Keys to beating Floyd Mayweather Jr

[ROSEWOOD]

The only key is to hope he keeps moving up..Big guy may have a shot at beating him..These little guys dont stand a chance.

If thats the case wouldn't De la Hoya been given the decision in the Mayweather fight? Wasn't it De la Hoya who threw all those bull**** flurries that hit nothing? Come on man just say you don't like Mayweather instead making up **** that isn't true about the man. I can respect that more than you just making up ****.

Yeah he just owned himself on that one. Thats when you know a guy is blinded by hate.

Can anyone tell me the keys to beating Mayweather in there opinion? Well I'm a Floyd Mayweather Fan and I just don't see anyone beating him right now.

Fight like Miguel Cotto!
I aint just saying that coz im a Cotto fan but thats the way to beat Floyd, Cut off the ring, work the body, be relentless but dont get frustrated. And U obviously need the physical attributes - Great strength, Power, Timeing, some speed and most importantly Heart and DETERMINATION coz u R gonna miss and u R gonna get tagged!

As Jim Lampley has once said"everyone has a plan until there hit"

if Jerry Roth is the judge in Mayweather's fights, he WILL give the split dec. to Mayweather(proof: Castillo first fight...ODLH) no matter what.


Keys to beating Floyd Mayweather:

1. Make him fight your game - Instead of following him, just simply utilize YOUR gameplan. Mayweather doesn't like to fight on his tippy toes. If you don't let him know that the fight will play out on YOUR terms then before you know it, at the end of the 4th round you'll be down 4-0 with your corner telling you that you're in danger mode if you don't utilize YOUR gameplan while Roger Mayweather is in Floyd's ear sayin "yeah you're whoopin his ass" so be sure to set the pace! If you set the pace early on, it will force HIM to adjust to YOUR gameplan.

2. Force him to throw and COUNTER - Mayweather's speed is exceptional, but he is primarily a COUNTER puncher. I'm not saying he is always a counter, but that is his primary goal, to pick you apart. How do you pick someone apart? By COUNTERING. Now, when fighting Floyd, you have to be able to react QUICKLY. Floyd is an extremely fast jabber, but as I said earlier he is a counter puncher. Throw faints at him with your block up and counter his jab with a hook or uppercut. You can even counter with a jab if you're not too sure the hooks will land properly. This goes along with the first step about fighting YOUR fight/gameplan and not his.
He will counter you all night and he will dance around you all night with no intentions of actually knocking you out. DON'T ALLOW HIM TO DO THIS. Set up faints, force him to throw the jab. Parry this and counter with a hook or uppercut like I said before. Do this and you'll score some points.

3. Experiment in the early rounds - Don't be afraid to experiment in the early go rounds. Try to see what makes Floyd nervous in fights. Go at him, get him on the ropes and throw flurries. Floyd uses the Philly Shell defense and has the right side of his face blocked at all times. This will be a problem for orthodox fighters because they like to use their left to lead off more so than the power right. Now, this isn't huge problem BUT fighters that like to lead jab or whatnot will have to adjust. Here's how to do it.
Floyd's defense leaves the left side of his face open for shots all night. The thing is, he has great mobility/agility. Throwing faints will force him to block when not needed, this can leave openings for QUICK(gotta be fast bro)jabs and uppercuts, no hooks. Fake like you're throwing a right. He will lift the left arm and use his elbow and forearm to block with the right arm still in place. Quick left uppercut, trust me on my life it will catch him. If you're not confident in the uppercut then use the quick left jab. Do this and you score some points.

4. Keep your block up at all times - While you're forcing Floyd to fight YOUR fight, he does a good job at adjusting so be sure to keep your block up when you're not swinging. This WILL help you in the long run if you're unable to really KD or hurt Floyd.

5. Practice counter manuevering - While utilizing your gameplan, please be sure to move, duck, bob and weave. Don't just stand there.

Floyd won against Castillo and De La Hoya. Get over it. The Castillo fight was like 5 years ago. Not a bad plan but that doesn't mean it'll work. Floyd can play mind games with you.

The only way I could see someone beating Mayweather is by walking him down, cutting off the ring, and just staying in the trenches throwing a high volume of punches. Your st**** pretty much involve someone outskilling the most skilled fighter out there. That's just not going to happen. Mayweather would only lose against a fighter who would keep coming forward, was way bigger than him, and had some decent skills. I think Cotto is the biggest threat to Mayweather of all the fighters out there today...

LOL at the idea that there is a gameplan that will beat Mayweather. The best they've mustered so far is a "split decision" against De La Hoya (Mayweather won 8 rounds) and a "screwjob win" over Castillo (Mayweather won 7 rounds). I love it. Keep crying, fellas. There is no gameplan.

You have to be a spectacular athlete to have a chance. Or outweight him by 20 pounds.

Mosley and elite 160+ pounders have a chance and that is it.
