How do you beat Floyd

[the_ilest]

you have to be like heavy weight like wladamir klitshoko or maybe vitali to have a sure chance of winning... other then that no way in hell mayweather lossing.

Must have speed. Mosley's Power. Ability to mix up the offense (smarts), and you have to have defense. You pretty much have to be a Great like stated.

Floyd got caught with Mosley's straight right because he wasn't expecting it. Shane actually bundled it as a 1-2 that Floyd didn't anticipate. Mosley could have won this fight if he was a smarter guy. Combo traps seem like a very good ploy to use against Floyd if you have great power. You have to have more than 1 punch or a look for Jr. clearly. If he takes away your best shot, and you have no other way of getting to him, you're done for.

Short of catching him with a big shot...what is the strategy in beating him? I would think you would have to beat him at his own game...speed, defense, countering, pot-shotting...A fighter like Devon Alexander, I think, would have the correct style, but he is small...

Manny Pacquiao.

[SplitSecond]

jab to the body and throw a hayemaker whilst moving foward to your left

southpaws have it easy, a straight left will be easier to land

obviously everyone goes in with a plan, but when you get picked apart, the plan goes out the window and your gun shy cuz u dont wanna be countered and you feel slow and incapable compared to your opponent(floyd)

You have to be great like he is...

You have to counter adjust his adjustments...

Only a SPECIAL fighter could beat prime Floyd...

[el malo]

by finishing him off when you got him hurt in the second round.

Mosley was trying to beat him at his own game. If you let Floyd control the pace, you will not beat him, simple as that. You just have to do what you do best, if you are good enough at it you'll give him trouble.
