    I doubt he'll be figured out. He can be beat but not by way of outthinking him. PBF is a very intelligent fighter. But one other thing he has going for him is the same as RJJ. Even if you see something that you think should be exploited he is so freaking athletic that he is in there and out before you can capitalize. RJJ had so many flaws that it seemed a miracle he wasn't beaten up in his prime. But what it really is, for example, is that he was so gifted athletically that even when he carried his left hand to his shorts you still couldn't get your right hand to land. Thats why PBF and RJJ are able to lead out with their power punches, left hooks and overhand rights, so often and get away with it because of their freakish athleticism. So even if you were to outthink a guy like PBF you still have to get past his athleticism. So basically, the best plan opponents see is to just straight out rush, crowd, and smother him to take away time to think and react and maybe even land that lucky shot.

    He's got them all, its just a question of using them. He's got the jab to the head and the body, hook to the head and the body, uppercuts with both hands.

    He just doesn't use them much anymore because he's been fighting better fighters, guys he's not as likely to open up on. Just look at the Gatti fight he was even throwing right hooks to the body, he was throwing everything, the Chavez fight he used uppercuts a lot. He just doesn't open up as much anymore.
