    Default Re: How to beat Mayweather?

    I've got the De la Hoya vs Mayweather fight on DVD and have watched it countless times. Sometimes Oscar caught Floyd in a position in the ring where he didn't want to be but I'm not sure if it was due to Oscar's footwork or whether it was Floyd's cockiness. I remember Oscar once repeatingly landing left jabs to Floyd's left shoulder and pushing him back in a straight line against the ropes and landing a glancing straight right but the whole time Floyd was smiling and appeared to be clowning around. I don't know how everyone else feels but I was more impressed by Hatton's early efforts in getting Mayweather in a position he didn't want to be. However he didn't have enough combination handspeed. I think Floyd will be beaten by a guy who doesn't land more punches than him but just impresses the judges with sheer volume thrown. I agree with Duran beating Floyd. I think it would look alot like the first fight with Leonard except Floyd would get alot more flustered.

    I thought hatton did quite well against mayweather until the ref made that terrible point deduction. He clocked floyd with a hard right that's why floyd stuck his head through the ropes and hatton hit him in the back of the head. Hatton went all to hell after that point deduction. I guess it was desperation after that and he got too reckless.
