    Floyd dominates people who pressure him. Sure they'll cause him some problems but he'll still take round after round from him. Augustus, Chavez, Corrales etc all tried to pressure him and pretty much lost every round.

    Judah didn't win rounds by pressuring Floyd, he boxed him.

    You can beat Floyd by boxing or brawling, you just have to be ****ING GOOD AT IT! DLH, Castillo and Judah for the limited success they had were good at it.

    Hatton gets dominated if he isn't good at what he does. Same if you are a boxer - Floyd began to dominate Judah, Mitchell, Corley and many other guys who are predominantly boxers.

    Boxing, brawling, leading, countering, jabbing etc You only beat Floyd if you are exceptional at what you do.

    Problem is, Floyd is pretty much exceptional at everything.

    Calzaghe cannot even spell Floyd..Floyd is superior though Calzaghe is great at what he does. Calzaghe is unorthodox to the max.

    Corrales did anything but pressure Mayweather.

    Chavez was simply too small to cope with Mayweather who at 130 is very big.

    Augustus? Are you sure you aren't thinking of Burton?

    Corrales is a stalker pressure fighter..he doesnt come in with stupid unecessary punches he stalks and cuts the ring off and tries to take your head off ..That is pressure....WTFU are you talking about. Corrales came at floyd the whole fight...floyd just used his legs while Corrales gave chase..and caught corrales coming in...You were exposed on the other thread of pressure beats floyd bull****. Wrong. Hatton comes forward the same way as Corrales did. Not behind a jab.not punching. Cotto comes in punching...not hatton. Hatton does not let his hands go until after a clinch.

    Rubbish. He spent the ENTIRE fight moving forward adn cutting the ring off.

    Chavez wasn't too small. He was moving forward none stop, throwing 100 punches a round.

    Augustus is Burton.

    Yeah, I agree with you.


    I don't see Hatton beating PBF no matter what he does, he's just not good enough. I think Sugar Shane Mosley has the best chance to beat him though.

    I thought he beat Floyd in the first fight but he lost clearly in the second fight.

    Castillo pressured him but was good at it.

    Judah was winning rounds via boxing so there goes the theory.

    If Hatton gives up some of his shots early on he has a chance. If he goes in brawling with his full arsenal he'll get battered.

    And throwing hardly any punches. Not what I call pressure. :nono

    Throw 100 more, still too small for that style matchup.

    Yea.

    Judah was winning in the early rounds because he has faster speed than floyd. Floyd adjusted and Zab couldnt find an answer.

    corrales did presure floyd and was beaten to the punch when ever he was with in punching range, corrales problem was that he could not match floyd's foot speed and was out menuverd and countered.

    Exactly. And this **** about Corrales being a pressure fighter because his style was come forward is off base.

    Corrales walked forward and cut off the ring sure, but he didn't lead. He waited on his opponent to commit first so he could get his left hook off.

    Mayweather led that fight all 12 rounds. Corrales walked to him, Mayweather got off and Corrales tried to counter. All night. That ain't even close to real pressure.

    And Castillo did well with Mayweather because he refused to let him dictate/lead the fight. He would punch with Mayweather coming in and that forced Mayweather to turn to counter punching at times. That is what gave Castillo a chance.
