    If you are fast enough you can counter him, overhand right must be possible too.

    Faster than Floyd Mayweather???

    It's all about the jab. Also make him lead if possible.

        I envision a style like Winky Wright would be nightmares for Floyd.

        Hell of a jab.
        Reach because of his long as **** arms.
        A very good defense.
        Southpaw.

          Tall lengthy fighter with a great jab who is fast and has great defense.

          Someone like Winky Wright. I'd say Vernon Forrest, but I think Floyd could be too elusive for him. Paul Williams too, but he seems to keep his left really low and can't deal with elusiveness.

          edit: Oh wow, deliveryman said pretty much the exact same thing. I forgot southpaw too.

            You get Zab Judah. You give him Arturo Gatti's heart, Pernell's slickness and moves, and Joe Frazier's stamina, and B-Hop's knowledge. The End. Lol.

              It's not the style that your looking at. Obviously Winky would give Floyd absolute hell because he's so much bigger he could bully his way through while keeping his shield up.

              But if it's the actual "turtle" style that you think would give Floyd problems, just imagine him in the ring with say a Joshua Clottey. Clottey is extremely good and just as active as a Winky Wright, but because he's not 2-3 weight classes bigger than Floyd like Winky, Floyd is able to out-point him in a pretty easy but boring fight. That style doesn't have the foot movement to keep up.
