is there any bad style match-up for PBF?

A taller bigger more powerful guy. See Tito Trinidad, Margarito, Thomas Hearns.

Pac and P Will would be the toughest options probably. I see him taggin Cotto all night and making him devoid of ideas. He may possibly have to make P Will fight on the inside where the long arms could make it more difficult for Williams and he could try and frustrate Manny with movement and the ability to slip punches that Manny hasn't encountered recently.

Well, he's faced almost every style in the game and beaten them. The only thing I can see troubling him (if Pacquiao's southpaw/speed formula can't) is a tall boxer with a really good jab like a Tommy Hearns. Fortunately for Mayweather, there's nobody like that in the sport right now unless he wants to go up and fight a super middleweight or something. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Paul Williams....

tall rangy boxers with good power is the bad style match up for slick boxers

Pacquiao and Paul Williams.

Yes but is he willing to find out...prob not. I have always thought cotto was a bad style match up for floyd, a skillful pressure fighter, I could see that fight being like the castillo fights, pretty tough to score. Manny is a bad style match up for anyone including mr mayweather, floyd just like all righties looks much more vulnerable and less fluent against southpaws. Paul williams because of the size, height reach southpaw, good fighter. Mosley's speed and power would bring a very realistic ko possibility but id expect floyd to pick him off and win a decision. Those are the hard fights for floyd stylistically. A good vernon forrest would have given floyd hell

say like roy jones jr to james toney? or JMM to manny pacquiao? or sandy saddler to willie pep perhaps? i think guys who are excellent in cutting off the ring are the ones who give PBF the most trouble... or someone with a size advantage & a good jab to a lesser extent like oscar... what say u people? You are describing Hatton and Oscar. Both failed. Floyd in his prime has no bad style matchups really. He's just complete. A little more pop wouldn't hurt him though.

pacquiao is the definition of bad style for floyd

cotto is a good fighter but hes not great...by anymeans floyd would hit him like throwing rocks at the side of a barn. floyd would win a TKO faster than pac did Floyd couldnt TKO a fat overweight Marquez because he has no power. Pacquiao DOES, There is a big difference in skill talent and strength with Pacquiao and Marquez at 147. Mayweather is made for Cotto and Pacquiao

i will bet all my points that cotto can still beat floyd jr if that fight should happen.

Someone that is tall and rangy that is an actual outside fighter and preferably a southpaw. Not really a fighter like that around currently. Really though a tall rangy southpaw that fights on the outside and knows what they are doing is generally a matchup problem for anyone.

The style you just described sounds just like Miguel Cotto

out of fights that will actually happen? Pac...he is quite powerful and fast, and might just find a weak spot in Floyd's D and then siege it till it crumbles. P Dub would actually be the greatest challenge to Floyd, but Floyd won't ever take that fight, so no worries

I like William's chances against Floyd better because of his height and reach advantage, workrate and power. Very true. Because of those dimension, William's chances better than Pac. That very high risk for Pac is the reason why I want the Pac-Pbf to happen.

FloydJr's defense is perfect against any conventional fighter. May it be an agressive one or a counterpuncher. The way Floyd moves is an instict, it's more like his body is programmed to slip punches, bob and weave to avoid combinations. But the way JMM caught PBF with a right tells alot, a southpaw's right hook to the body or head will be a problem if it is thrown with speed. a southpaw's 3 punch combination of right jab, right hook left uppercut would be effective, not all three will land but just one, but if that one punch contains power... it would cause problems as the fight progresses. PBF will adjust, but will he adjust soon enough before the damage has been done? I've never seen PBF got caught by a solid punch that really hurt him. What will he do when he gets hurt? of course we know... he will fight backwards til his opponent finally gas... but what if his opponent has stamina? what if his opponent can cut the ring? I want to see PBF adjust to that. I know PBF can bring more to the ring, I want to see him fight his heart out in the ring, I want to see him against a real challenge to see him give all he's got.

Tall, rangy fighters with good jabs; Tommy Hearns is the prime example as some have already mentioned. Paul Williams is the closest thing to that mold. I think if Vernon Forrest and Floyd were around the same weight and in their primes, it'd be an interesting matchup.

cotto is a good fighter but its not great. floyd would hit him like throwing rocks at the side of a barn. floyd would win a TKO faster than pac did Nobody seems to listen to you mantz, but anyway. how would Floyd TKO Cotto faster than Pac did? He fought an overblown weight disadvantaged fighter in JMM, whom he fought to a decision...not even a stoppage but a decision? WHY?

cotto is a good fighter but its not great. floyd would hit him like throwing rocks at the side of a barn. floyd would win a TKO faster than pac did Floyd won't do it running through. Floyd would probably win but only via decision.

Like most posters here, pac or williams. IMO, Pbf's defense eats conventional fighters. I like William's chances against Floyd better because of his height and reach advantage, workrate and power.
