Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer Explains How to Beat Floyd Mayweather

[Willthethrill]

Im not to fond of mayweather either but when it comes to opposition, floyds recently fought the bettet comp-maidana, canelo> algieri, vargas..hell even khan would be a step up for Pac and i hate thay dude, he belongs nowhere in discussions regarding a floyd fight..p4p brook is a more solid opponent than brook at 147

What about Tim bradley? Isn't he higher p4p than maidana or canelo? Besides canelo and maidana are beyond Tailor-made for floyd

WTF?

That looks great (albeit a touch simple) on paper but in reality this type of tactical dissection of a fighters technique rarely (if ever works) under the lights.

To beat Floyd you have to make him fear you. You beat the man NOT the boxer.

Defensively Floyd is almost impossible to breakdown using any other tactics than aggressive pressure and unconventional angles.

You won't be able to out think Floyd in a boxing ring, but the right man can out fight him.

Just my opinion.

I gotcha. Easier said than done i know, floyds one of the finest boxers to step through the ropes so havibg success is no simple task. Floyd shines especially against other talented fighters, real talent-someone with an awkward unorthodox style would give floyd a different look whether that translate to success is a different story..

My original post is a broef summary of flpyd attributes..he also has very long legs and long reach and he uses them well to his advantage-you would need some with a reach d height advantage who has good handspeed as well as power-floyd can be timed

Guess Maidana and Canelo is not hard punchers. That's why Floyd needs to test himself against bigger, stronger, harder punching fighters like Golovkin and Kovelev. Actually, since Klitchko just won his fight Floyd should challenge him too.

Come on man, we all know FRAUD has been ducking Wladimir for years.. you ever heard him bring up his name? Me either.. Ducking is his specialty.

The last 5 opponents Floyd has had have already Deployed this strategy. JDJ is saying it like its profound, but its something we've heard over and over. hit him "Everywhere". Has never worked against Floyd.

Buddy McGirt same the same thing when he was training Gatti.

"Hit him everywhere"

would be interesting to read this thread if this was the recommendation for beating a fighter NSB really likes.

So you're gonna act as if Bradley is NOT tailored made for Floyd.. the guy prides himself on taking a beating with his massive robocop head, defensive skills are mediocre, and has conditioning issues.. Floyd would beat the breaks off Timmy.. Stylistically the only guy not tailored for Floyd is Khan due to height, jab and speed.

Khan is more taylored for Floyd than Timmy.

At least Tim hits what he punches at...Khan has to throw 200 punches at the air just to land one...that's when he's not running and getting countered like crazy.

Hitting the air isn't going to beat Peterson let alone Floyd.

Maybe he can give Mayweather the flu with the breeze coming off all his wild flailing punches,other than that,he's getting picked apart.

Tim was a good win. The 1st fight wasnt legit so that doeant shoot bradley up the p4p list, granted Pac disnt look so good in that either(engaging the last few seconds doesnt win the round) Bradley legitimately made the p4p list with his win over marquez so pac gets full credit for the 2nd encounter..which imo is his best win at 147 in a few years, bradley was better accustomed to the weight and built a nice profile at 147 before their rematch

[elishua F]

In any other sport this guy would get fined to death and suspended.

"To guard Kobe you must hit him everywhere, the arms, the nuts,kick him, tackle him.." just imagine. .

What JDJ is REALLY saying if you read between the lines is there is no way to beat Floyd, no strategy, no gameplan, there's nothing you can do.

I don't hear nobody telling Algieri to be dirty vs Pacquiao, all they say is use the jab and footwork to outbox him.. that's it, no fouls needed

Can people once and for all stop hating and acknowledge Floyd as the G.O.A.T.

[krazyn8tive]

Just throwing it out there...I'd take John David Jackson's word on how to beat mayweather over a bunch of floydiot computards. You guys are ridiculous.
