    What is the style to beat Floyd?

    Because every single prospective opponent that Floyd has "has the style to beat Floyd."

    The Vernon Forrest style. Boxer with a long great jab that can control the distance. Vernon also has the boxing skills to stay away from Floyd's counter right hand while he sticks his jab in Floyd's face. I seriously see no way Floyd could defeat Vernon THAT is the worst style for Mayweather. People try to pressure him all the time everyone says that is what they will do to him. Oscar's worldclass jab helped show some cracks in Floyd's armor a bit at least. Vernon could more than crack it.

      Someone with a very good jab can beat Floyd AKA Vernon Forrest or Prime Ike Quartey.

        Swarmer......... Someone like Castillo but with better speed and power. Actually Hatton is the perfect man, though I expect Floyd to beat him. All time the toughest match and one Floyd would be least likely to win would be Roberto Duran. Right now Hatton might be his toughest test.

            Oscar was doing a good jobn with the boxer puncher style when he was throwin the jab and lost a close decision.. but I would say swarmer but also you have to outwork him like castillo did the first time.

              a non stop volume puncher has the best chance IMO.hatton has the right style but if he punched a little bit harder than he could pull it off IMO. but Floyd has fought dudes who hits harder than hatton so................

                  A counterpuncher. Sombody with a good check hook. Floyd is open to being timed with left hands.

                    Swarmer will never beat PBF, it will take another great boxer to beat Floyd, oh yea don't even mention the ****ing Castillo fight which Floyd won and was not 100%.
