Can we get gifs of mayweathers footwork throwing the lead right pre mosley during mosley and post mosley?

Two of the harsher criticisms of Floyd were he told when he threw the lead right and he backed up in straight lines. What y'all think?

I think Tyson in his prime has a shot against wlad but I gotta go with the fighter with long jevivity

If this era wasn't so weak we would have our answers about Wlad. I don't see Wlad beating the top guys of the 90's. Prime for prime I'm taking the skillful little guy who not only could take a punch but knows how to fight bigger fighters & would test the bigger fighters questionable chin.

Mike got the same questions when he fought nikkas that wasn't scared of him he lost, even though he should have beat buster.



But in either case Mike and wlad are in the save boat IMO

Wlad is just as weak mentally if not more so. A heavy with a decent chin & any semblance of skill has a good chance of beating Wlad or knocking him around the ring similar to what Sam Peter did. Had Peter been slightly more skillful he wouldn't have made it out of that fight. The Mike Tyson from 86-88 sparks that clown.

:mjlol: @ this fukkery Tyson from 86-88 during the summer solstice, on a full moon with a stomach full of twizzlers sparks him. :dead:

Meanwhile a decade of dominance, no twizzlers needed, just dat kronk training :mjcry:

:wlad:

Versus three years of fighting mostly bums and nikkas over the hill neither guy has a great resume

I would take Tyson's era of fighters over this era of fighters any day. And that's not saying much. But I bet Wlad struggles if not loses to guys that took Tyson the distance

I hardly post anymore been mad busy :francis: As far as that backing in straight lines stuff nikka went his whole pro career undefeated backing in straight lines, a Ward fight is like a dance of him going in and coming out in N out in straight line. Gold medal and undefeated. :sog: People criticize Ali for pulling straight back and a lot of people consider him the GOAT. nikkas will nitpick at everything. There is no perfect way to box you do what works for you. I mentioned it a few weeks ago how Floyd had been hurt in fights by punches that you would get laughed at in a gym for throwing. :manny:

He keeps winning :manny:

I like Tyson as well but we need to take the nostalgia glasses off man were the nikkas that Tyson beat really that much better than this era heavies :mjpls:

No nostalgia here. But some of the guys he beat would be top 5-10 in this era. A guy like Tony Tucker would be "elite" in this era because of his size, boxing ability & punching power.
