Could Floyd Mayweather get outboxed? (If so, by who?)

[Mike D]

Brandon Rios uses his supreme athletic agility to box circles around Floyd -- darting in and out quickly while getting his 7 punch combos off at virtual will.

Rios 11-1 UD.

[-Antonio-]

Lara 8-4


Dude will never fight lara. But both got al haymon,but like with PW
Al haymon steers him away.

It's no secret there are certain fighters Floyd would never fight as brilliant as he is. He would never have fought Wiliams and he will never fight Lara. He never would have fought Martinez. Apparently the Wright fight was close at one point. I don't believe that for a second.

I also don't think he ever would have fought Margarito if say he had the hype of Canelo. He would have shut Margarito out, but I don't think he would habe wanted to go through it either way. At 140 I don't think he's is nervous about anybody. At 147-154 he knows his physical advantages aren't quite the same.

Name the last time Floyd fought someone taller with a longer reach than him aside from Oscar. It rarely happens.

And no Manny never had a chance to outbox Floyd....people were picking him to maybe ko floyd but never outbox him

Would you say Manny has a chance to win on the cards with a competitive fight?

You mean outboxing as in a 9 to 3 or 8 to 4 or better decision win correct?

Maidana is more substantial than ghost and baldomir though. I never understand when someone says Maidana is like them. Please explain this mentality.

Ghost's fighting style is all bark no bite at world level. He tries to be imposing but has small pop and his shots are easy to see and time. Baldomir, well he was relentless but never had the chin power and fighting brain chino has. And people say chino is slow (I disagree based on recent footage) but baldomir was Sllllow.

Maidana is closer to a prime Castillo with some difference in ring generalship and power or a Jesus Chavez with a lot more power than either of those two you guys keep hashing up.

Maidana fights nothing like them

Maidana fights nothing like them

Fights more like them than like baldomir and ghost. And that was my point.

And Floyd's plan B of pressuring the southpaw wouldn't work on Pac. Pac would chew his ass up, and spit his ass out.

And I feel like I'm talking to Larry's alt. Be a fuggin man and debate me 1 on 1. Stop using your corny alts ya pussi boy.

I don't know Larry.. lol. 2nd, There isn't much to debate. Pacman was a great fighter back then in his prime, almost scary how good he was from 08-10. I'm reasonable, and if I thought Floyd had some kind of weakness in his game to lose to Pac I would admit it, I'm not that guy. Pacman has been knocked down numerous times, which is the cause of his fighting style of old. Pacman has been knocked unconscious with one blow. Pacman has valid losses besides the head scratching decision to Bradley. And his wars with Marquez. Mayweather has shown technically he is almost untouchable, and when he is touched, which is usually in the early rounds, he adapts quite well and starts to hold advantages over his opponents from then on. This is the average Floyd fight.

Am I missing something? What is so special about Pac's style that will "expose" Floyd as they say? Is it his power? Pac is pretty powerful, but it is highly unlikely to knock out Mayweather with 1 punch, much less knock him down. Do you think he will land combinations on Floyd to finish a fight? This is highly unlikely as well. I guess this will boil down to the cards and winning by points. Floyd is a points boxer, that is what he does! That is what he is a master at, hitting and not getting hit, it is not very exciting, but it wins fights, and obviously to Floyd, this is very important. Maybe not to us boxing fans, because in my opinion, his fights can be boring! Who would not rather watch 2 guys fighting their hearts out barely edging one another out skill wise. This has been proving quite hard as finding a quality opponent to de throne Floyd's run. Pac is great, but he doesn't have the skillset to out point Floyd, therefore, I believe he will not only lose, but lose big on points.

By the way, chill with all the trash talk, me and you are not the same when talking boxing kid.

I 2nd this..

[Syf]

Seconded.

You articulated that very, very well. I never looked at it in terms of balance. Very good.

Cool...

I'm amazed how people think only one type of fighter can beat Floyd, and don't give physical guys a chance even though Floyd's most contested win was over a physical guy

Larry, get a life. You're weird, dude. You're literally a ******. You're not even breaking down or analyzing anything. You're using some beginner boxer rhetoric, and filling up the page so you can seem knowledgeable. This whole break down is, "Pac got KOd when he first started out, got KO'd by JMM, and "lost" to Bradley. Surely you can't be this dumb.

Am I missing something? What is so special about Pac's style that will "expose" Floyd as they say? Is it his power? Pac is pretty powerful, but it is highly unlikely to knock out Mayweather with 1 punch, much less knock him down. Do you think he will land combinations on Floyd to finish a fight?

This right here is why I know you don't know anything about boxing, and have no idea what critical thinking is. You have a basic mind, and can only analyze in basic ways.

This is highly unlikely as well. I guess this will boil down to the cards and winning by points. Floyd is a points boxer, that is what he does! That is what he is a master at, hitting and not getting hit, it is not very exciting, but it wins fights, and obviously to Floyd, this is very important.

Yes, Floyd is a point fighter, that hasn't faced a damn person that could really test him. Again, your logic is basic. "Floyd is a point fighter, he can't be beaten on the cards." You're a very basic level thinker.

By the way, chill with all the trash talk, me and you are not the same when talking boxing kid.

Larry, stop using alts, and debate me 1 on 1. You can't. You're a basic level thinker, and I can clearly see that by this post. It literally has no substance, and only a bunch of words to make it look like you're saying something.

You're talking to Larry's alt. He's trying to play the, "I'm not biased" card, and act like he's not Larry.
