Does anyone think a good jab would work floyd?

[D4thincarnation]

Khan - has the jab and speed to land on Floyd. But he doesn't have the chin to apply sound pressure like Oscar and Castillo did. If you're going to try to pressure Floyd, you have to be able to back it up with a chin. Khan is kind of shaky in the dept if you ask me.

Pac - has the speed and power to land on Floyd. But he doesn't have a jab. Pac also has the chin to back up a pressurized style if had to apply one.

Martinez - He has power, a descent jab, good speed, and a pretty good chin. In other words, he's good in all areas, but I don't think he's "great" in any.

Out of those 3 fighters, I give the best chance to Pac.

It would be nice if Floyd would fight at least one of them to put the matter to rest and take out the guess work for the fans.

agreed 100%

it's like saying

what if Floyd faced ________ he's never really faced a good ______


you could put in a few different aspects and create a debate

in the end Floyd is extremely talented but not infallible

however very few have had much success on Floyd and there is a reason why

haters will say it's because he hasn't faced ________ (insert whatever flavor of the month trait to beat floyd)

fans will say it's because he is impeccable at what he does (even though they cannot quite describe what he does)

the truth is somewhere in the middle of the two

It's not difficult to see what he does. He's always very fit, and he happens to be gifted to the extent of being able to move as soon as he sees what you intend. He has top class reflexes, and it is this which I think makes him so hard to pin. He also has a very agile boxing mind, and it's geared towards defence. So putting these together makes a very difficult guy to beat.

But nobody is unbeatable, or nobody was. before modern times, guys didn't have the luxury of being able to wait for months and study potential opponents, to be able to pick out enough weak spots so as to be able to beat them. That's what Mayweather does and he won't fight ANY guy until or unless he can see a big enough group of weaknesses he can capitalise on and make sure of winning.

He (and his Brains Trust) slipped up a couple of times resulting in unexpectedly VERY tough fights where he really had to FIGHT. One was with Emanuel Burton/Augustus, and another was against Jose Luis Castillo.
