Why do Floyds opponents always try to pressure him?

Because you can't outbox Floyd.

Maybe someone should at least try. Marquez is a boxer counterpuncher, thats his forte so why would it suit him to change his game to a pressure fighter.

I was JUST about to say that. Gatti tried to box and......yea.

I think it should be smart pressure based behind a ****load of jabs. A ****LOAD of jabs.

I hope Marquez doesnt do this, he should put all the pressure on Floyd to make the fight since it is his return bout. Let the fans boo and force Floyd move forward.

Floyd is too strong and too fast for him, will hit him straight thru his guard.

haha @ the argument "Well Gatti tried to box him."

Gattis only prayer in that fight was to shoot Floyd. It made no sense why he would try to box, I think he figured he would survive longer via the boxing.

Yeah, that would be smart.

You can't just stay boxing against Floyd because the man can and will adjust. You have t switch it up, Corley stunned him with a couple counter punches.

I have a mental picture in my mind on how JMM will put pressure. Which is putting pressure on him and making him back up, but at the same time making Mayweather lead so he can counter. That would be a great tactic, if he can do that. Ricky Hatton did it, but he had no defense to make Floyd miss the lead right and counter.
