How to beat Mayweather?

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.

That he does at times,,,He gets tight as he can...Puts the right up next to his chin...The left at waist level and then turns as far as he can.....

I think the reason he gets away with it though is because even though he is almost turned around his feet stay in a forward position

Slip your lead foot in behind his and pull his leg out with your foot as you retreat then catch him re balancing.

back him up against the ropes. he's no Benitez there.

it's futile trying to counterpunch Floyd.

do not engage him at the center of the ring

punch to the body. that should be obvious.

I recon fighters believing they cant counter him, keeps him alive even easier.

Although what you said is true, you wont finish Floyd on your first and last Ideas even if they are combined.

If someone cant work out how to catch him coming forwards a few times so he feels some power and is forced to rethink; or unless someone can work on avoiding him with greater planned footwork on Floyds moves and take him hard in close on an angle as he turns to face back in, then he will remain unbeatable I think.

(So that said I agree; to stand out there toe to toe and try to counter with simple timing wont work either, he's too well adjusted)

Pac may catch him from on the outside off some weird angle , but its a long shot and Floyd will know not to be heading to where he thinks PAc may be if he cant see him clearly for second he will fold back,defuse the power of whats comming at him and fight to live another second away. Floyd can bend in the wind and avoid and fight off the ropes and counters well in close too.

He needs to have the ring cut down around him and cornered with a someone like Mosely.Manny has a really good chance of cornering Mayweather but he lacks in height.Get mosely in there and let him go toe to toe with him.

not for me

for all mosleys attributes (excellent hand speed, footwork, precise punching) he lacks that ability to tie and opponent up which you would need to beat floyd.

floyds main neccesity which still to this day nobody has managed to cope with is that stinging left hook he lunges in with to devestating effect. Only possible way to take that out of the equasion requires both physical strength (something marquez just lacked saturday) to get him into the ropes whenever possible and cutting off his space, and excellent footwork.

Pacquiao would just get eaten up by a far heavier puncher. Pacquiao doesnt have that hattonesque ability to manouvere his opponent around a ring and he would simply stand and trade with floyd which would lead to an endless array of stinging left jabs and potshots!

A prime cotto would of had the best chance. Not the guy that almost lost to clottey and looked ring rusty but the cotto that came into a 147 fight weighing 160+ the night of the fight. He has both the physical ability to cut floyds space off and the technique to get in and out.
