hernandez was a bad hand and castillo gave him a lot of problems too mainly because of the physicality of castillo. baldomir in particular gave him a lot of style problems "but he's awkward though" was a comment floyd kept repeating throughout the fight and he had to stick and move a slow and old man to get the win. that tells you a lot about the problems floyd was having with that style


Show me one nikka who aint think Floyd aint shut Baldi out and aint utterly embarrass him:comeon:
you guys are missing the point i think
You have no point you pick one random soft ass punch and use it as so type of evidence as him having issues with a Argentinian style when that was one of the dozen punches he landed all night, LM nutthugging gone wrong , you were trying to imply LM has the style to beat Floyd right when he couldnt beat a shot Zab

You need to rewatch this fight breh

floyd was running from him in a very blatant way hence 10% connect rate. go back and listen to the way the hbo commentary team were criticizing floyd for this preformance it looked very bad in their eyes to see the best fighter in the world have to fight that kind of saftey first fight against such a slow, physically weak looking opponent like baldomir. but there was a reason why he had to fight that kind of fight and it was due to styles

i think he shut him out obviously but he had to run from him to do it and basically try his best not to engage him because the style was causing problems. and zab is a southpaw lol. please remain clear headed in here.

Mosley timed Floyd as well and only had a little more success than Baldomier did in the big scheme of things :heh:

The thing is nobody has been able to consistently time Floyd. Everybody he fought has pretty much landed a timed punch on him, shyt this is boxing. nikkas is world class and will land every now and then even if they do get extremely out classed which is what happened to Baldomier.

If Baldo won like 3 or 4 rds then the whole argument would have more merit.

Cause he hurt his hand teeing off on his head like target practice, a injury that caused him to actually consider and have a quick retirement......


HBO also act like Rigo ran from Donaire when he had Donaire holding his eye running around the ring like a fakkit:stopitslime:

No it's not Danny showed he could box and stick a strategy for 12 rounds numerous times. The last time LM power failed him and he went to distance he took 2 l's vs 2 gatekeepers......


Stop talking out yall ass:stopitslime:

Let's not act like the "losses" to Zab and Devon are really legit. And as someone mentioned, Devon is far from a gatekeeper and a better fighter than anyone Garcia has fought thus far (yes, including Khan).

Devon is a smoke and mirrors guy best WW resume besides Floyd and Danny of course but he's been protected form the best of the best, feasting on lower B level talent. He is a gift wrapped gatekeeper that is being protected for the big names in the future. He knows this also which is why he cautious on his match selection(ducking Brook, and now Khan) with his paper title having ass


And the Devon fight was close if LM aint get a flash the decision wouldnt even had been disputed

mosley did time floyd and i think whats interesting is that it was also from right hands. its counter intuitive because you would not assume the right hand to give floyd style problems given the fact that he uses a modern shoulder roll defense but it actually is a punch that causes him problems and he can be timed with.

baldomir literally could not win that fight i think due to the mismatch that i think floyd was forced into trying to exploit on a physical level. he had to use his legs and pot shot that night every round and baldomir is not the kind of athlete who could respond to this. but that was never my point. i wanted to highlight the style problems caused by right hands to floyd mayweather.

Exactly

Boxing rule #3790
You can't make an argument about a boxer having difficulty boxing against a certain style unless said boxer loses at least 3 clear rounds. Further more this boxer with the certain style should have at least 1 or more accompanying rounds that or contested and close.

its clear floyd was having difficulty though. he had to fight a completely out of character fight that the hbo commentary team tore him apart for because on a visual level it looked bad on him to have to fight a what you could say was a scary fight against such an opponent as baldomir. if you dont agree with me then listen to what floyd was saying in between the round breaks to his corner. he was definitely forced out of his comfort zone in that fight

Can't call the Brook fallouts a duck considering the injuries on both sides and them being signed to fight. I'm no Alexander fan myself.

With that said, Alexander would still be the best name on Garcia's resume. I like Khan more and feel he has more potential, but he hasn't put it together yet (and possibly won't ever).
