If Floyd can handle their power he eats slower long rangey guys like Margarito and Williams for breakfast just look at the Corrales fight.

Anyone with less than spectacular handspeed will not hit Floyd with anything effective no matter how aggressive. He'll see everything.
In my opinion, if any previous Floyd fight was a blueprint to beating him it'd have to be the (don't laugh) Zab Judah fight.
Early on he was seemingly matching speed for speed with Floyd. But fell apart just as Floyd expected.
If a fighter can maintain the pace Judah had early on in the fight but sustain it for 12 rounds, gawdamn. Easier said than done, dut damn. It'd be scary times for Floyd.
You gotta box him. I don't see anyone out there outboxing Floyd, but with handpseed comes surprise. You gotta catch him with quick unexpected shots here and there. Not gonna happen bullying him. He'll see all.

Floyd expects bullying.
He doesn't expect 12 rounds of matched speed.


I agree. And also timing.
I also agree but think Judahs best asset was his footwork until he got sloppy.

The only two guys out there with good speed, good footwork, good timing, great chins, know every combo in the book and carrying truckloads of power are Oscar and Shane. I'm still not sold on Floyd's chin at Welter consiquently I think when one of those fights happen it'll be goodnight Floyd
