Is applying pressure the best way to fight Floyd Mayweather?

Nope, you want to do a little of both, Apply pressure when he is tryin to rest not when he wants you to chase him, and Box when he wants to box.

it will be a boring fight but it will reduce the amount of mistakes you have to pay for when you make them

 

Yes he had no answer to what Hatton and Ortiz were bringing.

Look at what Cotto did for a better game plan.

 

only when you can corner him to the ropes. No pressure when he has room to step back or you will get countered.

 

No, you have to mix it up, Mayweather is actually very good in the pocket, if you come out and just rush him you will take ALOT of punishment, A well rounded fighter with fast hands could trouble Floyd.

 

There is no blueprint.

 

I personally think a mover with quick hands with solid defense will give floyd trouble. When oscar jabbed an moved it worked cotto bust his moth. Good thing they dont make em like they did in the 80s or fliyd would still be at 35 maybe 40

 

I agree. He can be smothered on the inside to an extent, but it's better to fight in spots in the pocket than stay there and allow him to get into an offensive rhythm. Knowing how to pressure behind a good jab is important, but be prepared to do other things.

 

Absolutely but the judges gat to see him get out of balance, stumble or eventually getting hit like when Mosley hit him and he buckled his legs. Someone even shorter than him but with the willpower of Hatton and the punch power of Ortiz could win a fight, of course that would have to be a smart fight like when Duran smothered SRL into the ropes in Montreal.

 

It needs to be educated preassure. Calculated risks.

I'm too tired to expand, but may come back tomorrow.

 

With that v-cash total I think it's time to consider if it's really worth coming back at all? :!:

 

Zab had the most success within 4 rounds of any of Floyd opponents. You need very fast hands, great work rate, power, amazing counter punching, with even better ring generalship and defense to beat Floyd, I see no one within 154 to 140 that has all the above to beat him right now.

 

margarito would have given him a tough time i think.

 

What happened to yours?

I bet on Spinks vs Burndage going over. :twisted:
