Who can Beat Floyd?? Not Brawlers

[Mike Tyson77]

Paul Williams. His height and work rate could make things difficult for Floyd.

I would love to this fight. Paul is a giant.

[Jim Jeffries]

I think a brawler without arms like a t-rex, in a normal sized ring, would have a pretty good chance.

or without the ref breaking it up in the crucial rounds.

Floyd showed he was nothing special on Saturday. Ref gifted the fight to him.

dog... what jab does he possess to be called a boxer?(not onetime mosely.. which was great though) what foot movement does he display?

And head movement? slipping?


Cotto is great... but boxers have a tendency to do those 4 things decently well...

I love cotto he's a great guy./.. but he isnt a boxer man.. just ask yourself which one of those things he does well?



It actually shows how good he is(or how much power).. with virtually none of those he has went undefetaed and beatin the likes of mosely and judah... Cotto is one of a kind.

EDIT:Hey man if you can prove me wrong i will glady take my statement back.

well first off, thank you for taking so kindly to the post - show's you're a different degree of poster.

2ndly - cotto's footwork, the man is like water in there, fluid movement all the time, i mean yeah, he's not as fast as a hatton on the feet - but do you really wanna be? show me a time where cotto is off balance (when not getting tagged) and i'll show you that hatton won on saturday night - or if you CAN - then that renders me an idiot.

head movement, this is what worries me the most - i feel that cotto and his team would do a lot to negate that right hand - or try to sustain on his feet like he did against mosleys right hands, i think he caught about 30 flush r hands from mosley - an attribute to cotto's chin.

cotto is a boxer-puncher, boxer's fight going backwards, cotto does this, boxers use the jab and combination punching (yes, maybe sporadically due to cimcumstances cotto hasn't been doing this as much) and cotto does this, boxers use their feet (this is the biggest surprising knock against cotto) and my guy, migs, uses his feet top 5 in the game, always in position.

youtube migs, man, you'll see.

Another pointless thread...no offense to the person that posted it. But I mean come on..this is getting old. So many people were the "ones" to beat him, and all 39 have the same L on their records. Let the man ride off into the sunset...unless he WANTS to come back. But he been champ for 10 years already, aint lost since 96...the way these people hate on Floyd on here, he can be champ for 20 years and still be undefeated and they will still say, "well, he still needs to fight such and such,..." It's getting old people.

Stop ****riding him. He's ran from every battle so people are entitled to want to see what he's made of. He showed a little on Saturday but Cortez reffing meant he was able to run like he usually does.

Oh yeah, and he'll be back because he's like you, he worships money.

[DiegoFuego]

I agree with most that it's going to take someone much bigger or taller/longer reach. I think Paul Williams like most of these guys are saying has the best chance. I would LOVE to see that fight more than any I can think of, probably since I was drooling over Castillo-Corrales I and we all know how that turned out

[xzworks]

Williams height won't matter because he doesn't use it to his advantage also Williams has a lazy jab which would allow PBF to slip the jab easy and be on the inside. I don't think Williams is good enough right now or will be within the next year to beat PBF unless he improves vastly next year.

watch margarito bout???

[Welter_Skelter]

Speaking of Williams.. and Margarito.. Willams did lose the last quarter of the fight.. So I think he still has lots to learn..

[Mr. Ryan]

The only fighters who can beat him are the younger guns like Cotto and Paul Williams who have the youth and ambition to go out there and give it everything. Mayweather won't fight the young guys though, it just doesn't make enough sense for him.

In all fairness, most fighters are like that. Look at what happened to Hopkins against Taylor. Taylor's nothing special but he got the job done.
