Whats the best strategy vs Floyd?

Get a time capsule go back to the early 1980's and pick up Sugar Ray Leonard. Or get Duran in his prime at 135.

Miguel Angel Cotto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Floyd doesnt like to be jabbed nor pressure. Cotto do both extremely well, plus his pressure and agrression is a mesure one not a wild one!!!!!!!!!

Cotto would have a great chance. He has all the physical tools needed and he seems to be more patient in his approach too.

Floyd has several weakness which I talked about in a thread I made recently. Overcoming his physical skills isn't the biggest difficulty though, its fooling his boxing brain.

He is very smart in the ring and has a Plan B, a Plan C etc. You need discipline and focus, for every minute of every round, which I think is the most difficult aspect of beating the man.

For example, Oscar provided part of the blueprint for beating him, but stopping throwing his jab, which allowed Floyd to win several easy rounds against him.

Good post. Even if Oscar did keep throwing it I think Floyd would have made an adjustment tho(or maybe he even did). No one dimensional guy is gonna beat Floyd. All Margarito can do is come forward in a str8 line Floyd would box circles around him. Cotto would present some problems but I think Floyd still beats him after figuring him out.

Cotto's footspeed is slow. Floyd would time him over and over coming in. Cotto would have his moments but I don't think he can win a 12 round decision. And Floyd(unlike Shane) isn't gonna stand in front of Cotto trading with him. It'd be competitive since Floyd doesn't fight 3 mins of every round but I can't see Cotto winning.

Its possible Cotto loses his focus out of frustration of havin trouble landing on Floyd...he got upset against Urkal.

Thats why I have always thought that if FLoyd fights Cotto hell lose. theres always someone whos style will **** you up. And Cotto is that man for Floyd.

He have the tools to exploit PBF weakness(yes he have weakness, despite what his nuthuggers says). theres 3 things that Floyd have prensented problems, Pressure, Jabbing and body punching. And Cotto have a great accuaret jab, with great timming, he is the best body puncher in the game and his type of pressure is kind of frustrating, because is so measure, that it makes his opponents to get a bit desperated and they lead instead of wait for him, and thats when he uses his counter punching at his best!!!!!!!!!!!!

He got upset with Urkal, because he was headbutting Cotto like crazy, nothing more.

Cotto have the type of pressure and boxing skills that will presented a lot of problems against Floyd. Plus Cottos timming is as good as Mayweather

True. Floyd is faster in the hands than Cotto though and his elusiveness would give Cotto problems. Regardless of what anyone will say I'll feel Floyd would beat Cotto. If anyone right now would beat Floyd at 147 tho I'd pick Cotto.

Pretty much any ATG with a size advantage can beat Mayweather. Why do you think of Leonard specifically?
