    Shawn that is obvious. That's what Tarver did so brilliantly to offset Roy's advantages with boxing skill and speed.

    It's called timing.

    But it is different with Mayweather because he does many different things offensively. He leads with the left. He jabs. He throws rights over the top. He'll throw right hands over and under.

    He makes guys think. And in order to beat mayweather, you cant let it be a thinking match.

      If you throw your left hook as soon as you see this tell, you will catch Floyd flush on the jaw with a left hook every time.

      Everyone thinks pressure is the answer to Floyd, its not. The answer is timing. by timing that left hook on his tell, you not only catch him coming in, but you catch him off guard.

      Watch one of Floyds fights, if you know what you are looking for, you can predict his Right hands like clockwork.

      When I predicted Oscar over Floyd I had assumed Freddie Roach had approached Oscar with a better plan then lots of pressure. I assumed Freddie would play to Oscars strength, the left hook, but sadly they did what everyone and their mother has tried to do, pressure Floyd.

      Had Oscar timed Floyd's right hand, I still firmly believe he would have knocked Floyd out stone cold.
      All in all, it's gonna take boxing smarts to beat floyd, not brawn. These fools will never learn. I think Vernon Forrest would be the one to time floyd correctly.

          Shawn, if it was that easy Floyd would be defeated.

          It's not as simple as you put it, countering the right hand with the left hook.

          Floyd makes you think which is why you cant counter his shots as easily as you put.

          Funny.

            Honestly, you are about as ignorant as they come. Arguing with you is pointless because you are not aware that you are wrong.

              How are you right, shawn?

              You do realizing that you are pointing to a single punch that will beat Floyd?

              It is true that alot of times fighter's practice a certain move or punch to beat a certain fighter. Like with Mayweather saying at the post fight interview that he and his team practiced the check hook. Or even Hops planning the right hand over the top when Taylor dropped his left hand.

              Even in MMA with GSP practicing the leg kick when he went for a shoot.

              But it's not as easy as you put.....

                Obviously its not easy, you are fighting Floyd Mayweather, I didn't say everyone and their mother could beat Floyd by doing that. You asked me to point out a weakness in Floyd's style, I did.

                  But it is a single punch, man. A single counter.

                  You dont think if he gets hit with a timed shot that he may adapt and use a different style.

                  I mean, he did with Judah when he got floored. And he has his entire career.

                    A fundamental flaw such as a tell cannot be changed during the course of a fight. All Floyd can do is stop throwing right hands, in which case he will lose rounds, and still get beat.

                      You're right. that flaw is engrained (sp?) in him.

                      But Floyd CAN do his best to hide that flaw, and he clearly has.
