what is type of style that can beat Floyd?

[tangalog2200]

Floyd would have an absolute field day with Paul Williams.

Martinez & Ortiz based on both of their styles have the best theoretical shot, but neither one beats Floyd.

Pacquiao has absolutely NO shot whatsoever at beating Floyd. Mainly because Floyd isn't going to allow him to Juice if they were to eventually step in the ring with eachother. Where is all that unlimited non-stop punching & workrate going to come from without all of that EPO in his system?

Nobody active boxer today in the vacinity of 147 beats Floyd.

another senseless ost thread????? pbf beats pac very easily if pac is NOT on peds? come on man....be real.....pbf wont fight pac, cotto etc, bcoz it is only by protecting his 0 can pbf lay claim as being a great fighter....having a 0 is not pbf's kingdom,,,,others have also the same 0 pbf is basing his greatness on......

honestly noone can beat floyd right now in his weight class.

Pac will make your boy quit and cry. That is why he was asking for OST he never been done to his 40 previous opponents.

didn't people for years been saying a pressure fighter with power is Floyds achilles heel? and Floyd struggles against southpaws especially with speed

if you could pick one boxer around Floyds weight class who have these abilities who would you pick?


Add accuracy and youth and you got




so why some of you saying this is a tune fight?

From watching the first rounds of Mayweather vs. Mosley, I would say Mosley's style. Too bad Shane was old. I'm 100% sure that if Shane was Mayweathers age, he would have stopped Floyd.

[tangalog2200]

Mayweather would eat Williams for breakfast, though I think a fighter like Tommy Hearns would give Mayweather all kinds of trouble. Debiliating power, fights tall, can adjust, warrior heart.

Or Ray Leonard with his great all round skills, I think you need a great jab to put Floyd off his rhythm (even though he says he says no rhythm)

But like he says, there is no blueprint, so for now...who the **** knows?

no blue print? pbf had already lost to pac even without going up the ring.....it now appears pbf had still nothing in mind how to deal with pac's relentlessness, power, speed and no fear to trade attitude (except to use the ost, vacation etc excuses to avoid pac). Pbf will also not fight cotto or marg on the alibi he does not want to fight pac leftover he he he

[fishman]

agreed. Martinez gives floyd a problem. Does he beat him? Too close to call but definitely gives him cause for concern. Pac too. Both are close fight s and could go either way. You could argue it to death but thats the best answer you can get without actually seeing the fight. The PED conversation is a dead horse already. Sure Pac has used them, not possible to move up in weight like that naturally at the age he did. Its just not. If you think PBF never used a PED, to gain weight or heal an injury then your in the dark. The conversation should be to what degree are they used and what degree of advantage is gained from them.

It remains to be seen. Wasn't Floyd's last loss in the Olympics when he was robbed against that southpaw?

a non stop pressure fighter...

that's the first key in winning a floyd fight. there's no other way. so stamina is important.

[brick wall]

so ortiz is a pressure fighter now

[tomhawq]

ortiz needs the best conditioning coach he can find in this fight. training to beat a certain style will definitely take time. this fight will be a learning experience for ortiz. he can't just drop old habits overnight.

most important thing is mental conditioning, which i think is the key to his victory in the berto fight. he saw himself winning that fight, which is why he never gave up and kept coming back. berto may not have been the best fighter to prove the point, but a success like that builds confidence.
