Using floyd's strength against him

[leathernvouges]

I was just thinking how floyd's best weapon is is elusiveness and defense, has there been any of his opponents that have tried to make him chase them instead of the other way around and would u think this would be a good strategy. Just look @ Lara and how he's longer and just as elusive therefore would make Floyd have to come after him and take more risk in order to win the fight?

You can come in and try any tactic, you'll end up fighting his fight and chasing him by the end. It really doesn't matter.

There's a reason every guy ends up doing the same thing and afterwards regretting their tactics. They all say the same things about where they went wrong, they shouldn't regret trying to chase him and taking his head off, it's not their fault, he just has ways of making everyone fall into the same trap. Put them back in the ring the next day with the knowledge of where they went wrong and they will be back in the trap within a few rounds. Berto should take some pride in that he did all he could ever do and didn't do worse than a lot of fighters considered above him, probably did better than some.

It is what it is, nobody around those weight classes stand any chance of beating him. Put any of them in the ring and most fights will be a carbon copy of each other, them chasing him around the ring trying to land a big shot. It makes no difference. Put them in the ring for 120 rounds and they still won't land it.

You're right about that but all I can think of are come forward fighters that he's fought and the reason I mention Lara is because he's not the typical fighter I'm not saying he would win or lose I'm asking would making him chase u be a good strategy

Distance control is everything when you're fighting Floyd Mayweather, if you can't use distance deception against him you won't be in range to hit him, once u get in range and he sees it he's out cuz of foot speed and reflexes, you have to subtley close the distance by going in behind feints and by changing levels, things I've never seen Lara do on a high level. I just don't see how lara can put together good enough offense in a fight like this.

Floyd will definitley come forward more in this fight, his straight right is very quick, accurate and long especially against southpaws, and this would make the difference in the fight.

People who've tried this tactic just get pot-shotted.

Personally I don't understand why nobody ever tried to bulldoze him, seriously rough him up whilst combining it with a Joe Calzaghe-like punch output.
