The Way to Beat Mayweather?

[andrewcuff]

Okay, so far we have:


#1 Vulnerable to a good jabber
#2 Open to body punches on the ropes because he generally moves to his right
#3 Telegraphs his lead right
#4 Not very comfortable when opponents leave him throw the first punch

the easiest way to beat floyd imho would be to have tremendous power and tremendous timing. Your power has to be so powerful floyd would think he's getting hit with bricks when you land. Your timing has to be so good you know what floyd is doing before he does it.

this is the core of what you need.

It wouldnt hurt if you have above average height, reach, chin, defense, handspeed, ring intelligence, foot speed, and other stuff either.

I think vernon forrest would be major trouble for floyd (roger said so himself somewhere). I also think tszyu would've been very tough for floyd, but tszyu does not have the height advantage of forrest.

Forrest would have been a world of trouble for Mayweather.

Zoo has nothing for Mayweather IMO.

wow ur a genius!!!! im sure none of his 39 opponents saw these things....... point is easier said than done homie...... this is the way to beat mayweather if he throws 0 punches at you.

Nuthugger alert!!! Aarrgrgh!!

Roach/Oscar noticed the jab flaw because when Oscar kept jabbing Floyd he had much more success. When he stopped jabbing he lost the rounds.

Okay, first off: this is not a hate thread! I rewatched the Oscar fight last night and the Judah fight today and it got me thinking about where Mayweather is vulnerable, and what would be the best gameplan to beat him. I've come up with the following so far:


#1 Vulnerable to a good jabber. He keeps his left hand low, across his body leaving himself open to a good jabber.
#2 Once he's been caught by a good few jabs, he brings his left up quite high and doesn't tuck his elbows in to his sides, therefore leaving him open to body pucnhes
#3 Looks very uncomfortable when fighters go to the body
#4 When he is setting up the lead right hand, he often "paws" with his jab a few times first, making it easier to anticipate the quick, lead right he throws

So what do some of you think are the ways to tag the elusive Floyd, while trying not to get too much by his quick, accurate punches?

there is no way to beat floyd all of those mean nothing floyd can adjust to any situation the most you can do is out work him and hope to get the decision

Why do people on this forum not seem to understand the fact that EVERY fighter has weaknesses? NO fighter is perfect and EVERY fighter can be beaten

Throw Mosley or Miguel Cotto in there with him, they'll show you the way to beat Floyd.

You have to be super fast (Judah) and a 12-round pressure fighter with a good jab

This fighter does not exist

Judah was the fastest on the planet but flamed out after 4 rounds
Hatton and Castillo are great pressure fighters but neither has a good jab
De La Hoya has a great jab but can't pressure for 12 rounds

if you combine all four of them, you can beat Floyd, but that simply doesn't exist

castillo beat mayweather

oscar only landed about 3-4 jabs so how succesful are you in match only landing 4 jabs and maybe the reason floyd got caught with those 4 jabs was because oscar was not jabbing so when he did throw a jab it was unexpected if oscar would of had a more consistant jab that night floyd would of just found a way around it

It's called Castillo. Watch the fight.
