Mayweather vs Ali Funeka at 140...an interesting matchup.

So, how would Floyd beat him?

The only guys I've seen have success, and let me repeat, THE ONLY GUYS that have had success were guys that brought the fight to Funeka.

They hit him with overhand rights and did body work.

And Funeka is slick in the sense, that he has very quick feet, covers up quickly, and knows how to use his height.

The only way I see Floyd beating Funeka is by getting close with his jab, and using his right hand to the body and head.

And throwing combinations to the body like we've never seen him throw before.

And sure Nate Campbell managed to hurt Funeka 3 times in the fight, but he is also a harder puncher than Floyd; however, Floyd is smarter.

But you can't tell me you think that Floyd would win this fight on the outside? Do you?

Evidence points that he would get picked apart. Guzman and Raheem were both at their worst when they were on the outside, getting picked apart by the taller man.

Floyd would be in the same position.

And if Funeka had more power, ala Tommy Hearns, it would be over for Floyd.

Imagine if Tommy fought Floyd.

 

But the thing is, I'm tryin to find fighters where Floyd won't be Floyd as we know him, just like Guzman and Raheem weren't the same fighters against Funeka.

And you say Funeka has defensive lapses, but they are all on the inside, where his opponent is aggressively applying pressure, and the shots that caused the most damage were overhand rights by Nate Cambell.

When Guzman hit Funeka with these shots, and he did on the inside, it did nothing.

And while Floyd is a harder hitter than Guzman, he will also have to find the openings, as Guzman did, on the inside. We will have to see Floyd look like an aggressive fighter, and observers will say that Floyd did not look like Floyd.

But that's because certain styles will force him to adapt.

I could say the same thing about Paul, but I don't think Paul is the same as Funeka.

I think Funeka puts more snap in his punches, and Paul's defense is slightly different.

Still though, there are similiarities between the fighters and it is clear that Floyd wants no part of Paul Williams.

 

So you're wrongly assuming that N Who fights like Funeka.

You might as well of said, he'll give him the Hatton treatment.

 

You just defeated yourself.

It's clear that you don't understand boxing. It's styles that make fights.

Unfortunately for you though, I don't have time to get into boxin 101. And your argument is baseless.

Many observers felt that Funeka got the best of Campbell, and it was easy to see that he dominated Guzman who was thought very highly on this site.

I use Guzman and Raheem as examples because like Floyd both men are pure boxers with limited power.

But when they came in contact with a big skilled man with a great jab, they were forced to adapt.

Raheem failed to do so and was knocked out. Guzman tried, but his lack of power and Funeka's overall ability led not just to a loss but a domination.

The point of this thread is that Floyd would have to adapt. Against N Who, who doesn't use his height like he should, as he often crouches foward and fights like a pressure fighter, and has incredibly slow hands with a dismall jab should not be compared to Funeka.

As I said, it is clear that you don't understand boxin. So please keep your comments to yourself.

You need to be more concerned with your assessment that Peterson will school Bradley.

Don't think I forgot about that.

 

Again, I did not say Funeka would beat PBF. I said he would give him problems that PBF has not encountered before.

And yes Hearns would beat Funeka, but that's an entirely different matchup.
