THey're not gonna do it. THe man that will beat Floyd Mayweather will do it with footspeed like Judah, hand speed like judah, a chin like Baldomir, ring intel like De La Hoya and determination like Hatton. Pressure, and power wont do it. Before anyone says what I think you will. I am not saying Judah has the best hand, foot speed in the world, and I am not saying Baldomir has the best chin in the world. I'm not saying De La Hoya is the most intelligent, and I am definitely not saying Ricky Hatton was more determined than every other fighter. I'm saying it's gonna take a complete fighter to beat Floyd Mayweather. BEcause he is a complete fighter. No matter what strenths you have you can't have any major weakness because it will be exploited. I question Cotto's chin but not to the extent that some do because I just cant bring myself to say an undefeated fighter has a weak chin.
If you're saying Floyd has a weak chin - I would have to ask "HOW YOU KNOW?" He's only been ruled down in once in his whole career - and it wasn't from a punch. I don't see anyone out there that can beat Floyd and only a lucky punch can probably do it. He's that good.
Completely accurate the only fighters ive seen really get at Floyd are Zab Judah (Who knocked my boy down but they didn't count it)..... And Ricky Hatton at the beginning of the fight! Ricky not so much as Zab... Zab was getting him by neutralizing that speed with speed! But then its hard to tell because Floyd starts off slow trying to feel the other fighter out! But once thats done a HOLY GRAIL OF WHOOP ASS DESCENDS FROM HEAVEN and gets spilled all over his opponents! and that happened in both of these fights!
Floyds chin is solid. He's been hit by Corrales, Castillio and other big punchers , but he doesn't really react, so it doesn't really register that he got hit hard.But he has. Not even a lucky punch could do it. Guys like Floyd don't get knocked out with one punch.
I think there is such a thing as luck in boxing to a certain extent, but like in most sports you make your own luck. If a Basketball Player throws the ball toward the rim from the opposite side of the court as hard as he can as a second ticks off for the game winning 3 pointer. It's luck involved, but he had to do his best to give it a chance, The same is true when a fighter is overmatched, and he closes his eyes and throws as hard as he can, and gets the surprise of his life from it.

What Hatton was doing on the ropes could be affective with a bigger puncher. He was just taking his time, and hitting Floyd whereever he could like George Foreman says "Anywhere punches" They were really sounding off, and it had to hurt I can see how someone could slow Floyd Mayweather down enough to beat him if they used that. Unfortunately since he has always shown the ability to work on past weaknesses that may have been the only chance anyone will have to try that tactic. IT was much better than throwing those flurries like De LA Hoya did. Missing all of those shots when MAyweather was on the ropes only helped to show that De La Hoya was really being outboxed
