Mayweather is very open in the first few rounds so Hearns would have a GREAT chance at knocking him out then.
Simple You come out hard and you stay on him , when he gets cute you rough him up do' not under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES allow him to set the pace , be prepared to risk disqulification beause he'll have the referee in his pocket . But most off all Pressur Pressure and more Presure , . Take him to a level he has not fought at before . But the main thing in order to do this , you have to be something , that he does'nt like to meet , and thats a fighter who's up there at the same level , who is'nt too small or too old . A manny Paquio might be the go , but we all know it won't happen .
It depends on what type of style and attributes you have. Give me a big guy who out weighs him a lot with a very good jab and high ring IQ who can fight on the inside. That guy was Winky Wright
You need intelligence and excellent boxing skills. You have to break his rythm and he has about four different ones. Your job is to know which one he comming with after each round and have an answer for it. Its a ****in chess match and I would like to see a fighter engage him in that manner.
He held and hit in the clinch. He did the exact same thing in the 2nd fight, but they didn't count those illegal body blows.
Constant pressure throughout the whole fight. Take him out of his comfort level esp. his pace which most fighters tend to fall in his trap fighting his fight. Try to time his great jab which his one of his main tools, take that jab away and opportunities could land. I think speed moving in and out and not staying in the middle like he loves to. You have to be the bully and work that body even though his defense is amazing. Something would land eventually and if you have him hurt jump on him the guy has amazing recovery. The point is dont let him breathe from rounds 1 through 12 is the most important thing. Dont worry about getting caught Floyd is a very cautious fighter even when he has his opponent hurt, take the risk and keep the pressure.
Current Floyd is a big welter. He should be walking around the low 150s. He's become less mobile(maybe by design or he's breaking down). Angles and work rate can beat Floyd, but they have to be extremely fast and accurate to avoid the counters. A tough match up.
How Emmanuel Augustus was fighting him early in the fight. If you aren't stronger than Floyd you won't beat him. The punch stats in the first Castillo fight are off. He did not hit Floyd that much. He landed body shots at times, but he held and hit, and hit low. Judah also fought Floyd tough early using his hand speed. Castillos pressure, Augustus's two fists, and Judahs speed! 3 fighters combined into one lol. That ain't Pacquiao.
You gotta knock him out in the first 3 rounds otherwise your not going to outpoint him. Naazim set the standard and the gameplan
Imagine Floyd in the place of Sergio Martinez: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6LkrhtGtJA[/ame] Now you know why Floyd wanted no part of Margarito.
