How do you beat Floyd

Short of catching him with a big shot...what is the strategy in beating him? I would think you would have to beat him at his own game...speed, defense, countering, pot-shotting...A fighter like Devon Alexander, I think, would have the correct style, but he is small... Mosley was trying to beat him at his own game. If you let Floyd control the pace, you will not beat him, simple as that. You just have to do what you do best, if you are good enough at it you'll give him trouble.

You have to be great like he is... You have to counter adjust his adjustments... Only a SPECIAL fighter could beat prime Floyd... Yes a VERY special fighter at that!

by finishing him off when you got him hurt in the second round.

jab to the body and throw a hayemaker whilst moving foward to your left southpaws have it easy, a straight left will be easier to land obviously everyone goes in with a plan, but when you get picked apart, the plan goes out the window and your gun shy cuz u dont wanna be countered and you feel slow and incapable compared to your opponent(floyd)

Must have speed. Mosley's Power. Ability to mix up the offense (smarts), and you have to have defense. You pretty much have to be a Great like stated. Floyd got caught with Mosley's straight right because he wasn't expecting it. Shane actually bundled it as a 1-2 that Floyd didn't anticipate. Mosley could have won this fight if he was a smarter guy. Combo traps seem like a very good ploy to use against Floyd if you have great power. You have to have more than 1 punch or a look for Jr. clearly. If he takes away your best shot, and you have no other way of getting to him, you're done for.

you have to be like heavy weight like wladamir klitshoko or maybe vitali to have a sure chance of winning... other then that no way in hell mayweather lossing.

Attack attack attack If Mosley was 5 years younger I think he would have stood a better chance!

you need to be manny pacquiao lolz

A young welterweight version of Roy Jones Jr would beat him, but none exists.

I've always thought and said it would take someone who's been boxing their whole life; someone who has as much speed, skill, and natural ability as Floyd has. A fighter who is on dead equal level to Floyd. And right now... he's the only one up there.

First..u have to be mentally strong

A fast stiff jab seems like the most effective weapon I have seen thusfar. As i said in another thread You see, this is it though. This is ALWAYS been it People trying their hardest to land something clean, and figure floyd out. That's the beauty of the shoulder roll. When your opponent stands sideways infront of you like that you pretty much only have 1 hand to to work with, your left hand. Your right hand risks hitting floyd inthe back (and getting penalized) and you can only bring it over his shoulder, upstairs, to make contact with it. This is why JABS are so good against floyd. Because with his stance, your left hand is your only weapon, really. So it pays to have a great jab (great left hand). If you're dependent on your power hand, you're out of luck. This is why fighers get baffled in the ring against floyd. I spar against it in the gym all the time and do it as well to piss people off, they literally get lost. Stubborn guys who don't give a damn, will hit you anywhere, as long as they make contact (margi, for example) and southpaws best combat that roll. Pacman is a pretty accurate puncher as well. he's always on the money with his shots. For that reason a lone i feel as though he'd be flustered in there too. But roach is smart and pacman always listens to him, i'm sure roach would let him know, don't worry about landing clean, just swing (Calzaghe/Bhop, anyone?) but it's easiar said than done.

first and foremost, as of now, you need to be great.
