lol yeah maul him ahahah like it has never been tried before. That style didnt work at all against Leonard who was slick on his feet ( beside the first fight where Leonard fought ******ly). People are obsessed with agression, power, ko, they all think that people like Duran, Margarito, Pacquiao would beat Floyd... That's why Floyd is undefeated, people know **** about boxing...
People need to try something different against Floyd, I think somebody with a GREAT jab can bother Floyd. The time Ive seen Floyd the most bothered was trying to avoid Oscar and Cottos jab. Also a guy with equivalent speed and footwork would cause him trouble.
A guy like Leonard would have given Floyd problems, not the Margaritos Matthysse and Pacquiaos of this world...

And of course the old, "Leonard fought ******ly" argument. No, Leonard fought like he always did and Duran beat him.

Duran is the king of skilled pressure fighters. Boxers trying to pressure him and failing like Guerrero doesn't mean pressure doesn't work.

Sugar Ray Leonard: "I said I would fight Duran flat-footed and I did. People questioned whether I could take the big punch. I showed them. I have to give Duran a lot of credit. He is the toughest man I've ever fought."

I have a feeling Canelo is going to surprise us and come into the fight the leanest he's ever been and will not weigh in the 170's on fight night.
