        You can't outbox fighters like Mayweather, Crawford, Loma, you can only box on their level in a close competitive fight and hope the judges will score it in your favor. You can't KO Mayweather either - dude got a hell of a chin, his ability to take a punch was very underrated

          yes because maidana is so blazing fast lmao. spence is great at cutting the ring off. floyd would have nothing for him. even flat footed canelo easily got floyd on the ropes but he couldnt land anything effective because hes not that type of fighter. spence knows how to pick his punches and go to the body and being southpaw would make it hard for floyd to roll punches on the ropes. terrible style match up for floyd. berto? wtffff.

              If professional trainers and fighters can't figure it out I sure can't. But I can go by what I've seen and the fighters that bagged the most rounds against Floyd were Castillo, Cotto, De La Hoya and Maidana and they all did it by applying pressure.

                I think a lot of people beat Mayweather. Like with Canelo there's a lot of smoke and mirrors to his resume.

                Obviously the swarmers stand the best chance being that his real style is that of an outboxer. Outboxing him, off the top of the head the only one I'd favor heavily is Hearns.

                  Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto 2006-2008, Antonio Margarito 2007-2008, Paul Williams, Ricky Hatton at 140, Manny Pacquiao 2009-2010, but nope. He had to "retire" for two years.

                  There is a reason Mayweather said "We are not fighting to prove who's the best" When he got confronted by Margarito.

                    pac won 7 rounds as well and that was by outboxing him in the center of the ring. making floyds punches come up short and hitting him with the much cleaner punches. great masterclass by pac against a supposed master boxer. only problem was people expected the old swarmer pac and so he didnt get credit for outboxing floyd but if you watch the film he def won.

                      Please don't start. They will say everything from margorito, Ronda rosney, and GGG.
