Name Fighters That Aren't Tailor Made For Mayweather?

Both Bradley and Pac can be removed from the list, Mayweather won't have an issue with either.

 

?

"The Mosley punch" you mean the punch in round 2, the same round 2 that Floyd was walking Mosley down and looking completely comfortable in for the last 60+ seconds?

Cool.

Back to Soliman...

He is not a titlist. His result over Sturm got overturned due to testing positive for a banned PED. He is rematching him next month.

Soliman is a volume punching glorified slapper. He has less power than Daniel Geale.

 

Bundu. Versatile switch hitter with a tight defense. Not saying he'd win, but he'd be capable of giving FMJ different looks in there.

 

I don't believe in "tailor made". I do agree that styles make fights.

Canelo for example tried to fight outside of his style against Floyd, as did Bradley with Pac. Both examples resulted in convincing losses.

Had these two stuck largely with what they do best, and used the style they tried in spurts, they would have looked much better. You would see an uncomfortable Floyd if he fought someone with quickness and head movement. The fact that Maidana has none of that will allow Floyd to dictate what happens. His ring generalship alone will win him the Maidana fight.

If he were to face someone with real speed (hand and foot), he would be timid to throw because suddenly his high % shots are landing less. Go back to the Hatton or Zab fights. I'm not sayin Floyd would lose, just saying that there is evidence it is effective.

 

between 140-154

Pac, Bradley, Khan, Lara - not saying he beats them but they match up well style wise

Thurman in a years time

 

Then do it Floyd! The only way he can be champion at 160 is if he Cotto beats Martinez. He is an opportunist and would love to see him in front of him. Anyway, he don't want of little Manny and you tell me he would fight GGG. Common....there's trolling and...trolling. Nutsack.

 

Floyd fights slow unskilled fighters. Floyd ducks fighters who has good chance to beat him.

 

Pac, GGG, Lara, Lucas. Bradley, Sergio.

Quack quack quack Floyd

 

He would've been favorite back in 09-11 against Pac by not by much in the odds. Another is Sergio Martinez in 2011.

Sergio Martinez
Pac

Other than that I don't see anyone else.

 

I don't think he could crack floyd's shell... I would be shocked.

 

Khan is indeed tailor-made. He has 1% of the brains and 2% of the ring skills of Mayweather. His speed will be rendered worthless by the 4th round, probably earlier.

 

Kirkland:huh

 

140-147: Tim, Pac
154: Lara (not sold on this dude though)
160: Serg, GGG - these guys are too big though as cotto-martinez will demonstrate.

 

The thread isn't who would be lkely to beat Floyd but who isn't tailor made i.e. an easy tactical fight for him.

There's tons of fighters with (some of) the attributes which aren't tailored perfectly for Floyd to deal with: hand and foot speed, control of distance, good outside fighting, unorthodox/awkward style.

I would only consider those who fight a come-forward, front-foot heavy slugging style to be tailor made for Floyd.

Take your pick.....
