Does anyone throw the pull-back counter right hand to the jab better than Mayweather?

Originally posted by DempseyRollin View PostI've heard other ppl say that as well. Thing is fighters don't look at each other's feet when they box. It's not really a tell. It's one that works for couch boxers but I real life it serves no purpose. If Ur dumb enough to watch someone's feet while boxing u''ve already lost.

I think opposing fighters know it is coming too. George Foreman (I believe) in one of Floyd's fights said about this stance: "it looks like he's a sprinter. looks like he's a sprinter on his mark." (something to this effect)
I think it's just incredibly hard to deal with Mayweather's reflexes and baiting with the constant head fakes. I realized that if a fighter doesn't commit to punching when Mayweather head fakes in this position that he will just start teeing off with lead rights.
The reason his pull counter is so effective is distance. Before he settles into this distance he gets off first almost every time forcing fighters to be aggressive to his feints and head fakes. That's why he's so frustrating, he beats you to the punch, then gives you different looks that seem more enticing and counters off these looks.
