The "How to beat Floyd Mayweather" thread...

[ykdadamaja]

Well, it seems as if we have to lend a voice on how to beat Floyd Mayweather as no one out there can.

What I feel Floyd is succeptible to is straight left hand and short left hooks... if you hit him with it, as Castilllo and Cotto did, you can open up some offense for you and make a fight for yourself.

If you watch the Cotto and Castillo fights, you can clearly see the shot Floyd gets hit with and the shot that causes him to switch up.

Even with the Mosely fight, if you watched the 1st round closely and then how Mosely had Floyd already timid of his left hook, that's how Floyd got hit with those two right hands. Mosely was setting him up for the left and delivered the right- if Mosely had crunched in with his trademark left hook, he would have ended the night for Floyd.

Mayweather seems to be afraid of a straight right hand and a short left hook. Whoever fights him has to hit him with powerful short lefts... hooks, and if a Southpaw, with crisp and hard left hands straight down the middle.

Tuck a Glock in your trunks and at the bell shoot at the motherfucker until the trigger goes click.

I honestly think the only way to beat him is with speed. If you look at his opponents there's no speedsters. Judah was one of his tougher fights and he has avoided fast guys since. I honestly believe a guy like Khan has the best chance of beating him, but a khan with a better chin. Mallignaggi would also be an interesting opponent.

I've always thought that with Khan its more the when he gets plugged then having a below par chin. The only other guy in the weight area that I have seen step straight back like he does is his countrymen Kell Brook. Not only does Khan pull straight back but he does it like a post standing completely upright, lead hand down with his chin in the air testing the wind speed. Both Zab and Corley did pretty good but their reasons for doing ok when they did was 3 fold. They were fast, had a good jab and both executed from the other side. The Mayweathers and especially senior do not like southpaws. Oscar had a nice jab but I'm not sure I buy the "but he gassed out" excuse. I think Floyds right hand eliminated its effective use. If Khan could keep the fight at range and not be enticed into a fight which oddly enough may be what Floyd attempts to get him to do he could do ok with Floyd with his speed and even box with him in spells. Its weird because although I dont see Khan making it to the final bell I also think he looks better in this fight then he ever has before.

I would have loved to have seen Floyd v The Motor City Cobra , would have been nice to see how Floyd deals with a bigger more powerful master boxer.

[DavilaJones]

The De La Hoya jab for 12 straight rounds.

With Canelo done in by Floyd, I really don't see anyone else really testing Floyd.

I doubt Pacquiao ever fights Floyd and hell he's not certain to beat Rios, I think Manny's magic is gone.
Tim Bradley just doesn't have what a fighter needs to beat Floyd
I don't think Broner is anything but a guy who wants to copy Floyd and he's certainly not as good as the original.

The ONLY guys who could plausibly beat Floyd are at 160...maybe Martinez, maybe GGG but they'd have to make 154 or lower just to land the fight which GGG says he can do...at his advanced age I'm not sure Martinez can do it.

Like VD said, at this point you'll need 3 crooked judges to beat Floyd.

Yes I put Floyd in the same group as Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Armstrong, Robinson, Pep.....he's pretty unbelievable in his skills as a fighter. He doesn't have the big power a guy like RJJ had but the subtleties of his skill, the attention to detail, he's an impeccable boxer.

I've never watched Khan fight, but isn't Freddie Roach his coach? would've Roach have corrected that already?

Good defence. Being able to stand in front of a fighter and not take any scoring shots. If you can be hit easy then you wont win. Floyds accuracy has his opponents second guessing and hesitating. If Floyd cant land those shots it would almost be check mate. S eone like Duran who can throw cute combinations and stay close without taking shots would be perfect.

Id loved to have seen the Mayorga that fought Orrest against Mayweather Apparently, Angelo Dundee said while watching Mayorga train in miami that he could beat Mayweather.

[imp]

For some reason hopkins has said in an interview he can make 160 before floyds may the 3rd fight and for some reason he thinks that anyone cares.

Floyd has four fights left.

If cotto beats/fights canelo then they will rematch.

Whos left?

Bradley
Garcia
Khan
Alexander
Broner?

Floyd could probably beat two on the same night..(you know its true)

He wont fight past 154 (hes a natural 140) so unless hitman hearns as a time machine it should be a safe stretch to 49-0.

Then another canelo fight as his 50th fight even though canelo would be weighing 209lbs but still fighting welterweights.

Khan left freddie many moons ago hes now with V hunter.

Have you ever thought the reason why these guys cant keep up the pressure is because there actually getting hit and countered themselves?

Are we to believe there is a superhuman perfect species that can fight and keep floyd under pressure for every minute of every round without taken punishment or getting tired themselves?

I agree fast fighters will give floyd more issues and zab proved that but floyd has speed as well as brains.

You need a roy jones type of fighter with power, brains and speed that will give floyd a good fight for the whole 12 rounds but i dont know who has all those qualities.

These opponents have just got to hope he gets old in the ring and do their best.

Ps:- i have paid for all of floyds ppv events to witness the best of this era.
