i personally dont like mayweather defensive style, though it very effective. his shoulder forward always running away from the opponent. a hit and run kind of thing. when i watch 90's heavyweight youtube, i think todays boxing is not as entertaining as then. the likes of Holyfield, Roy Jones, Toney, Tyson, Morrison (RIP), Bowe, Moorer....

Mayweathers boxing style is very sergical. He spends the first minute evading his opponent to get them tired and frustrated through his faster foot speed and superior defence.

The next minute he actully moves in and scores the points necessary to win the round by outpunching the opp

In the final minute he again becomes cagey and boxes smart as looks for an opportunity to land a knockout punch if the opponent looses their cool.

It may look look boring coz he is not a brawler but in his defence he is always fighting opponents in a higher weight division so he cannot get into a brawl with heavier opponents. Check his stats he has knocked out most opponent his size or lighter

You are right Obi. This guy is a technique boxer like the Greece team that won the Euro 2004. The most memorable of boxers were not just boxers but fighters who brought passion and heart in the ring. When Mike Tyson stepped into the ring he was not just going for a win but he was there to beat up somebody. Many things will be said about Mike Tyson but one thing will never be taken away from him, the boy could fight. Since Mike Tyson boxing has become a sport and not a fight and for good or ill somehow the latter has more appeal.

[quote=MaichBlack][quote=InnovateGuy]Anyone seen the Mike Tyson documentary? That guy had a very powerful left hook... woe unto you if he unleashed an uppercut..KO.

Watched Knockout sports on Sony Max - Saturday or Sunday [Can't remember which]. They had a special on Tyson - two or three episodes back to back. It was just a joy to watch and go back down memory lane. A couple of greats retired after being knocked out by tyson! One fellow - I forget his name, had never been knocked down let alone knocked out and everyone thought he's the one who would tame tyson. And the dude was huge! What tyson did to him... I believe he never fought again. A combination of blows and the dude fell on the canvas like he had been hit with a sledge hammer! The minute he hit the canvas you could tell there is no way in hell he's going to stand up.[/quote]

Earlier in the year I was watching 'Tyson Raw and Uncut' on ESPN classics and man Mike was a joy to watch in the ring......a beast in the ring.
