I have been watching boxing on the regular for as long as I can remember...Im 28 born in 1985 and remember watching fights on USA, CBS, NBC and exam the sport as closely as avid NBA and NFL fans. All fighters have weaknesses and through my experiences as a novice trainer, a former amatuer boxer, and a hard core boxing fan I have noticed for years that the few mistakes Mayweather makes no one capitalizes enough to actually defeat him.
Mayweather is one of those guys so gifted that in order for him to legitimately loose, no DQ or BS like that he will have to get KTFO like Roy Jones did.
1) Stick the jab with variety...Throw one jab at a time and not bringing it back fast enough makes you a sucker for the pull counter and a parried jab/straight right counter. Changing the speed, and angle of the the jab will make him think and keep him on his toes
2) Punch with him...when he throws rights to the head and body he sticks his chin out.....When a FIGHTER is the faster fighter his opponents often wait til he is done throwing and lose the opportunity to catch him because of his speed, reflexes and defenses. every fighter is vulnerable to being hit when throwing their own punches.
3) When Floyd throws his right hand to the body and to the head he sticks his chin and head up....Zab Judah dropped him unoffically with a counter right hook...Also Corley, Castillo, and others capitalized when he lift his chin when he throws his right hand shots....COUNTER HIS RIGHT TO THE BODY WITH A RIGHT UPPERCUT OR LEFT HOOK TO THE HEAD OR BODY IF ORTHODOX FIGHTER
3) Fighting one style wont do it...variety...although he is known as a pure boxer in most fights he utilizes several styles...i would advise my fighter do the same thing and figure out which area he has an advantage whether the inside, outside, mid range, counter punching or brawling.....dont depend on this advantage because Mayweather is one of the most adaptable fighters ever and repitition doing the same thing, will have your guy figured out in 3 rounds or less.
4) Take away his jab and counter to the body....Jab with him, counter him whether to the head or body...the is gonna land some but its better than getting hit with power shots....taking away the jab disrrupts any fighters rhythm and he would depend on lead rights and left hooks which are easier to counter than the jab
5) Mix the attack to the head and the body..."Like I said Before..." pun intended Floyd is quick minded, variety is key to the attack....dont stick to one combo or one counter he will figure it out and counter you
All fails hope for that once in a lifetime punch cause winning a 12 round decision I dont see that happening unless he declines at a faster rate or his body breaks down
