Who can beat a prime Mayweather Jr.

That was the best version of Floyd.

It's beautiful, the power, the footwork. I should go back and watch all of Ray's fights again. Modern boxing has been pretty boring lately. Though the Pac/Thurman fight was decent. I've got a bunch of Duran fights I never watched.

 

Holy ****, dude. You need mental help. I am serious. I'm not trying to be rude to you. How the **** do you type this same thing every time like it's the first time?

 

not a single body punch in this video. Obviously, his body punching was atrocious, horrible, incredibly bad. He wouldn last **** vs a modern fighter punching the body like that.

 

If Floyd fights defense only he might survive. Benitez was terrified of Hearns' power and did nothing but slip punches. He couldn't get anything going but made Hearns miss like crazy. I could see something similar and Floyd losing a wide UD. But then again, lesser guys have hit Floyd.

 

You cannot beat the truth my friend Always speak the truth

Go to minute 2:10, and try to do that in a modern fight. Let's see what happens. He's OOOOPPEEEEEN. Like a hoe.

And you could say, "hey, that's only one time, his oponent was tired... whatever". No, I dont know how many times I have watched him fighting, he does like that all-the-time. Robinson punching the body hurts my eyes.

Slow motion.

min 17:02. Watch the following 10 or 20 seconds of body punching.

Old boxing, archaic. You will only watch bums doing like that nowadays.

He's the #1 p4p, no doubt. But it has nothing to do with it. Boxing has changed too much.

EDIT: even more. Press pause in 17:02, and observe, look for the openings. He's a BIG opening, as a whole. In modern fighting you cannot do that, that's inadmissible.

 

That was pretty funny.

 

Margo was suspended and his trainer admitted guilt just like you did under cj rock.

 

margo couldnt hit for **** after the plaster stuff. That's what proves that he was cheating, imho. It's not normal. Power does not dissapear with age, ask foreman. One day you are about to kill cotto in the ring, and the day after you cant punch for ****? really? I dont buy it.

 

You mean the part where Robinson unleashes an eight punch combination to the body of his opponent? You thought that part sucked? It's called a flurry. You can see Ike Williams and Benny Parret doing it back then, beating on their opponent's ribs like a drum; but you could see Manny Pacquiao giving Tim Bradley a ten punch flurry in one of their fights. Pac gave Morales similar treatment in 3 I think.

I'm looking at footage from a lot of flurries. The common denominators seem to be tired opponents and quick hands. I'm seeing Leonard, Camacho, Tyson, Ali, Jones Jr, Khan, Hamed, all doing them, though they mix them up more body head.

I'm also thinking Naz and Jones Jr aren't the best examples of boxing technique improving since they don't seem to do anything right but still have phenomenal success. Them and Ali are pretty much the poster children for the argument that if you have the speed and power you can do whatever you want in any era of history.

 

Look at the other example. There are plenty. This flurry is kind of admissible, de la hoya used them a lot too (I hated when he did it, btw). But the other example is clearer.

 

Most of those guys are naturally bigger than him. Even still id give him a good shot to beat everyone of them with the exception of hearns. He also beat canelo and oscar so i dont know why you mentioned them.

 

I don't know man. I see a guy who knows he's got his opponent just about out of there and is teeing off on him. He's not being super technical, but then he doesn't need to be. Most guys don't look textbook when they are teeing off on defenseless targets.
