Haters and huggers welcome!!! Answer this!

Floyd is obviously beatable. No one is unbeatable. You can look at the fighters who have tested him to his weaknesses. At this point at welterweight he does not throw combinations like he did in his days cleaning out 130 and 135, so he is more susceptible than ever to a pressure fighter that throws punches. That gave him hell at 135 when he was still able to brawl somewhat against Jose Luis Castillo, now that he can't brawl and rarely throws combinations a welterweight Castillo or something similar would really get to him. A guy like prime Margarito would really hurt Floyd, luckily for him nothing like that is at welterweight right now. Zab Judah was clearly uncomfortable for Floyd, but Judah is not mentally strong or disciplined enough to finish the job and you have to be because of Floyd's ability to adjust to what his opponent does. If he doesn't have foot speed and hand speed advantage it bothers Floyd. Floyd has also become too defensive and falls in love with covering up and making opponents miss. Against guys who throw fast and hard punches accurately like Mosley or Pac, he will have to change that or he will take punches. Also, Mosley or Cotto would see how he just goes into his shell against the ropes and have the size to put him there and keep him there. Floyd has all the talent in the world, you don't get to 40-0 without talent but he needs to put that talent to use and against an opponent that forces the best out of him.

I've read some good answers on this tread,but the thing i agree with most is controlling distance,fighters like the Punisher & Margarito who apply loads of pressure & close distance well,pose the most problems for floyd!!Floyd has never fought at a pace they will set,say what u like about it,but the biggest thing is,they don't care if they land everything & will be throwing regardless!! Cotto & Mosley are more boxer-punchers,but if they can keep up on the jab & don't mind missing,they have their shots to break through,because they are heavy handed!!Pound on floyds left elbow & hip,that should soften him up!! Call me crazy,but Clottey is a serious wild card,who can beat floyd,without a doubt in my mind!!Here's why,Clottey is very fast in his own right,plus he pressures by constanly getting into punching distance & using his body!!He can match floyds speed,apply pressure & not worry about being out worked!!

Is Floyd beatable? Is the Philly Shell penatrable (typo?)??? How can you beat someone like Floyd with his speed and defence? Huggers and haters are welcome but try and give real answers none of this bring a gun or kryptonite shi t. Spit some knowledge at me. Let him come to you, that would allow him to open up. You can't match his speed, you just have to time him. When you do attack if you get a chance to, you keep the pressure, not 1 or 2 punches, that won't do shit. A whole shit load of combinations. Against Cotto, when Mayweather blocks with his shoulder, elbow, and arm, Cotto will just keep hitting that whole arm and shoulder and Cotto will break it. Against Manny, being southpaw Manny will be able to tag him quite a bit because he's just as quick and Manny will be relentless on pressuring PBF. Between these two, it's just a matter of conditioning and cardio. Manny fakes alot and that should somewhat throw off PBF, only because Manny is fast and quick enough.

dont throw a single punch and you'll get a draw. he only throws when his opponent throws so that way you'll get a draw in the most boring fight in history. Rofl, but true true!

A good jab is the main key to disrupting Floyd's rhythm and timing. Oscar and Zab both had him thrown off with that jab. Great stamina is also a requirement, as Castillo proved in their first fight. Oscar and Zab didn't have that, so they weren't able to maintain that pace down the stretch. Apart from that, as someone else said ; you gotta control the distance that the fight is fought at. You can't let Floyd dictate that because that's a recipe for sure disaster as he picks you off all night ; the jab would be a key factor in maintaining that distance. Nobody's going to knock him out ; his style is too crafty and he's likely to end up like Hopkins ; never badly hurt, and never once knocked out. I also think a smart power boxer like Shane Mosley (especially with Richardson in his corner coming up with the battle plan) may (just may) be able to give him moments of trouble throughout the fight.

The same Castillo who was knocked out by Hatton? Sorry just wanted to bring that up. Actually ; not the same Castillo that got KO'd by Hatton. That version of Jose was about 167 years old in "ring years". Ok but how?' Like OG said ; Paul Williams. The height, reach, workrate, pop, speed ; it's all there for Paul.

Look at FLoyd vs DLH, Judah, Hatton and Castillo. All had succesfull moments in their fights and Won 3 or more rounds. Castillo beat him!!!!! I cant remember how the first castillo fight went down but I remember I was shocked cause I thought he won

Hearns style would kill Floyd. Durans fast pressure and relentless strength wouldnt let Floyd pot shot. Make Castillo a bit faster, or make Oscar throw is ****ing jab and u may see Floyd behind on points. Then he will show what he is really made of. Ali, Leonard etc became legends because they were forced to dig deep and shocked everyone with what they acheived.

Is Floyd beatable? yes Is the Philly Shell penatrable (typo?)??? yes, but you gotta be busy How can you beat someone like Floyd with his speed and defence? you gotta control distance...

The way to beat him is to put him in the ring with Pac. Preferbly at 140 but knowing PBF, it will have to be 147

dont throw a single punch and you'll get a draw. he only throws when his opponent throws so that way you'll get a draw in the most boring fight in history.

Ok but how?' Paul Williams /thread

I'm not a hugger nor a hater....so I guess I don't belong in here CHUCK!

"The Philly Shell" isn't even a real style, and it's definitely not Floyd's style. That's some bullshit made up from the "Fight Night" video games. :lol1: And yes ; he's beatable. Ok but how?'

look at floyd vs judah Floyd whipped JUdahs ass Look at Floyd vs Castillo

"The Philly Shell" isn't even a real style, and it's definitely not Floyd's style. That's some bullshit made up from the "Fight Night" video games. :lol1: And yes ; he's beatable.
