    Ok i'm sure i'm not only guy that watches a fighter and then after or during thinks of a strategy to beat them. Looking at weaknesses and the strengths and how you'd teach a fighter to beat these guys.

    You sometimes figure out a guys style and feel fully that you could lead a fighter to victory with your expertise but then there's that one or two fighters you just sit there and think 'i really dunno how a fighter can break this guy down'.

    So what fighters from past or present have you found the hardest puzzle to solve?

    Andre Ward is a extremely difficult fighter because of his chameleon ways. He's got a good all round game and even when analyzing him before Froch fight i found myself looking for the most minor weaknesses and aspects of his game. Tremendous credit to the kid for him developing a all round game.

    Look forward to reading this thread, might even add another in coming day.

    I hate the man but Floyd Maywether, He is so defensively sound its hard to fathom how to beat him. Out and out pressure dosnt work, I don't think speed is the key either, I suppose if anything maybe another defensive counter puncher could possibly out point him in an extremely dull fight but other than that Im stuck?

    ****ing hell, look who's been resurrected, its the captain.

    Anyway on topic, I'd have to agree, Prime Mayweather looks a very tough task for anyone to figure out.

    Mayweather only fights those incapable of beating him.

    Jung Koo Chang. Only looked vulnerable when he didn't train properly or was past his physical best.

    Nonito Donaire.

    I think he's got very few weaknesses to his game, and it'd take a damn good performance from an exceptional fighter to exploit them to the full. I made this post before about why I think Rigondeaux would have the best chance of anyone out there to beat him:


    But even still I can't really see him defeating Donaire, merely pushing him close but ultimitely falling short. His blend of skill, athleticism, and pure size(which may be nullified a tad with his continual rise through the weights) makes him a near-impossible puzzle to solve for today's fighters in my opinon, and it's not like the talent pool is sparse at bantam/super bantam, there's an abundance of talented dudes down there.

    You're still listed as defacto captain i believe.

    I don't think I deserve to be captain after my shameful walk out on the squad, mind you John Terrys done worse?

    I don't mind doing it to be honest mate. I'll just make sure to give you a couple of easy warm up fights. Then you'll be the one with the Japanese Middleweight Title fight next time round :lol:

    :lol: That's ok, it would give me a good excuse to get up to date with Japanese boxing, which from what I hear is very good.
