There is no one way to beat Floyd Mayweather.

The person who would beat Floyd Mayweather is the type of fighter Mayweather avoided his entire career.

A taller version of him.

Examples: Winky Wright and Bernard Hopkins.

Maidana went very close to beating him in their first fight with non-stop pressure and constant overhand rights.

When Leonard says, ",,, there is no one way to beat Floyd", I think he means you can't have just one game plan going in to the fight. Floyd's too smart, Ray goes on to say he'd have to get a feel for what Floyd's doing and use a lot of different tools in a fight with Floyd.
Great match-up, my money would be on Ray.

True, especially when you have paid judges in your corner.

True. Floyd only fought a couple of fighters who could match him in reach. Oscar was one of those fighters, and his jab gave Floyd trouble until he stopped throwing it. LOL

It’s ironic; Shane, SRL, Hearns, Duran, like many past, all fought series fights/rematches/trilogies with their arch rivals/nemesis MOVING UP IN WEIGHTS, yet Floyd didn’t want to claim the Lineal or Middleweight titles with Cotto or Canelo. Lol. Be it Shane vs DLH in rematches 7lbs apart, or others mentioned etc... even PAC, Barrera, Morales, Marquez... they all fought again with each other moving up in weight to entice how the performances would vary. This is why I always say GGG at 168 would be better or interesting..

but then you’ve got guys like Larry always saying, “but why does Floyd have to move up!? Duran never moved up in weight higher than Floyd!!” Lol

floyd ditched 144 w/ Marquez
didn’t give Canelo or Cotto rematches for the Middleweight title.

Mayweather has NEVER even made the 154lb weight limit, yet you expect him to go to middleweight LMAO. You casuals are too easy.

Did you just say that Floyd ducked Bernard Hopkins? What has happened on this forum since I left for a week.

If 147 and up was “always a handicap” then him choosing 146 from 144 with Marquez was a sham... and it was. So Duran was able to fight up to Super Middleweight even though some of his legendary performances even started below 147... you make it sound like Middlewight is exclusively at 160 when Floyd made 152 with Canelo. Both Cotto and Canelo did 155, Floyd did 154... so Floyd would be handicapped 1lb north for Middleweight?

You see. Mayweather, unlike Duran, trained year round and kept his weight low. That was simply how he fought. These middleweights walk around at 180-200lbs, Mayweather walked around at 150, he had to eat before his weigh ins for his 154lb fights.

[thebrownbomber_]

He did fight some of them, but not when they were in their primes.

No matter what the fanboys say, this will always cast shadow on his legacy.

And I assume mayweather was in his prime for all of those people?

If someone was to post a non Floyd nutthugging thread, this guy would cry the loudest.
