    Lets discuss.

    Why aren't more Mayweather opponents patient enough to let him be the aggressor and allow him make the mistakes?

    Judah's strategy was to allow Mayweather to be the aggressor. It worked for a couple of rounds.

    The combination of his hand speed and his shoulder roll . . .

    when you are the champ, you just sit back and relax. they have to come to you and prove that. there is a high chance that even if rounds are even they will give it to the champ or the better known person.

    And if the current fmj is the aggressor, i;m sure we all be sleeping... the past fmj will push the actions

    I often wonder the same thing. My feeling is they all feel some kinda pressure to entertain, which is pretty stupid.

    And actually, he doesnt fight many counterpunchers. Mostly come forward guys.

    very fast jab that stings and make you open. He also applies a steady pressure with his showder roll

    1. He's faster than them, (ridiculous to let a faster guy get off first)
    2. He has the ability to counter their counters
    3. He is an educated pressure fighter (when he needs to be)

    That's exactly what Canelo will do.

    Because you can't beat him this way. Most guys if any can't out box Floyd.

    I guarantee he will be more of the aggressor this fight as he knows the close rounds will for sure go to Canelo

    I would also add he's not fighting defensive counter punchers who would force him to become more aggressive. People laugh at me but I think Cory Spinks would have given PBF fits back in his day.

    Because he doesn't make any? ...and because if you stand there gawking at him you'll be choking on accurate right hand leads in no time?
