If Floyd only wins fights by "running" and "jabbing" all night, why don't............

Hard to do against the faster guy in the ring. How can you out run and out jab the faster guy in the ring. It's been tried before. See Zab Judah and Canelo Alvarez.

Your best chance is to smother him and hope you don't got get shafted on the cards like Jose Luis Castillo.

Because people will be like "Floyd putting on a MASTERCLASS" 12-0, the other guy ran the whole night and landed just jabs! Couldn't touch Floyd!

I.e. A Lara-Floyd fight (if Lara doesn't try to press)

Lara is the only guy who can do that but it doesn't make bidness sense right guise.

Floyd is capable of waking opponents down and being the aggressor

**W1LLPARK3R** · 07-01-2015, 05:46 PM

He has in earlier fights but he hasn't really opened up offensively in awhile. Floyd would probably not be an aggressor at this point in his career..

Why don't other fighters try it on him?

Why not attempt to box off the back foot and force him to be the aggressor?

Very few fighters (if any) could pull that off. Can you think of one?

Other than that, no reason.

How many fighters are really good fighting off of the backfoot?

**-Kev-** · 07-01-2015, 06:21 PM

Because Floyd can do it all. If you try to box him, he will walk you down. If you try to be overly aggressive towards him and you are bigger, he will box you. He has no excuse for any style, he has an answer. Limited fighters have excuses. Like "If he stayed in one place, I could have thrown more punches".

We were doing so well. The Floyd threads were scarce. Can we keep it that way please?
