    To beat Mayweather you need a fighter who is naturally bigger than him, If you are smaller than Mayweather you have no chance. I would also say you need to have very good stamina and handspeed that is close or better than Floyds.

    There is no one in the sport at 147/154 that can outbox Mayweather. His defense, movement, speed and accuracy are simply too good for anyone to deal with.

    I do feel there is a strategy to beat Mayweather though, and if i was to pick one, it would be to outwork him.

    Mayweather loves fighting at his pace and in most fights he gets what he wants. To beat Mayweather you need to make it a high paced fight.

    When i say a high paced fight, i don't mean throw punches in 2 and 3s. I mean you have to put punches together in 4 and 5s. That way you are able to keep Mayweather on the defensive. You have to be aware of Mayweather counters though.

    You have to apply smart pressure against Mayweather and with that i don't mean swarm him and try to beat him up close like Hatton did. That will never work as Mayweather is a very smart inside fighter.

    When i say smart pressure i mean you have go for the attack, swarm him with punches and then move out. In and out at all times. That way it stops Mayweather punching you once you get inside. You will likely not land many punches but it's an effective way of stopping Mayweather throwing his accurate shots thus leading to you outworking him.

    No matter what though, Mayweather will always be very very hard to beat.

    He has too much speed. The only way anyone will beat him if his speed diminishes with age. He gets away with a lot of stuff because of his speed of hand and his speed of body and feet.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr had a badly injured shoulder and wasn't 100 percent, and how long ago was that ? and didn't Floyd Mayweather Jr beat JLC in the rematch handily ?

    And the 1st fight was very close, due to the fact JLC hardly done anything in the first 5 rounds, and IMO Floyd Mayweather Jr won atleast 4 out of the first 5 rounds. And he easily could of won another 2 rounds, especially the 11th round which was close.

    So based on one close fight he's overrated ? how many gift decision's did Muhammad Ali get ? how many did SRR get ? I don't know a single great fighter that hasn't had a gift decision.

    I don't see how that makes him overrated, infact i think it makes Floyd Mayweather Jr look even better, because you can only really name one fight of his that was close. And even in that fight he was injured.

    The fact is Floyd Mayweather Jr is one of the best skilled, best defensive fighters of all time. For certain in the top 10 in the skills department, and he's certainly on the right track to being one of the greats of this era.

    Watch Floyds fights he ALWAYS leans to his right with the left low.....I noticed this a few years ago....

    It works for him because of his quickness but a guy like Paul Williams who has tremendous reach would be able to capitalize on it

    People did see me type DLH at the start of the thread? There's your blueprint. If Mosely can remain controlled he has a shot.
    You don't need fast footwork, you need the right footwork.

    All the above mentioned.
    And you would have to study him and learn how to counter his counters so he can be caught and feet end in the right place at the right time. Straight fighting isnt going to help much as Boom said he leans or rolls with whatever he sees coming anyway. Leg flexability, core strength cardios, skipping in squats and raising up with uppercuts, continential cup a piss, you name it, you'll need it.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Right hooks as he leans back imo, but then it is a lottery with the ref. You will either be done for hitting from behind or he would be warned for turning away. He does verge on fighting with his back turned away.

    You know how he turns his shoulder to block his chin. He does this with his left shoulder a lot. A couple good left hook could get it going and then catch him with a right as he turns away.

    I've always felt the type of fighter that could beat Floyd is a tall rangy welterweight with very long arms and a good jab.

    There's no one out there right now who really fits that profile.

    Tommey Hearns with out a doubt in my mind would beat Mayweather. A fighter like Sugar Ray Leonard would beat him convincing as well. I fit Benitez would also be a kind of fighter to give him trouble as well. Problem is all those guys are in there 50s and have not fought in over 10 years.

    of course Hearns beats Mayweather. Most ATG Welterweights beat PBF at welterweight. PBF was best at 130 anyway.

    also not-so-ATG guys like Marlon Starling, Curry, Buddy McGirt all beat him.

    I think the highlighted part in going to be the main thing, otherwise it's going to be more of the same in terms of cherry picking oponents.
