    what is type of style that can beat Floyd?

    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?

    Paul Williams is the toughest style match up for Floyd right now.

    Followed by Martinez, Pacquiao, then Ortiz.

    Yes, Martinez beat Williams, but style makes fights.

    Ortiz will be a tough fight, but out of those 4 names, he is the least toughest, but still has an okay chance at an upset.

    If Amir Khan can look good at 147, I would put him as #5.

          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?

            Personally I feel the style that beats Floyd is the fighter that can dictate distance. The best way to dictate distance? Jab. I mean a strong, fast, and long jab that can constantly keep Floyd on his toes and out of range.

            Hitman Hearns would give Floyd fits beyong belief. That would be his worst matchup.

                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.

                    A fighter with a good jab, quick hands, and very high workrate would give Floyd some issues.

                    Pac and Martinez would give Floyd problems, maybe even Khan.

                    As far as past fighters, Hearns, Leonard, Winky, and Forrest. I think Terry Norris would have beaten Floyd too.
