One of Floyd’s secrets

floyd#700By AJ: Floyd Mayweather (44-0 26KO’s) has many abilities in his boxing game whether it’s defense, offense, fighting backwards and so on. One thing many people do not notice is Mayweather’s ability to use speed against his opponents.

Yes, that’s right speed. Zab Judah and Oscar De La Hoya are perfect examples. In the first half of the fight you can see De la Hoya pressuring Mayweather against the ropes and attacking his body and then go up to his head. Floyd of course could deflect some but not all.

What I seen was Golden boy just punch himself out and threw unnecessary flurries at Floyd and getting himself tired, then Floyd would occasionally get off the defense and throw some combos of his own. That’s how I see Oscar losing that bout.

Is Canelo being discredited too much?

alvarez4By AJ: WBC/WBA and Ring Light Middleweight Champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1 30 KO’s) has an upcoming mega fight with the Rings #1 P4P boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather (44-0 26 KO’s), who is also the WBC Welterweight champion and WBA “Super” Light Middleweight champion.

Already Canelo is the 3-1 underdog in this bout and it’s no surprise. Floyd Mayweather Jr has shown he can adjust to any gameplan his opponents have tried to use and find a way to win.

There’s doubt Floyd Mayweather is an all time great. But people are discrediting Alvarez too much as if he’s a nobody and hasn’t worked his way up. No he hasn’t faced the quality of opposition Floyd has but this kid can box and has proved he can hang with an elite fighter, though some may not consider Austin Trout (26-1 14 KO’s) an elite fighter he’s definitely an A class fighter due to him outpointing Miguel Cotto for the WBA “regular” title.
