Mayweather is faster than 99% of every fighter in his divisions 147 or 154, so it is what it is.
I did say that everyone he faced he was faster than except Judah.
at SR being faster than SRL, and you can't use the blueprint that SRL did to Sr because although Sr troubled SRL,
Jr is 5 times the fighter his father was, and has HOF D to mix with with his HOF chin, not to mention unlike Sr he could use alternate defense if needed.
Jr only loses to a big a fighter that could cut off the ring and maul him with size
Sr was faster than SRL. SRL could throw those shoeshines and maybe thats where you are confused. Jr is a better fighter than his dad, I dont know about 5 times though...lol. had Sr beaten SRL couldve been a lot different, especially if he didnt get shot. as far as using the blueprint, FMJ has never fought a fighter the caliber of PRIME SRL, not even close!
as far as a fighter with size, I did say PW was his biggest threat besides Zab. PW could overtax his defense with activity. Mayweather fought Zab in the early rounds totally different than he fought anyone else I remembered. I was actually shocked....and who knows how strategy couldve changed had Zab been credited with that KD? Not saying PW or Zab would win but really, they were his only true threats at WW. You had a journeyman in Baldomir, over the hill Mitchell and Mosely, jww Hatton, lw JMM, a gutless Ortiz and now the overrated Guerrero.
I am as big a FMJ fan as anyone, but you take it too far. SRL was well balanced, had a great body attack and power. thats why he beat not only FMS, but that saved him against Hearns (along with tremendous heart). In a 15 round fight, Hearns would beat FMJ. SRL would likely beat FMJ too.
sn: FMJ's career somewhat mirrors SRL but even though SRL did some sidestepping, his opposition was better. Hearns was much more skilled than Diego. Benitez was retarded with the boxing skills. Casamayor couldve been FMJ's Benitez but that fight never happened...and there was a reason why.
sn #2: if one of you guys has link to video with FMS hitting heavy bag in camp with Guzman or his padwork with Oscar, post that shyt. this dude is over 50 and has more handspeed than most fighters today...he just dont have the reflexes of course.
I can watch shyt like this all day....
