GGG to drop weight and Smash everybody!
Disconnect his brain from his body. I know for sure you are not going to beat him by committee!
Floyd's fight plan is always the same, he watches his opponent for a couple of rounds, then starts picking them apart. He lets them get away with a few things at first, then turns up the speed.
Floyd's speed, ring generalship, boxing IQ, ability to wait patiently and almost never getting called for holding are tought to beat.
He's the man, it's pure and simple!
Winning the first few rounds doesn't mean anything (and I don't agree he did). He presented something and Floyd adapted to it like he does to every opponent.Quote:

I have never rated Sweat Pea at welter just thought he came at the right time but at lightweight he was untouchable.Quote:

The Mayorga that demolished Forrest???? Yes he was crude and raw, but had a great chin and was brave in the ringQuote:

That was Floyd's last great test- vs Judah. Even vs. Cotto and Hatton you had the feeling he had the match well in hand. Judah was the last fight I ever saw Floyd had to dig in to win....Quote:

That was an awesome performance by both fightersQuote:

I agree. I actually thought he was gonna lose then zab imploded
He also has a plan B and C if required. Mosley nailed him early and yet Mayweather wasn't rattled, he simply adjusted and never lost another round! He is the best defensive fighter i have ever seen, his ability to size up his opponents is uncanny, at first you think he might have trouble with a guy and then by the end of round 4 or 5 the fight result is in no doubt because Mayweather has already stepped into gear and has everything under control. You really have to nail him hard within the first two rounds, you have to dictate the fight first or he will destroy you mentally, Mayweather just takes control, works you out and just cruises to the end. The Pacquiao of 3 years ago was the best chance anyone had of beating Floyd, he had the angles, the pressure and the power to do it, he doesn't have that anymore and will be lucky to beat Rios in November. Alvarez has youth on his side, but i fear that Floyd will make a fool of him if they fight this year! In answer to the question posted "How do we beat Mayweather" ?... I'll be fucked if i know!Quote:

Notice the punch? A short, crisp shot- with Floyd coming in. It wasn't exactly a hook, but more like a crisp shot on the inside.
But, Judah was hitting Floyd with straight hands down the pike AND SCORING until he imploded.
