About pressure and Floyd...

I think pressure alone wont beat floyd, u have to be real skilled inside and physicaly stronger then floyd to rough him up a bit, a good jab to lead in and let floyd's guard up while ur cutting off to him,

Or another style that could beat floyd would be a real tall fighter who fight from the outside and can get in(Hearns) even I think Williams (even if not that good) can improve and learn to use better footwork and force floyd to lead in could give him a lot of trouble.

 

Ok then....your point is wrong then. Pressure will work from whom? Anyone? That's false. Obviously you will need to name a fighter to apply the pressure for your point to stand.

 

But we don't know that pressure can work....thats like saying any style can work. This is merely a guess based on? Not trying to egg ya on, but you seem to be playing a game of semantics just to screw with people.

I am sure this threads stems from what PBF fans have said. And I am sure they have said it in Hatton vs PBF discussions. So one would assume, and probably rightfully so, you are talking about Hatton.

 

You know you like to **** people (especially PBF fans) off just to see how stupid their reactions are....don't play dumb, you haven't been gone THAT long

You must be referring to fantasy fights when PBF is matched with pressure fighters. He hasn't fought many in real bouts. The problem is, most pressure fighters are slow a foot or slow handspeed. Hatton is neither, though he is not as fast as PBF in either category. Somebody like JCC in his prime would have been a horse of a different color for PBF, something he had not ever seen. But each styles elite practitioner can spell trouble for anyone.

PBF is not a natural anything IMO. He adapts to each fighter he faces. It's up to them to prepare for that. PBF can be beaten, and someone will probably do it. But its gonna take a great performance.

 

i'm sure there are a number of ways to beat floyd. anything can happen with the right boxer on the right night. castillo had success using pressure, delohoya had some success when he trew lots of jabs, judah had success with superior speed. but, hatton's only chance is to apply lots of pressure. and, he might be able to get it done, but don't hold your breath.

 

well it has work Hatton cant stand in front of him and box that would be foolish.

 

Pressure is the way to beat most boxers, and Floyd is no exception. It just depends on whether the pressure fighter has the tools to work their way inside and apply effective pressure while making him have to fight back.

 

Bollocks! De La Hoya and Castillo gave Mayweather his toughest two fights and neither has an exceptional jab, footwork or speed. De La hoya has "pop", but it didn't bother Mayweather. Neither man is tall either.

What are you basing this off? It's just pure speculation.

It seems another way to put across that you don't think Hatton has a chance. The fact is, the people who won the most rounds against Floyd did so using pressure.

 

mayweather's definitely at his best when u give him that bit of room.

gatti and corrales spring to mind.

he's always been a fighter that will draw an opponents sting and then fire in quick counters.

this is where i reckon hatton can get good work in and score pts. :bbb

 

when floyd gets old (32) then your theory might hold more weight. right now it's just an opinion

 

You know what, except for the pop, everything you said Paul Williams has. If he can learn to sit on his punches, he might be the guy that can give Floyd his first L. But I dont see this fight ever taking place. Too much of high risk low reward at this time for Floyd. And I dont blame him either.
