    Pacqiauo isn't physically imposing like those two were so he wont be pushing outmuscling Floyd.

    Maidana was bigger than Floyd and definitely much bigger than Pacqiauo on fight night.

    There has been on several occasion ! Even larry merchant Floyd biggest critic has stated that Floyd rarely gains more the 3 to five pounds after weigh in.. Which makes sense, floyd is a boxer and a mover, what would be the advantage of caring that much weight, this would only hinder his style .

    He does, but hence the word "holding" why i stated he was bullied, and he was indeed at times being held on the ropes against DLH, Castillo, and Cotto.

    No I don't think floyd will stand in front of pac to hit him ,, but he will need to pay close attention to him .

    I definitely Dont say he has no chance. He does have speed, and 38 ko's so it is absolutely possible he catches May. I just don't see it happening he has shown the ability to recover very quickly the only 2 times i can recalll him being hurt. My biggest thing is I dont think he possesses the attributes to give May any sustained trouble, meaning he can win in anyother way but that 1 punch that puts him in trouble.

    By not standing in front of Pacqiauo, Floyd greatly diminishes Pacqiauos chance of landing anything let alone winning the fight.

    i jst saw it again on another post. someone predictating a Pac KO. And he specifically said based on the Maidana fight. Why would you base Pac's ability to perform based on what Maidana was able to do... tsk tsk tsk.

    And Pac is fast, I admit, possibly faster than Floyd, but that's arguable. It's like people keep forgetting..... Floyd is fast too, haha

    So Floyd is versatile because he threw more than 1 right hand at a time once vs Cotto and he switched to southpaw 11 years ago?

    Thanks for proving my point.

    I did prove a point there.. That a subtle adjustment was made, and you couldnt pick it out, meaning there's no point in really talking to you cause this stuff is over your head.

    Throwing 4 right hands, as if that's an odd punch for Floyd to thrown, in a row once rather than 1 is not versatility.

    You prove my point. Floyd being versatile is a truism with *****s. When asked for examples they can't give any good ones.

    I'll give you the truth. Floyd hasn't shown much of any versatility in over a decade. He has set into s comfortable style and pretty much cherry picks guys who fit what he likes to do in the ring.

    adjustment: noun: a small alteration or movement made to achieve a desired fit, appearance, or result.

    thought i'd post the definiton of the word adjustment for you to view. so you can as that one song says.... "get on my level"

    And i gave you a great example. you just either dont choose to see it, or cant. either way. you are unworthy of anymore of my time.

    And that has to do with versatility how? Adjustment would be antithetical to versatility. Adjustments are small things you do within your system to make your system work. Versatility is changing to another system.

    A football team that can both run and throw the ball is versatile. A football team that makes small adjustments to its passing game to get it to work is not versatile. They are still just a passing team.

    And you are right you did give me a great example. Your examples were great for proving that Floyd isn't versatile. He is who he is.

    I see you know some big words. good for you. Now, can you correlate those into boxing terms and how that would help inside the squared circle? See no fighter would be versatile if using your definitions of the aforementioned words. As no fighter fights in a completely different style. It is there ability to (adjust) that style at any given moment within a fight that determines the one's that are "considered" versatile or not. Floyd Mayweather for all intents and purposes would be considered the most out of most boxers today, if you look at his body of work over the past decade, ie. MaidanaI/Cotto/Hatton, he stayed in the pocket for a majority of the bout, whereas Canelo/Guerrero/MaidanaII/ Ortiz, he chose to use more of the ring, keep it in the center of the ring as much as possible. But those would be the "styles" that he chose to fight those matches in. But in my first post that you were responding to, that i sent you the examples about was clearly about his ability to make adjustments, hence the reason I chose to send you the definition of the word adjustments.

    Now, you have displayed the ability to use big words, now read this, and let's test your reading comprehension.

    So we are back to the original point. He either uses his cross guard and shoulder roles or he uses his high guard more and pressures.

    I suppose have approaches is impressive but it's not unique or most versatile ever.
