Fight Credential
Defense
Mayweather is not only the top defensive fighter of this era, it wouldn't be out of line to nominate him as the best ever. Thanks to his patented shoulder roll defense, finding clean angles to hit him flush even one time is a difficult thing. But hitting him multiple times with clean combinations? Forget about it. As Shane Mosley found out, opponents often get one chance and that's it. While speed and athleticism go a long way in making Mayweather a defensive genius, it's his smarts that truly separate him from the pack.
Advantage: Mayweather
