Now whats the strategy to beating floyd?

make him fight someone who is too big for him or wait until he's way out of his prime.

 

Unless Floyd slows down due to age or loses his work ethic, no current fighter that can make 147 has a chance.

 

he will have to pressure Floyd because he has long arms and a solid jab thats what Floyd doesnt like a solid long jab it throws his timing off a little. BUT Cott's stamina is suspect and he would get punished with acurate shots and Floyf would TKO him late.

 

:rofl The Sam Soliman stragedy !! Throw punches from every angle possible !

 

He will retire undefeated.

 

You have to negotiate the terms of the fight to your favor.

Small ring.

12 ounce gloves.

Padded ring posts.

 

:think

 

The guy who will give him trouble is Williams.

 

You need to be very physically strong, have a good chin, good defense, and you need to work your way in effectively with your hands up behind a solid jab. When on the inside, you can't smother your attack. To beat him, you need to throw combinations on the inside to the body and then shift the attack upstairs.

Another style that could beat him is a tall, lanky fighter with a southpaw stance, very good hand speed, and a blistering workrate.


I think fighters who fit that criteria now are Cotto and Williams. They could beat Floyd, but Floyd could beat them as well. In the past, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Pryor, Whitaker, Robinson, and Armstrong could have beaten him.

 

Williams

 

I was being sarcastic

 

Speed so fast that it will be impossible for Floyd to adjust

Which is why ive said the only one who can beat Mayweather at 140 is Meldrick taylor

 

cotto has underrated handspeed, and dont forget cotto also knows how to box when he needs to, and before you get started no i dont think cotto will beat floyd, i think cotto just deserves his shot and he is the only one in welterweight who has shot.
