Why does Floyd Mayweather fail to stop most of his opponents?

You cant compare past 10 fights like that when floyd doesnt fight regular like Pacman

Compare the last 10 years !

 

I dont understand when u mean he should take the risk?? Why?? Your only saying that because your not the one in the ring fighting for your life.

you can put in context what Mayweather does in any sport.

If your winning 17-3 in the 4th quater, your gonna keepo throwing the ball, expect for running the clock to win the game?? Why?? to take a risk at losing??

up 4 in a basketball game with a minute to go. your gonna shoot early in the clock?? Why?? Take a risk??

I can go on and on and on but i wont. if u dont get it now, you'll never will:hi:

 

The OP didnt speak on the last 10 years...he spoke about the last 10 fights so thats what i spoke on...so it is what it is.

 

Well put, S

 

Because boxing is not like other sports. What you do in the ring and the way you do it means a lot. The previous style of mayweather of working his opponent up and down with jabs , crosses and the full arsenal got him wins in better style with KOs.

Not this pot shot sh!t.

Do you think Pac wouldve got the fighter of the damn decade by playing safety first ?

 

Ok apparently you didnt watch the fights...someone else will entertain your questions..:-(

 

Mayweather is not a big puncher and he's a smart fighter. He knows when he can press the attack and get the guy out of there and when he can't. His hand was swollen up pretty bad after the fight which does lend credence to his assertion that his injured hand prevented him from going for the KO

And? Cotto still had several lbs. on Mayweather and they were using 10 oz. gloves instead of the 8 that Mayweather is used to.

Pacquiao and Alvarez both pressed the attack on Mosely and neither guy was able to get him out of there. What more would you have wanted Mayweather to do? Mosley was in survival mode and has an excellent chin.

Again, this goes back to ring IQ. Pacquiao was taking it to Marquez and decided to get wreckless. You saw what happened. That's not who Mayweather is. He's not going to open himself up to getting knocked out to try to stop someone.

How did Ricky have a made to order style for Mayweather? A swarming, pressure style is the most difficult style for a guy like Mayweather. Ricky's style wasn't the issue, his lack of head movement was. And now knocking guys out silly isn't good enough? It has to be done in the early rounds? Ok.

This was another fight where he injured his hand. Why would he take a risk to try to stop a guy when he had an injured hand and when he clearly wasn't hurting the guy? That's just not who he is as a fighter.

No one said it wasn't a top win. The OP was questioning Mayweather's ability to get stoppages in his last 10 fights. The Mitchell fight happened in his last 10 fights and he stopped the guy.

 

I get what you are saying but is winning the most important thing? yes or no.

Also just like manny did something right to get fotd...floyd also did something right to get highest ppv # and salary. #Fact

 

It seems you're trying to insinuate that Pacquiao is the better fighter because he's the bigger puncher. If he's better than Mayweather, then why was he knocked out cold by a guy that Mayweather toyed with?

 

He wouldn't have won it if Mayweather hadn't retired for almost two years. Mayweather is the highest rated, and highest paid fighter in the sport. He also takes little punishment and is still going strong at 36. Why should he change and try to be like guys who are paid less than him, aren't as highly ranked, and are considered further past their prime at younger ages?

 

Well thats why Pac Got KO and Mayweather has never been down. which one do you want to be?? If u say Pac then your a dummy and a liar!!

 

:good:good

 

He's not an arm puncher. At the same time though, he's not going to over commit to his punches. That's how you get countered. Pacquaio will commit fully to his punches. It has gotten him a lot of knockouts, but's also gotten him hurt severl times and even knocked out. As of lately, he's not even getting any stoppages. Mayweather is only going to put a lot in his shots when he's sure the return fire won't get there or won't be fired at all. It's resulted in less stoppages at the higher weight, but he's also taken little punishment and his box office appeal has soared. Mayweather is a highly skilled fighter. His lack of KO's over his past several fights does not change this.
