Who has the better defnse? Hopkins or Mayweather Jr.

explain yourself please.

 

yeah that's about what i think

 

Whose been hit less?

 

he said 'by a country mile'

and i wouldn't know who got hit less, never counted punches.

 

How is Mayweather physically superior to Corrales???. Mayweather fights the same damn way. He is not Roy...he dont fight off of instincts and natural ability. The guy has every fundamental of boxing down pact especially defense. When you hit him he slides or rolls nullifying the impact and making you fall in off balance. He positions his feet in a way he can ALWAYS slide away thus he hardly gets trapped on the ropes unless he wants to be there. You can put Floyd in slow mo and see about 5 insanely crazy defensive genuis moves in one encounter.

 

physically superiority is perhaps a poor choice of wording, i didn't mean size. He's quicker than his opponents and his reflexes make him so hard to hit, as corrales found out to his peril.

 

...not close...PBF 0 losses...defensive wizaed...hater:hi:

 

please tell me what fights you have seen where he used these differnt styles???

Sweet pea said it best:I see him as more of a crafty spoiler than someone with the technical pedigree (at least defensively) that Mayweather has

 

Floyd would be a great defensive fighter without the reflexes. Seriously. Its not like he just weaves away from punches. He uses his gloves to catch them equally.

 

true, but as he slows he will be hit more as his speed is one of his most significant assets.

 

****ing Great Question

Floyd By a Touch......

They both have the ability to make boxers look ameturish and take them out of their game, missing punches and taking away their energy.

The reason why i went for floyd is because i dont think i have seen a prize fighter in their career get his with suck FEW shots in the lighter weight classes! maybe not as effective offensivly from the defence but certainly near untouchable on his day......... Unless your name is Castillo hahha!

 

For me; Hopkins.

It used to be Mayweather vs. Hopkins. vs. Wright. They kept it pretty even on the forums.

 

Mayweather can stand in your wheelhouse and shoulder roll/parry your shots and fire back at you.
