No it isn't swarming does not work, Mayweather picks you off with counter shots. And makes you waste too much energy. If Swarming was the key to beat Mayweather he would of lost to Chavez, Castillo x2, Hatton.
That statment is total rubbish , Mayweather was just to good for the SWARMERS Hatton - Castillo - Chavez , just the same as he has been to good for all the BOXERS he has fought.
So going off your theory you cant box or swarm him as people have tried that before , so r u saying Mayweather is totally unbeatable ? please explain ??
Plenty of styles work, take Oscar De La Hoya's style for example was working well until he faded in the last 4 rounds. Or Take Judah's style that was working good aswell but he couldn't keep it together mentality wise i just don't get why everyone thinks swarming is the only way to be Mayweather when it isn't.
I DIDNT SAY IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was stating that the guys who have tried were not good enough.
you didnt define wot Oscar's style was ?? please explain e.g if Hatton is a SWARMER
Your argument is full of holes.
as for me i think wotever your style it depends on how good you are at carrying it out , dictates the outcome of a fight.
I think Tommy Hearns would have a good style to beat Floyd , or Maybe Sweetpea , as for SWARMERS id give DURAN a chance , maybe Henry Armstrong . see my point it depends how good you are.

I never said you did thats why in my original comment i said *everyone* maybe i worded it wrong but i didn't mean you.

i was stating that the guys who have tried were not good enough.

Swarming just doesn't work, Mayweather has dealt with all forms of swarming. And passed with flying colors.

Oscar De La Hoya put smart effective pressure on Mayweather, and he used his jab to good effect, and yes Hatton is what i would class as a swarmer.

I think Tommy Hearns would have a good style to beat Floyd , or Maybe Sweetpea , as for SWARMERS id give DURAN a chance , maybe Henry Armstrong . see my point it depends how good you are.

Duran puts smart effective pressure on, he is very skilled aggressor with good defense. The only problem is that Duran struggled with fast fighters like Kirkland Laing, Robbie Simms, who were only average fighters and they out boxed him quite comfortably.

Whitaker vs Mayweather would be called No Conest because they wouldn't land any punches on eachother.

I haven't seen enough of Armstrong to know if he could really trouble Mayweather or not.
