    watch the first Jose Luis castillo fight. The answer lies there. (Or at least one answer) More below

    1. Just let your hands fly. Everyone who tries to box with Mayweather doesnt do to well. 2. Another strategy(Hatton tried but failed) Is to turn it into a street fight, rough him up use veteran tactics like b-hop and Toney and some of the veteran fighters do. (I.e when the ref isnt looking or is on the side opposite that you are trying to hit, then hit him in the thighs and such) 3. Lastly check the Ike Ibeabuchi vs Chris Byrd fight. Ike had the answer for immense speed. When someone is so fast you dont try to go headhunting like many do against Floyd. You can move your head all night but your body cannot move as Chris Byrd was taught in such a brutal fashion. Take Floyds body away and then you can land some of the shots to his jaw that you need to take him outta there.

      He is so used to people chasing him, thats what he likes.
      I still think the best tactic to beat Floyd is..
      1) Do not attack Floyd at all
      2) Do not move foward let him make the fight alone
      3) keep moving away
      4) Only engage Floyd after he comes in and attack using counters or time him when he comes in

        Maybe let Floyd come in and try to counter.


        1) Do not attack Floyd
        2) Do not move foward......let him make the fight on his own
        3) keep moving away
        4) Only engage Floyd after he comes in and attack using counters or time him when he comes in


        Any other ideas?
        Take his punches and punch harder.

          It starts at the press conference. Talk about his kids and say you would stomp on his kid's testicles. Yes you have to go that low. Maybe getting Floyd mad and getting under his skin may get him off of his game.

            haha

            Well Floyd is a narcissist, so youd have to attack him personally to get the best result..

            The worst thing to do would obviously be when he gets in your face at the press conference ..eat a bunch of gross foods before the conference and projectile vomit on him, I think that would piss anyone off haha

                I think Spinks could give some trouble to Floyd. Spinks wouldn't probably beat him but he would give Floyd some trouble. The fight isn't happening though, unless Spinks becomes the unified LMW champion or something.

                Yeah I agreee... spinks is one quick guy... but overall... floyd still has the better tools

                  I don't really think there is a strategy to beat PBF. I think the person to beat PBF just going to somehow beat him. PBF can make so many adjustments that the other person is going to have to constantly make adjustments. So with that type of fight there really is no strategy you just have to fight. Judah tried to box adjustments were made but no adjustments were made on Judah's part. All the pressure fighters tried to pressure, PBF made adjustment no adjustments were really made on the pressure fighters side. So its going to take a person who can adjust to the adjustments which would make for a great fight and possibly a great ending to that fight.

                  What fight were you Judah fans watching. PBF made adjustments and Judah didn't or couldn't make adjustments to the adjustments that PBF made and that was basically the end of the fight. PBF made those adjustments and that is what ****ed Judah's mind up beacause he didn't know what to do after that. Judah even with his mind focused for 12 rounds would still lose. Judah only won 3 rounds which IMO were 1,2& 4.

                    have a Plan: B, C, D,... etc. Because only having one Plan "A" will probably fail.
