What gameplan/boxing style defeats Mayweather?

[tommyg6]

I'd like to make a civilized discussion on which fighter would best represent the best style to beat the undefeated & incredibly slick Floyd Mayweather.

Many have tried, many have failed but in your mind, what would be the best strategy or what type of fighter would be needed to defeat someone like Mayweather?

Unrelenting pressure (ALA Maidana, Margarito) type of pressures that is never afraid to take a punch to punch.

Boxing outside his range. (requires good defense and must be taller and longer than floyd)

Counter punching (Must be taller and longer than floyd and has fast reaction time and handspeed.) Needing A level ring I.Q to when to hit and when to not hit.

Awkwardness (A freaky jerky fighter that has great stamina, that sets him off.)

49 style have tried 0 have figured it out.

And sadly, none of the 49 attempts were an A level fighter in their primes.

Emmanuel Burton had me convinced for a hot minute. The boy was literally walking through flush, FAST combinations and returning connecting punches on a prime PBF's face, then smiling when he walked back. It was freaky.

Money Mayweather? Not sure any of the current crop stylistically beats TBE.

Paul Williams ticks three out of four of those boxes

Paul Williams ticks three out of four of those boxes

Two out of five.

Counter punching was not Williams' forte. That assumes you don't get nailed on the counter punch like he frequently did.

The fifth, not mentioned, is a rock solid chin - which Williams certainly did not have.

spence would destroy him. a much bigger, more precise and more powerful version of maidana who is a southpaw and is a great body puncher. then again floyd would never fight a guy like this so he would stay undefeated.

Castillo. A guy like Lara, fast, long range, quick feet, had decent pop, 1-2's all day baby.

Spence fights flat footed and he punches slow. Mayweather would blow him out because Spence would never get close and would be chasing him around the ring, getting countered all night long. Same fight flow as Mayweather/Berto.
