I have the blueprint on how to beat Floyd Mayweather

[LoadedWraps]

I am pretty sure I have the blueprint on how to beat Floyd. It's a relatively simple strategy, but it's not easy to execute.

The tools you need?

- Quick jab (doesn't have to be too powerful, just quick)
- Willingness and commitment to punch WITH Floyd as he pot shots
- Feints
- Commitment to stick to strategy (focus)

Disclaimer: I am talking about the highly mobile version of Floyd that showed up against Guerrero. In his new found focus on defense, this will likely be the Floyd we see for the foreseeable future unless he loses his legs. However, many of these principles would work against the less mobile Floyd as well.

I am thinking about breaking this down via video. Not sure yet.

Literally every person in the world can have the blueprint to beat him and the chances of finding somone to execute it to the T and still outthink him in the ring is slim to none. Sorry to burst your bubble. Me and people at my gym always talk about how to beat him and there is really nothing secretive about it. Just because you know how to beat someone doesn't mean you can. If you have ring experience you would know this to be true.

I guess you skipped the "it's a relatively simple strategy, but it's not easy to execute" in favor of pointing out something that I already said.

This blueprint is NOT common knowledge though. I think I've heard one trainer get close to having a game plan like this (****m if I recall correctly, was telling Mosley to punch WITH Floyd in between rounds) but who knows if there was a conscious and sustained effort during camp to practice executing this strategy over, and over, and over, and over again in sparring. That's what it would take to execute properly.

I hear what you are saying, and no offense but you are doing what most boxing fans do and that's over analyze the situation.

Andre Ward said something during a recent boxing match (can't remember which one) where he answered a point that Max Kellerman made.

Kellerman said that fighter "A" failed to make the proper adjustments after round 1. Ward answered that boxing is nothing but adjustments, that the fighter who wins is the one that makes the most adjustments in a 12 round fight.

He was 100% right and it's the single biggest difference between the pro and amateur game. Most trainers that only train amateurs have trouble making that leap because it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

What makes Mayweather so difficult, is yes he's a great athlete and gifted boxer but he also adjusts to almost anything you can do in a 12 round match. So while your points are well made, they just are unrealistic in terms of a strategy being the deciding factor of who is going to beat him.

It's not the strategy that will beat Mayweather, it's the fighter that will do that. IMO, Canelo hopefully will try and duplicate what the then, bigger, stronger Jose Luis Castillo did against a smaller, Mayweather.

Canelo can't box with him, can't counter punch with him, he needs to pressure and do it for 12 rounds. He needs to force Mayweather to respect him, and not try those single right hands and get away with holding him on the inside. He needs to make him pay and make this into a fight, not a boxing match.

That's his chance.

A fighter like Hearns whoops him, or a great pressure fighter which doesn't really exist today.

fact is Floyd punches hard. no one will admit it but he can punch because of timing and accuracy. you don't see his opponents just tryin to walk through his shots. he will stop canelo. my concern is he doesn't use the left hook hardly at all. it will take a fighter who is scared and hungry at the same time to beat him.
