Mayweather Actually Had A RISKY Boxing Style... Technique Breakdown

It’s crazy how similar he is to Ali

TBE

The thing is is you can't really copy Mayweather's techniques. He is able to get away with breaking the core fundamentals because of his speed, positioning and reflexes. He's able to do things that other people just can't do, and the ones who try end up getting CLOBBERED like Adrian Broner.

Mayweather just had that shit you can't teach, he just had that rare 6th sense in the ring and his mind processed so fast and that's part of what made him so spectacular even against other world class fighters

leaving his hands down against manny pacquiao is crazy if you think about it

This guy is a genuis

216 you see what he did... wrap em up and push down

it’s so hard to keep your composure while defending shots instead of just mindlessly throwing back to keep someone off of u

When a fighter doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs like Money May, it’s the reason he’s undefeated

Floyd is the opposite of “running”, man was in the corner of the rope right in front of his opponent and still can’t be hit

Watching spark on welding machine is way more fun to watch than Mayweather entire boxing career period 😂😂

Nice video.

It feels like anyone fighting Mayweather needed 5+ separate strategies in their pocket going into the bout, and they needed to chop and change to avoid getting countered. It's almost like the worst thing you could do was spend your most effective techniques/combos on him repeatedly, as he downloaded, analysed and overcame his opponents' best weapons inside a round or two, then nullified them.

It's extremely impressive that fighters and their coaches prepared a full game plan going in, and have countless hours in the gym to drill it, and Mayweather was able to basically turn it against them on the hoof. I've seen so many clips of him losing the first couple of rounds and then absolutely dismantling his opponent for the rest of the bout to the point where he makes them look like amateurs. One round his opponents are a few points up and landing telling shots and the next, he flips a switch and they can't really touch him. That's crazy and extremely demoralising to fight against.

To put it this in context, there are countless rematch fights where boxers have several months to go away, figure out why they lost the first bout, make adjustments and still don't come close to winning the second fight. FMJ was able to master this process inside a few _rounds_, all while someone was trying to punch him in the face repeatedly.

Love him or loath him, the man's a genius.

SEND THIS VIDEO TO ALL THE DIRTY PACTARDS AROUND THE GLOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you put yourself in the corner and your opponent can't do much it takes away their spirit. It's a mental tactic.

Floyd Mayweather would have lost to Sugar Ray Leonard quick punching style to out box his opponents combined with flurries to the body and head would have knock Mayweather on the ropes with his guard down and Mayweather would lost the fight, Thomas Heard has longer reach and have power in his jabs and ability to fight off the ropes would have backed Mayweather to the ropes and jabbed him until Mayweather could not take it anymore and lost the fight, Marvis Hager would have pounded Mayweather onto the ropes and hit him with his power punches like Mike Tyson while Mayweather left his guard down when he is on the ropes and Mayweather would have lost the fight, Roberto Duran would have bulled roped Mayweather onto the ropes and hit Mayweather with his power punches and his experience to fight close up like Mike Tyson and Mayweather would have lost the fight. If your using history as a meter stick, Mayweather should not have an undefeated record.

The GOAT

Despite having glass hands he made the most of what he had and made a dominant brittle hand fighting style. Wow!

Opponent selection, or when he faught certain opponents at certain times in their careers, doesn't they play hugely into whether or not he was "bold" or "reckless"?

These strategies could be seen as bold or reckless, sure, but maybe not as much when used against novices or old men.

This is why he’s the Best literally allowed you to do the same thing until he fixed it Live

Floyd is definitely overrated 🤷🏾‍♀️👩🏾‍⚖️

Manny should have went Joe Frazier style by intense pressure forcing Floyd to increase his volume of punches

Floyd was always asking his opponents to seek and destroy rather than him seeking THEM!

Mayweather never put Muhammad Ali on his top 5 shortlist but he so used Ali's rope a dope tactics to which you could argue he perfected.even throwing a right hand lead is dangerous which Mayweather was good at getting away with?... Even Ali throw a right hand lead towards foreman as the first punch in that fight

50 fights, 50 wins. 27 by ko. no draw, no loss. this guy was incredible!

Even though he isn't my favorite fighter by a mile and I didn't enjoy many of his fights you have to give it up that he is a straight up genius level boxing god.

There are many of Mayweather's opponents who were bigger, and or stronger, and or faster, and or more athletic, but none were better at making adjustments.

to be fair jr wasnt very gutsy when picking his opponents.....he always made sure they were WAAAY past their prime.

"You are one composed individual." Conor McGregor to Floyd after their fight

He was a spectacular puncher before the bones in his hands turned into glass. Pretty Boy was a ferocious predator. He changed his style out of necessity. When his hands were sound he was just as vicious as Duran or Tyson

In every video a great lesson to be learned, or a few. Thanks for your uploads as always

I’m don’t get how a Floyd got away away with his ballsy offense. You mention he’d just trust his timing but what does that mean? Could he predict when his opponents weren’t gonna punch? And if so, how? (Watching film, understanding they’re mannerisms?) like he’d really load those left hooks back. Yes he’s quick, but it’s still telegraphing. So as someone tryna get better at boxing, I wanna know how did he get away with it

Floyd landed so many picture perfect punches. His accuracy was beautiful. To me an action packed fighter who lacks precision such as Shawn Porter is boring to watch

Glad someone pointed out that Zab was the only man to knock Floyd down

Floyd gave boxing lessons to great fighters: Marquez, Mosley, Alvarez, pacquiao. It’ll take some time before someone as good as Floyd comes along

Best fighter of my lifetime so far

this video made me go back and watch the fight with him and pacquiao cuz he totally dominated him

this video nailed it...I don't think anybody could have said it better

In other words he was a perfectionist. Always taking the opportunity to improve including being in the ring and fighting his opponent in an official match.

Mayweather is the GOAT
