    Floyd Mayweather.

    Please YouTube Floyd Mayweather versus Jesus Chavez. No I didn't think the fight was as close as Lederman, who had it 86-85 Floyd, correct me if I'm wrong. Chavez cut Floyd, and put a small lump under Floyds right eye.

    Jose Luis Castillo and Rick Hatton fought Floyd all wrong. Both lacked right hands, so they tried to crowd Floyd, tried to outmuscle him instead cutting the ring off and just throwing punches. Right idea, but not enough in their arsenal. Too much holding and illegal ****.

    Chavez fought like a man possessed that night. Same as Duran when he fought Sugar. Chavez and Duran didn't need to hold and hit or fight illegally. They used the 'take one two land 5' mentality, and it worked. To this day I still don't know why Chavez's corner threw in the towel.

    I do know this. Either your going to land your Sunday punch, and take Floyd out which won't happen, or you'll fight Floyd aggressively like Jesus Chavez did. Either way, you need two fists, and a will to walk through anything to beat Floyd. 42 tried, 42 failed.

    Very interesting to read this. I watched that fight literally an hour ago. There should not have been a stoppage in chavez's corner like George Foreman said on the play by play but who else is going to come at floyd like that and basically bury their head in floyds chest like that for twelve rounds? No one is, not to mention floyd has gotten stronger as well. Every fight along the way has taught floyd something. Other similar talk is to try to say a strong jab will beat him, I say that those ships have sailed. We saw floyd stalk someone that is ten years his junior and sixteen pounds heavier and we all know he's going to go over the top on the jab. Roger is quoted yesterday saying he hasn't seen floyd look this good since he fought diego corrales. If floyd like comes to the ring anywhere near that, Miguel is catching an ass whipping next month.

    There are other feasible options besides hoping for a lucky shot or swarming like crazy.

    I only gave a clue. Theoretically there ARE options, but we're talking about BEATING Floyd Mayweather. Everyone sounds good when explaining how they would fight Floyd, or how this guy should fight Floyd. 42 tried, 42 failed!

    Very good post. I like when you said, "Every fight along the way has taught Floyd something". That is so true.

    i remember thinking Chaez had took a shyt load of precise shots and at the end he didnt look like he had been in a fight at all! But his corner stopped the fights because he was getting hit so much.

    i couldnt beliee how well he stood up and his face to the many punches that landed....especialy some brutal uppercuts.

    People have posted strategies / blueprints time and time again, did you take time to read any of them?

    Castillo didn't "outmucle " Floyd he boxed him, and outboxed him at times.

    Floyd can be beaten. You just have to study his habits and formulate a gameplan around that, as you would with any fighter.

    I have the plan to beat FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.!!!!!!!

    Its is proven to work time and time again!!!!! It is a simple plan!!!!!

    Its going to take a man that is willing to die in the ring. It was proven against Roy Jones and Mike Tyson!!!!!!


    Tyson and Roy jones were so dominate in their time, that everybody paid them too much respect. People would fight Roy and attempt to out box him in the middle of the ring. People would fight Tyson and do everything but fight him as if he would eventually stop swinging for the fence, And when people fight floyd, they are so confused that they attempt to outbox maybe the best boxer of all time. The person that will be floyd will have to turn the boxing match into a fight.

    buster Douglas did it best, he went forward dam near the entire fight. He respect Tyson power but at the end of the day, he didn't give a ****. Tarvar sorry ass had a plan to go crazy on Floyd when he back into the ring. Now for a fighter to beat floyd, he will have to do the same thing. Push Floyd into the ropes and literally go crazy. Everytime !!!!


    Floyd has no weakness, so trying box him won't work. A fight needs to take place. I get tired of seeing people get there ass beat by Floyd and the other fighters corner man keeps telling that fighter to work the jab that hasn't work the whole night.

    41 have tried. If you're so set on citing 42, just leave it as 42-0.:-(

    As a tall elite fighter, backing him into the ropes with a series of jabs and feints, and outworking him at proper distance.

    As a southpaw, walking him into shots and being prepared to both lead and counter with lead foot positioning. and a dynamic punch arsenal.

    As a boxer puncher, alternating between being the aggressor and turning him defensively to set up counters.

    As a defensive fighter, forcing Floyd to lead and encouraging him to overreach to land the more accurate shots.

    ATG's like Hearns, Duran, Leonard, Chavez, Whitaker, prime Oscar, and other less obvious ones could and would do well to apply gameplans that involved much more than hoping for a lucky shot or beasting out on him with predictable volume.

    Okay, but that doesn't mean there are only two options. And 41 have tried.

    BTW, bringing this fight up in the first place is a great discussion point. Chavez has a lot of success with his savvy on the inside. The way he leans to his left as his left glove sticks onto Floyd's right glove allows him more room to smother and work up close without fear of that hard accurate counter. His movement and parrying are very fluid and unpredictable, and when he gets Floyd against the ropes, he doesn't just do a typical right-left-right-left sequence Floyd can roll left and right with; he mixes in jabs, double punches with the same hand, head and body, etc. If only he could cut the ring off better and guard his chin from counter-uppercuts. Very solid win for Floyd.

    And you don't think Ortiz attempted to do just that? Baldomir tried as well, although it was clear before they even stepped in the ring that he just didn't have the talent to keep up.

    Plus realistically, there isn't any current fighter who could pull this off. None of the good pressure fighters are near Floyd's division.

    I think you have to understand Floyd does not let you continue to do whats succesful for you....he also is fighting as well and throwing back...gameplans are not as easy to put into action as some on ESB lead to believe...i dont care who the boxer is...Floyd is a supreme talent, boxer and a high IQ for the sport, if you dont resepct that first....you will lose more often than not.
