How Do You Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Lets Say Your The Trainer)

Mayweather is surely one of the five most skilled fighters ever, right up there with Joe Gans, Benny Leonard and Willie Pep. Floyd is more skilled than Sugar Ray Robinson, I think Mayweather may have the most skillful defence ever. How do you beat him? Castillo beat him. Ricky Hatton is bigger, stronger, fitter and faster than Castillo, and Hatton is the only guy in boxing today who can get close to the skill level of Mayweather.. and he just happens to be around the same weight. So go get Ricky Hatton, tell Ricky to pressure Mayweather but not make the mistakes that Castillo made (Castillo was punching to the arms and elbows which a pressure fighter should never do), and get Mayweather on the backfoot. If Mayweather fights on the ropes against Hatton he'll get battered, Ricky will tee off on him from angles switching right or left and head or body. So if Ricky can back him up, I think Ricky can beat him. Zab Judah could beat Mayweather too because he's naturally bigger, stronger, and he's much faster than anything Mayweather has come up against. But, I just think at super-featherweight and lightweight Mayweather cannot be out-boxed by anybody since the days of the Gans', Leonard's and Peps. Sounds funny reading that post now lol.

ill tell my fighter to throw the most viscious low blow he can and then hit floyd behind the head as soon as the fight starts lol...

Personally i`d like to se him in the ring with Cotto, Williams and "loaded" Margarito :) But no... Margarito is the type of fighters who would fit good to Floyd`s style... I think Cotto, Williams at WW and probably Pacman in lower weight classes could handle him...

Let him get older. Now actually might be a great time to take him with an attack style strategy. I'm not sure he can fight the same as he did from 130-140, let alone some of his early fights at 147. That's only in regards to current fighters. Past fighters, much easier time to talk about beating Floyd. For example: At 147, just pit him up against SRR, Hearns, Leonard, etc. At 140, maybe Pryor and Whitaker. Below that, we have some bigger options. Not guaranteed wins...not saying that...but it would be easier to say if I had this guy's talent, I would have him do so and so against Floyd Jr.

Your top fighters i think the southpaw thing would work for a few rounds, but then you better turn it into a war. Mayweather is gifted, and a smart fighter. He may figure out your gameplan after a few rounds. I think the best chance is to get inside to the body, and go to war with him. how do you ever put hopkins before ali? You gave me a good laugh for today. Thank you.

This shit is crazy today.

How to beat floyd Very simple, just put him in the ring with the pacman.

i think the only way you can beat floyd is to wait until he gets old, and slows down, he is unbeatable right now

Have to disagrre with you there mate. True, Hatton did have a major wobble in round 12, but Floyd would never get to round 12 with Hatton. Collazo is a good fighter, who everybody overlooked due to the Hatton hype. Don King knew this. He don't put belts on the line without good reason. Hatton would jump all over Floyd, like he did with Kostya, except Floyd will go down and stay down. Different strokes for different Blokes.....I'm afraid that there was more than just the wobble in the 12th, Hatton looked way to even for a guy like that for him or more importantly, YOU to think that he'd stand a chance against Floyd. With PBF, you have to worry about more than just his speed, he has power, defense, & experience(especially with fighters like Hatton). Tell U the truth, mang, I don't think Hatton could even take Gatti, & we all saw what Floyd did to him. Now can u Dig Dat, mate!!!! :boxing:

How Do You Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Lets Say Your The Trainer) i would tell my fighter "get in that damn ring and as soon as he starts on his bicycle, protest and tell him to fight you or go join cyclist team" wach, castillo and chavez fights, watch mitchell and judah fights and main plan would be hit him in the body the pretty girl doesn't like body punchs -who does right

"Hatton is the only guy in boxing today who can get close to the skill level of Mayweather.. and he just happens to be around the same weight". JuyJuy, your Buggin' Out. Did you see the recent fight that Hatton just had (I forget his opponents name)& almost got taken out by this virtual unknown. Hatton beating Floyd is a loooooooooong shot, mang. To beat Floyd the opponent will either have to be faster &/or as defensively skilled as Floyd. Also, no ones going to rattle Floyd with rapid fire punches, the opponent has got to be a skilled counter puncher & catch Floyd slipping when & if he becomes frustrated due to the waiting game the counter punching will cause. You ain't gon knock Floyd out, so you best be prepared to go the distance, be more busy than Floyd, & hope the decision goes your way. Now Can U Dig Dat!!!!!!! :boxing: Have to disagrre with you there mate. True, Hatton did have a major wobble in round 12, but Floyd would never get to round 12 with Hatton.

it was draw my man

pull a Nancy Kerrining (miss spell) thang hit him in the knee the day before the fight mate..only way till Osacr tees off on his head

you guys are all missing something. Mayweather boxes 15 minute rounds. His stamina will be superior to anyone. If you fight 3 minutes of every round, you will be tired long before him.

I would tell my guy to keep hitting Floyd on the arms and shoulders and hands and whatever he could hit. Or to go on a banzai run in the first round. :)

With a gun.

You've got to have the right fighter first, and there aren't that many out there that could handle him in any way. But I think a guy who can take a hard punch, plus mauling, brawling, and pressuring him every second every round would be able to beat him, especially given they had some talent.

i read this sumwhere in the forums before.. i didnt read throught all the pages so if it was said i apologize.. do what tarver did.. buddy told tarver to throw punches while roy jones threw his punches. everyone was blinded and afraid of his speed and power. throw ur punch with mayweathers punch... if its done enough ull land a lucky shot and finish him... and yes.. castillo did win that fight with PBF (1st fight).
