About pressure and Floyd...

Fair enough.
BTW I think Spinks would cause some problems he's a southpaw has long arms, has a good jab, has fast hands, good defense, good footwork and is a smart fighter. His flaws are that he's too defensive minded and has bad stamina. I'm not so worried about his power but if he was more offensive minded he could give PBF a great fight even now he'd give him a good fight.

 

Spot on!:good Southpaws give PBF problems even uncle Roger said so.

 

Glad to know you aren't into ultimatums. Too bad I didn't give you one.

You don't know if pressure will work or not. As a matter of fact, his pressure isn't as relevant IMO as another attribute. It's the fact that Hatton has faster hands than Castillo did and will be able to catch PBF sometimes on his way in and on PBF's way out. Otherwise he would just be getting countered by PBF over and over. His chances lie in his quicker than average hands allowing him to hit PBF where others have missed when trying to apply pressure. Usually pressure doesn't help because PBF just backs away and hits you before you can hit him and then is out of range.

 

Being a smart fighter helps. Wouldn't everyone agree? De la Hoya put walked him around but didn't make him change. Castillo in the first bout actually hit Mayweather. Good pressure, not recklessness

 

I been gone for a second and this clown thinks he is right:rofl:rofl:rofl Let me break it down in child terms.. Uhmm.. Floyd is a counter puncher by nature. A counter puncher sits back and looks for openings to land his shots. Being a counter puncher means the other guy has to play ball buy coming forward and being the aggressor. Which is what applying pressure is. Pressure destructs Zab Judah..but it dont mean **** to floyd. If you pressure by coming forward and mauling him..you are for one not going to be in position to punch b/c your feet are not planted..two.. Floyd loves to fight off of the back foot in which the other guy has to come forward with pressure for Floyds style to work. Another thing that throws your bull**** non-boxing know-nothing ass out of the window is that making floyd the aggressor or making him come forward which he is not as effective doing is the way to beat him. By a southpaw with reach and a good right hook. Everybody who ever posted with me heard me say this a million times. If floyd has to come forward he is not as effective. So if you have a rangy jab and pop him at range not with no damned pressure.. Floyd has to come forward to you to score any points or sit back and lose a decision.....LEARN BOXING CLASS DISMISSED..****

 

This guy has no clue.Me and you are at odds and ends but we agree on alot.

 

You decide that people who think a certain way are stupid, and then discover that these "stupid" people all think a certain way?

What a breakthrough!

 

I guess you being stupid..you dont realize he was being sarcastic.

 

I agree , and even when he does back off his upper body movement is so fluent that it allows him to weave out the the way of punches and counter from odd angles with his reach.

 

they are stupid BIGTIME! :yep

 

Any style can beat any fighter as long as the person applying the style is good enough. Pressure can beat Floyd - is Hatton good enough? I don't think so
