    Mayweather was incredible that night. Literally punch perfect.

    Agreed - but when he did use it against Margarito, it was very useful weapon.

    james toney one of the coldest to lace up the glows. if you can fight like him you can beat anyone. all those other styles are to flawed, reckless and wild. young boxers should watch james toney dummies.

    I like Floyd's style. It's because of this that I am a reluctant fan of Adrian Broner. :-(

    Broner is kind of a bootleg, more aggressive version of older Floyd. Broner does the high shoulder guard and tries to walk his opponent down and take them apart in close range with those wide counter hooks and short uppercuts like what he did to DeMarco. He's pretty flat-footed and doesn't use as much lateral movement or the jab and straight right as much as Floyd does.

    From a stylistic standpoint, I actually find Broner more fan-friendly because he's more aggressive and has a higher workrate, but he's not as skilled or as versatile a boxer as Floyd was and is. Broner looks like more of an infighter by choice than Floyd, who can infight when he has to (though that isn't his first choice in most situations.)

    I guess the point of what I'm saying is, if you're a fan of Floyd, you don't necessarily have to be a fan of Broner, especially if you don't like him; it's not like they're clones or anything. :good

    To be honest I love the Mexican style of boxing.

    'I'm gonna hit you, you are gonna hit me, let's see who's left standing'

    They ****ing love to fight and I love watching it. Still very skillful but always wanting to better what an opponent lands. It's ****ing bliss!
