mayweather fight much.

Is that walking down to you? Lolzzzz Shane just stop punching!! probably paid by Al Haymon to mellow it down after 2nd round.. Lolzzzz

 

I'm no fan of Floyds but when he fights offensively it's incredible.

 

Let what go?, have you read and comprehended what I typed to ask me to "let it go". I know he lands flush but he never commits to scoring stoppages or KOs. Mayweather lands to score points and that's it. Even if he stuns/hurts an opponent, he could care less and would continue to outbox his opponent rather than go full-out aggressive which is not his style.

 

No, I always do!!! Fatigue absolutely was the game-plan. Floyd even said it was! Same with Judah when he got fatigued. I'm not discrediting Floyd, because it was Floyd's PLAN to fatigue him. He said before the fight that Judah's stamina sucked and he exposed that.

Same with Maidana after the first round. Floyd popped a squat in his corner, looked up at his dad and said, "Let him get tired." And started smirking.

So, I completely agree with you. It's the physical demoralization (the body shots, the "he's touching me, I can't touch him) and the emotional demoralization (He's making a fool out of me, I couldn't touch him when I had energy and now I have no energy and no chance at hitting him, no hope) that allows him to walk opponents down in the later rounds.

It his game-plan to fatigue opponents, 100%. He's done it over and over again successfully. I was saying I don't think it is necessarily his power that caused him to walk down opponents but the physical and emotional demoralization as the fight goes on- that Floyd causes- which eventually leads to the opponent being exhausted and done for.

I always give Floyd his credit. He's the best, I must confess, all the rest, there's no contest!

 

You guys should let Mayweather punch you in the face then tell us how it feels. Featherfisted or not, getting punched in the face for 36 minutes hurts.

 

I'm interesting in seeing how well Mayweather lands on Pacquiao. Because averaging like 5 of their fights that range all the way back to 2009, Pacquiao's opponents drop their landing percent to around 25% and for Floyd around 20%.

So, I think we're going to see a drop in both of their landing percentages. Pacquiao's harder to hit than people give him credit for, especially considering how offensive he is.

 

Both Cotto and Mosley have been walked down by others, not just Floyd.

Walking down Pac isn't the recipe for success.

 

Pacquiao is human, and if you sting him, he will back off like any other human. Pac isn't the Superman some people are making him out to be. Pac isn't made out of steel. If Pac continues to swing, after being caught, he's going to get knocked out. Lack of respect will just get him KO'd.

Pac will get broken down to the body in this fight as well. Bank on it. Body shots are going to suck the life out of him, then everybody will cry that he's shot because he looks tired.


Honestly, anybody who thinks Mayweather doesn't have the power to hurt Pacquiao shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

Cutting off the ring and moving forward to engage is in fact, walking down an opponent down.

What do you call walking down an opponent if not that?

 

I've wondered the same. Mayweather's "struggles" against Cotto reflected in compubox, I think his percentage dropped from his usual 40-50% connect to 25% or so.

Against Pac, I think it'll be in the mid 20's if he's very selective with his shots.

 

I'm just basing my views of past observations. If Pacquiao refused to back off from Cotto, Marquez, and Margarito (minus 3rd round when his rib was broke) then Pac will keep coming. It's not that he's made of steel, he just has a lot of heart and will to win. You said if he keeps coming after getting caught then he'll get KO'ed, well yeah. You prove my point that he keeps coming because that's exactly what happened in the 4th fight with Marquez. And thing is, though Mayweather's power is underrated, I don't think its enough to knock Pac out when he keeps coming.

 

Lolzzzz
