Name Fighters That Aren't Tailor Made For Mayweather?

Paulie Mallignaggi would give him headaches.

He'd dance around and flick that jab out and flurry with pitty pat punches.

He'd make Floyd come out of his comfort zone.

Floyd wont be able to just sit back and counter pot shot the **** out of him like he does with a lot of fighters.

Floyd would still win, but it would be an interesting clash of styles

 

He would never ever be the betting favourite against Martinez or GGG. Quillen isnt a fighter.

 

Taylor, lol.

 

Lara, Khan, Brook, Porter, and Garcia.

 

Garcia is too slow and very predictable .

Floyd would outpoint him badly .

Fighters like Lara, Khan and Porter, with their styles they could hold their own against Floyd .

 

Fighters who ARE tailor-made for him:
Counter-punchers like Marquez, Garcia, Broner, etc
Flat-footed Brawlers like Maidana, Rios, Guerrero, etc

Fighters who AREN'T tailor made for him:
Everyone else

 

Why are we talking about golfing on a boxing forum?

 

I didn't say they'd beat him, but they have more than just their styles to possibly upset him or make him look bad.

Lucas is not your typical, one dimensional puncher let's be real he was beating Garcia up to where Lucas was one eyed. Lucas is iron chinned, iron willed, attacks the body with conviction, and has nasty power. Danny is a big Jr ww I'd say he's easily as strong as Floyd if not stronger and good chin, but I still think Lucas stops him next time. Smart pressure by Matthysse can give Floyd big problems. Look at the way he neutralized Danny's left hook till he got blinded. That is the sign of a smart fighter, tho his corner not so smart, they cost him the fight.

Bradley, the older swarmer version, can trouble Floyd. But Bradley would have to use some defense in there just can't walk in because Floyd would try to be one step ahead. Bradley using angles and a lot of waist movement with bobbing and weaving would force Floyd to jab or counter. Bradley can give Floyd hell, but depends how long he can keep it up. If he made speed demon like Pacman miss he can make Floyd miss too.

Lara has the tools at long range to hang with Floyd, but as long as he keeps his distance. That straight left is all he has, but his speed and power not something to sleep on.

Thurman like Canelo is young and hungry, tho green, he's probably smartest of the young guns. He's explosive, has power, and gets back into his defensive shell after his attack. Has power and speed in both hands, most likely to get the Canelo treatment too, but where Thurman might shine where Canelo didn't is his body attack, killer instinct to finish an opponent, and better consistency than Canelo. He might be open to counters, but at least he's willing to gamble. Seems to get stronger as fight goes on, unlike most of Floyd's opponents that seem to fade later in the fight.

/thread :tong

 

You don't know **** about boxing. Log off so people who do can have an educated discussion.

 

GGG is a damn middleweight so scratch that off.

Some could say Pacquiao was tailormade for Mayweather, but I don't necessarily agree.

Matthysse is though

 

even if lara loses to canelo ?

i mean then it def wont happen but still ?

 

At Welterweight:

#1 Keith Thurman (Only Welter who can Stop Floyd)
#2 Manny Pacquiao (Floyd win but with bruises)
#3 Amir Khan (Floyd win but will get hit)
#4 Malinaggi (Floyd win but will get jabbed)
#5 Brook in UK (Floyd win but can get jobbed)

 

Thurman and Brook have done nothing that shows they'd be competitive against Floyd.

 

Pacqioua
Provodnikov
Bradley
Thurman
Lara
GGG
Sergio(2 yrs ago)
Khan
Matthysee
Judah

Can any of those beat him.......idk....But each has one or more ingredients more than the guys Floyd WILL fight.

Although to his credit, Floyd WILL fight Khan on the condition he's still relevant after the Collazo fight.:think

Of course Khan would be p4p #1 if his chin didnt crumble every time the wind blew.
