    Common misconception about Floyd not fighting in rhythm........


    The best way to beat Mayweather, is NOT! to try and time his rhythm, but to BREAK! it, dont try and counter/time what he is doing, but make sure he cant do the same thing to you, time/counter what you are doing, which means changing your own rhythm, as the best way to shut Mayweather down, is to shut down his offense, as his offense comes from his defense, now if he is able to time/counter your attacks, he will get his offense going, if you change your own rhythm sufficiently, he will find those chances to mount his own offense few and far between, and will probably be reduced to having to lead, getting off first.


    The above is why I dont think Manny will beat him, his defense is not good enough to shut down those countering opportunities, and his only chance to break Mayweather's rhythm, is to hurt him, only Floyd wont stand still long enough for that to happen imo.

    Difference between Mayweather and Marquez, is that Mayweather moves after countering, he does not wait around for the receipt, plus he is longer, stronger and quicker than Marquez.

    I always thought the best way to beat him would be to rough him up. Similar to how Pascal and Litzau roughed Dawson and Caballero up.

    This thread was actually in relation to someone making the assertion that you cant time Mayweather's rhythm, its as though some people think he is unbeatable for this reason, only as I say, you dont have to time him to beat him.

    I am finding it pretty easy to time how often you make the same thread, slightly reworked each time.

    I see your ass didn't respond to what he said! You rather talk at him rather than respond to what he actually said! Could it be that you don't understand the Sweet Science? I pity the fool!

    I don't agree, once a fighter breaks Mayweather's rhythm he will simply change it

    an example is the Judah fight Floyd was trying to have a relaxed counter fest, until Zab turned up the pace, then Floyd turned it even higher and walked Zab down as he began to tire

    I've been responding to what he says for months, too bored to continue anymore, as he persistently regurgitates the same threads and the same subjects, all with the exact same agenda. Far too dull to keep dignifying with proper responses. :dead

    The irony is, Mayweather did exactly in the Judah fight what I just refereed to, had to resort to taking the lead, getting off first, applying more pressure, as he couldn't get his counter punching game going.

    Popkins, seriously, if you knew my handle/username on another site, your really! wouldn't think im a Mayweather fan, as I cant stand the man.


    mrjotatp4p, look at the responses, no real debate, just sarcasm, its as though people so WANT it to be true that Manny will win, that they dont want to debate in depth.

    A good jab works wonders against floyd, zab and dlh showed that. Winky would have certainly beat floyd, forrest would have been a hard fight for him. Unfortunately pac doesnt have the reach and jab to fight that kind of fight with floyd so he will have to try to beat him with volume and movement

    Yeah zab won a few rounds and roger knew it, he told floyd "he dont want to fight" in between rounds meaning he wanted floyd to push zab back and as soon as he did that the fight was his. Zab was being very cautious and keeping up a tight defense, beating floyd to the punch with the jab and floyd got lazy and boxed with him and dropped a few rounds. I dont think its as big a problem as people make it out to be, its floyds fault for getting lazy and letting the round slip, but when he hardly looses any rounds and all of a sudden looses a few in a row people notice.

    He fought shame coming forward all night as well, I think floyd's strength in a pac fight is he has a number of options if one thing isnt going well. He can fight well going forward or backwards. He has a good jab if he wants to use it but does well with the lead right. His high guard defense worked great against mosley, i think he will be using that more with pac as opposed to the shoulder roll
