    Floyds not unbeatable.
    I personally believe a huge number of differant styles could beat him. But unfortunately you have to be an ATG to pull it off.

    For example Leonard and hearns could out box him. Duran could maul him and out work him.

    Or a prime oscar could out box him.A prime Mosley steam roll him.

    Floyds an ATG. So all the fighters he's fighting regardless of style don't stand a chance.

    I don't see how anyone can predict what would happen in these bouts as Mayweather adapts more often than not, think he would allow leonard and hearns box the whole night? hell no, let duran maul him? hell no

    the boxers listed have a far higher chance of success against Floyd than what is out there now, but none of us will ever know what would have happened, but that guy is right you need the skill of an ATG to do it.

    The one thing Floyd always mention is he respects every fighter but when they get in the ring with him they have to force or make Him respect their FIGHT GAME, You saw in the Ortiz fight for the start he did not respect his fight game at all. So it would have to be some one who cant be tooo easy to hit because if you are easy to hit he WON'T respect you because he will know he can tag you when he wants too so he will spend most of the fight letting you tire yourself out

    Everybody focuses on how to land on him but the key is forcing him to land on you, He is a defenisive fighter so he would naturally respect a fighter that gives him a harder more elusive target to hit than a person trying to beat him up, people have been trying to beat him up his whole life he doesnt respect that

    He said Castillo outboxed Floyd at times. Now you know why I can't stand *******s. Everything they say is always a Pacquiao based opinion.

    Floyd eats these come forward guys for lunch

    and at the heavier weights they are too slow

    guys like Chavez n Castillo were 135 or 130 and were very fast in comparison to 147 guys

    they provided speed and pressure

    Hatton had the right idea but couldnt take the punch

    i wanna see a Cory Spinks type, a guy who will not engage force Floyd to be the agressor youd get a fight so boring like 15 punches a round each but it would be so close

    The best way to beat Floyd is to actually to force him into a slugfest, having the skills to steer the fight into that direction is the problem. When in a slugfest and Floyd gets hit, his ego is so big that you see the look of shame on his face, then he often comes back all guns blazing, sometimes disregarding his defense. The Key is to catch him with bombs when does decide to turn it up and fight, Chavez Mosley, Hatton, and Castillo, Augutus, and Corley all had success when Floyd got reckless, the problem is one shot won't drop Floyd, he doesn't make the same mistakes twice, and he has become 20xx the defensive that he was since moving up and fighting the slower fighters at WW.


    Most people might say keep jabbing him, but if you are a student of Floyds fights, you will see that he likes fighters coming forward jabbing, Floyd is a master at timing and maintaining distance, he will put himself in a area where you think the jab is gonna connect, then he pulls back and counters, he may not always sit down on those punches, but the ones you don't see always hurt more, and is the punches that have you second guessing yourself
