    One of the chief problems with Floyd isn't his skills, but his physical attributes. Give him Margarito-style hand-speed had he'd be terrible. My view is that in order to beat Floyd you need insane physical attributes to compensate for his: exceptional chin, speed, stamina, power and the like. There simply isn't a boxer alive whose skills are comprable to his, and so they need to overcome him purely with pure atheltic, somatic makeup.

    Therefore, theorietically, no. In reality, hell yes.

    Has anybody ever heard this;( He's got a good jab but why doesn't he use it.) ANSWER because he's not thinking. He needs an intellegent boxing brain. You can have all the tools in the world but if you dont have the intellegence to use them properly, then they don't do you much good. A dumb mother ****er will never beat Floyd Mayweather unless like I said, he gets lucky. If you can't execute your style better than he can execute his, you lose.

    Castillo was Floyd's "Duran 1". He got full of himself, didn't take the fight serious enough. SRL learned his lesson, as did Floyd.

    No. You can beat anyone with the right combination of skills. Problem is that by the 4th round Mayweather gets it and starts pummeling you.

    This idiots are stupid, there is no blueprint for a reason... For me to say one style has a better chance of beating mayweather is all opinion, same as saying a jab is something you need to even be competitive with Mayweather is Opinion and BS... to these idiots if you don't have a jab you can't beat Mayweather it's nonsense there is nothing but opininon...

    My opinion is it's a good tool to have but I would rather throw my money on other skills and attributes not just a jab... like size difference power, speed, offensive technician, you ain't outboxing mayweather on the backfoot... you have to be an offensive machine like Ortiz was able to get succes, like castillo was able to get success. You need the chin to keep going ahead and not respect any of his fancy moved and just straight punch his body corner him and unload...you need stamina to unleash bombs on this slick mother****er, and the power to out muscle him and not even respect him... I'll put my money on a big, powerful skillfull offensive technician... ortiz had the tool but he wasn't ripe yet.. he was inexperienced... but he sure had the tools.. and lacked some other skills to be able to beat Mayweather... like a style when fighting on the backfoot.. ortiz doesn't fight good going backwards when Mayweather was walking him down.

    It certainly helps, but a variety of styles at the ATG level throughout history could have done so without heavily depending on one.

  15. U dont need jab jus good committment to da body and extreme conditioning.
    Castillo crizzled Floyd in the first match. Homeboy could not even throw in the championship rounds when la familia was insisting. obviously his shoulder was wrecked.
    That is why he edged out #2 with not too much difficuldee.

    As long as he not too affected by his own age and inactivity he should be the bus driver vs Cotto. if Cotto lands to the body could be ugly for Floydz late.
    Floyd prime p4p top 50 ATG wit lil hesitation.
