What's the formula to beat Floyd?

[ELPacman]

Don't sign the contact forcing Mayweather to fight a threat.

floyd has a few flaws that a WW can exploit:

1) economical with punch output
2) can get stuck in a defensive shell for stretches
3) little power at WW
4) not stronger than a real WW

so what do you need to beat floyd?

1) be busy
2) have stamina to stay busy
3) be willing to take one (since floyd doesn't throw 2) to land one
4) push floyd around the ring

that means the only guy at WW that can beat floyd is mosley.

I agree. I'm a Floyd fan. One of his flaws is sometimes his strategy. He waits too long to figure out or attack an opponent. A lot of that comes from his corner. Roger's strategy is always the same. Pot shot and let the opponent wear himself out. Against a fast and aggressive opponent, he would lose too many of the early rounds. In the later rounds, is where Floyd picks it up. Floyd uses this to his advantage with fighters who tire in the later rounds due to poor conditioning. Mosley has excellent stamina, he's fast, and aggressive. This will definitely be a problem for Floyd, because if he doesn't start early he'll be behind on the scorecards.

Be a real world -class welter weight! This guy, for all of his talent, is not the most couragous boxer in the ring. He actually fights like he's scared to get punched. That's why he seldom puts any real hurt on fighters who are clearly inferior to him. Besides that, it is amazing to me how MW has manage to con the boxing public in general with his act. His fights rarely lives up to the hype--yet he still manages to gain world-wide support for his matches. Let us see him in a meaningful match with a real-live welter-weight such as SSM, Cotto or even Clottey and then if he defeats them in impressive fashion then, and only then, should high praise be warranted. Until then, all of his bouts should be boy-cotted.

co-sign to the fullest. very well said Elder.

so anyway---like i posted earlier you have to out-think him to beat him---i don't see anybody doing that---not shane, cotto, williams, pac, or anybody else...

[pbftxrs316]

*sigh*


noone knows who the Top WW is...its just a matter of opinion

and Mayweather was the Last REAL WW CHAMP..not this vacant title mess...

agreed...to the fullest...

[One - Shot]

too easy for a southpaw to beat pbf...just set the timing, of you must have power, counter his punches, be always agressive...stay on his fackin face and ktf him out.

[mercadojglb]

Here is the formula:
1. Southpaw; a righty could still have a chance
2. Need to have same reach as Mayweather or higher
3. Don't walk in front of him
4. Have a decent defense and chin
5. Be aggressive

Yeah but I keep hearing he and his team screwed up in making weight and had trouble getting which is all the more proof that he doesn't belong in that division. I agree though floyd will get in that ass but if paul was in as good a condition as i've seen him at his best then I think he could give him some trouble. I said how floyd would win that fight on another thread though.

Then why fight and then make excuses?

[JM1]

Outwork him. **** accuracy and **** power, just swarm the guy and don't allow him to get off punches.

yep. and it would also help if his opponent is fast and a southpaw

[Jiddu Dali]

yep. and it would also help if his opponent is fast and a southpaw

like corley or Judah?
