Juan Diaz's Type Of Aggression Would Give Mayweather Fits.

[ICB]

I don't mean Diaz vs Mayweather, what i mean is that someone with fast hands and puts punches together in quick combos with constant pressure like Diaz. I think that style would work best against Mayweather what do you guys think ??

Disagree.

There's this old boxing adage that the way to beat a great finesse fighter like Mayweather is with constant aggression and flurries, and I've always completely disagreed with it.

You'll see next week, Hatton will charge in constantly (like Diaz would) and Floyd will simply take a step back and nail him with a counter shot, then Hatton will charge again, and Floyd will step to the side and nail him with a counter. Over and over, for 12 rounds.

The type of fighter who can beat Floyd is a tall fighter with long arms and a good jab. Short stocky fighters with short arms and no jab have no chance against Floyd.

The fighters who would give Floyd alot of trouble are guys like Paul Williams or a young Vernon Forrest, those guys were both exceptionally tall and rangy for welterweights. Short power punchers like Hatton and Diaz are the type of guys that Mayweather can toy with for 12 rounds.

I just had a look at the title and it sounds like im saying Diaz's style is the only style that would work the best against Mayweather but i don't mean that.

But i do think Diaz's style could give Mayweather fits and im big Mayweather fan saying this, Chavez had some success but he couldn't put his punches together very well an wasted loads of punches and Castillo put effective pressure on but his hands were nowhere near as fast as Diaz nor does he throw combinations.

I agree with your theory that a good tall rangy fighter would give Mayweather all he could handle guys like Hearns, Forrest, Williams, i have always said out of the Welterweights Williams will give Mayweather the most problems based on his size and workrate.
