What i meant is that stamina and power are not the most important part of floyd's boxing. You can make a point about speed, but I dont agree. His boxing is not relying on speed either. His boxing relies on "know how", "technique" and "iq". He can see the boxing from inside the ring better than most boxing experts sitting on their sofa, he has proved that a lot of times. And there is not an enhancing drug for that. Sure he can be cheating, I dont trust anyone nowadays, everybody can be cheating but it would be silly to do that. Manny is by far more ped suspicious than floyd, and still if it's not proved, for me he isn't a cheater.
Was the corrales fight an outstanding physical performance? the casitillo's? the hatton's? which one? when have you said "oh, god! his physical shape is so good I can't believe it!!" whatching a floyd's fight? I can tell you that I can't still believe the pacman vs margarito and pacman vs clottey display of physical conditions. It was like "wtf! holly s....!" When have you seen floyd doing something like that?.
Lol that's what you think it is an outstanding display of physical conditions? wtf! gatti was stopped in 6th, what are you talking about? Edit: how do you call then to throw 1200 punches in a fight and still be in the 12th round like if you were in the 5th round? alien boxing?
Oh so Mayweather didn't display outstanding physical conditions in the fight? He was blistering fast and viciously broke Gatti down with combinations.
oh yet you're amazed by Pacquiaos performance against clottey? he missed or was blocked on 1000 punches
So? Yet he threw 1250 punches and in 12th he had still power, snap and energy enough for a really good footwork. That's not something you can see everyday.
That actually is quite outstanding how someone can miss so many punches. I don't know many other fighters who could pull that off. :think you're right!
Here you are the numbers. That's an outstanding physical performance, and not mayweather vs gatti. Pacquiao total 246 / 1231 20% jabs 14 / 549 3% power 232 / 682 34% Clottey total 108 / 399 27% jabs 26 / 162 16% power 82 / 237 35% Edit: and the most impresive thing, he could have gone to make some roadwork after the fight and nothing would have happened.
Listen bud you're not going to convince me that missing 1000 out of 1230 punches is an outstanding performance. I don't care if he threw 2000 they weren't landed! The fight was widely considered a dud. The performances I named are much more impressive and have Mayweather landing closer to %50 while stile throwing combinations in volume with blazing speed. I wont continue to argue over the idea that missing punches is outstanding, sorry. Because if Pacquiao had missed another 500 you'd be telling me it was even more impressive. :rofl :deal
outstanding PHYSICAL performance, not outstanding performance. Due to my ****ty english we are not talking about the same thing, sorry.
Then we'll have to agree to disagree because I'm not impressed by missed punches. In fact I believe it's actually quite unimpressive.
atsch ok, let's leave it and move on. I'm not able to explain my point. I apologize again for my english. Yes you are right, 3% accuracy in jabs and 20% accuracy in total punches is not an outstanding performance, we agree on that.
Is it really hard for people to believe that boxing would go to any lengths to protect their ultimate cash cow????? IMO Floyd and Pac are very much so protected. With that being said anything and everything is possible. They already fooled the public with that BS mega fight. The hype was that Pac really had a chance at winning and that to me is what really sold the fight. But behind closed doors Pac already lost fights in his career so losing again is not a big deal. Floyd gets to keep his unbeaten record and life goes on. The shoulder injury is more propaganda to fuel a rematch. This TUE issue is more propaganda. Pac will take a year off and Floyd will fight an easy fight in September and they will meet again in May. Floyd's last fight will be next year.
