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.
    Corrales was one guy and he didnt have a very good defence and he wasnt known for his jab. Obviously a tough figher, but Floyd was at his absolute best.

    floyd is still at his absolute best.. In fact he seems more and more natural at welterweight as he gains more experience in the division..

    Corrales wasn't known for his jab, but he did have a GOOD jab, and was a hell of a banger..

    and yes it was "one" guy, but your point was about a "tall rangy fighter", and thats what Corrales was.. so why wouldn't that description be compared to Corrales?


    I still feel, as i said earlier, that someone just needs to catch PBF on the ropes with a hard shot.. I think it was Corley that stunned him, and that was the most i've seen him hurt in a fight ever, and it was to a wild swinging Corley who caught him with what i'd consider a lucky shot..

    Mayweathers biggest weakness is his weak hands. But even that hasn't been an issue of late

    PBF doesn't always start slow.

    I keep telling people that that corley shot didn't hurt PBF as much as people make it seem. I've watched that fight a dozen times PBF wasn't that hurt if he was even hurt at all.

    People keep saying that pressur is the way to beat PBF. Yet everbody who has tried it has loss. Hatton the main guy people said would pressure PBF got KOed. It's not that simple to pressure PBF.

    His biggest weakness like someone else said is or was his hands.

    It just caught Mayweather on the blind side so it caught him by surprise and it stunned him nothing more nothing less he was dazed and it only took him about 10 seconds to recover. Also if i remember right i remember Mayweather getting caught really flush in one of his early fights against Miguel Melo.

    I don't think Pressure is out of the question but i do think no one thing beats Mayweather, you need at least 3 different tactics mixed in with pressure fighting, unless your someone like Vernon Forrest or Thomas Hearns who can use there natural physical advantages over Mayweather.

    I think Mosely could give Mayweather his toughest fight if they could make that match.

    Castillo got it right in their first fight by going to the body rather than the head when Floyd was againsed the ropes (I had Castillo winning by two). Floyd goes to the ropes too much, yet DLH was trying to take his head off everytime rather than work the body.

    I think De La Hoya should wear shorts with $ on them in the rematch. Might distract Floyd somewhat
