Pressure is a way to beat him if it can be maintained for 12 rounds. The other way to beat him is to hurt him early and take him out of the fight. I also think a tall rangy fighter with a good jab could beat him if its the right tall, rangy fighter. it can be done and I think him being a slow starter will be a part of the reason.


Tall rangy fighter with a good jab..

see: Diego Corrales

see: TKO 10.. Knocked down 5 times

The only way a tall rangy fighter would beat floyd is if he catches him with a REAL lucky punch, assuming that this tall rangy fighter is lightning fast..

and also, i don't see a jab being the thing that beats Floyd.. it's not like Floyd comes at you until, the 7th-8th round, and sometimes even later.. Unless you want this tall rangy fighter to jab at air and get countered by Floyd's left hook..

The best style that would have a change beating Floyd is controlled aggression.. You have to overwhelm him when he's on the ropes and hopefully catch him with a big shot to stun him.. otherwise, he has been near flawless in avoiding shots anywhere else in the ring.
