Name Fighters That Aren't Tailor Made For Mayweather?

Kieth Thurman isn't tailor-made
Neither is Lara
Neither is Pacquiao

Hell, neither is Canelo from a stylistic stand point. Floyd's just Floyd

 

The only guys that are tailor made for Floyd are guys like Gatti; slow punchers. With that being said, Mayweather is pretty versatile and can adapt pretty well. As as guys who would be best suited to beat Mayweather, it would have to be someone who could out think him or a guy who could overwhelm him physically.

 

good

 

size and power don't mean **** if you can't hit the target. Floyd Mayweather got the best defense in boxing and those guys at 160 are not skilled enough to crack it.

 

In that case Floyd should just grab belts from every division :rofl

Size is not just weight...its punch resistance of your opponents...reach that allows them to tag you with out have to use any energy...whole tje smaller guy is expending his energy bobbing and weaving to avoid punches...its a losing game...any fit 160lbs top 100 boxer is danger for Floyd...the more you go up the more dangerous it becomes

 

Why, is floyd judged against career middles & s middles? Was marvin hagler, judged for avoiding spinks who was 1 division above?

 

Better than what his recent opponents can do

 

Canelo is, but most felt he would change his style and pressure FLoyd, instead tried to box with him and pick off floyd!

terrible gameplan

 

I don't know about anyone from 140-154.

Lara might seem like a good choice, but he would rather fight at a distance and box his opponents. The problem with Lara is he doesn't have a high enough punch output I believe to cause FLoyd any trouble. It would basically be a master boxer taking on another master boxer from a distance.

Pacman's handspeed and unconventional combination punching could pose problems for FLoyd, but he lunges in way too much and always loves to be the aggressor. That would play into FLoyd's counterpunching ability 100%. I always said if someone like Marquez gave Pacman hell for 4 fights, FLoyd would be his grim reaper.

 

If not getting hit but hitting your opponent is your perfected style, everyone it's tailor made.. Floyd is great at almost every style.. He fights everyone different and if he wants to, he will beat you with your own style.. Honestly, the only way fights will be competitive is if he decides to fight southpaw which he has the ability to...

 

Floyd fights nothing Like JMM, JMM is a counter puncher and a combination puncher, whilst floyd counter punches (pull counter), he's not really a counter puncher, he relies on defence and he only throws punches when he can throw and get out of there before the opponent can throw, thats not counterpunching, he also throw more single shots or 1-2's at most.

Floyd doesn't like trading punches, whilst JMM loves it because he can exploit it, mayweather likes to defend, defend then attack when he can, JMM mixes it up and does both at the same time - meaning whilst JMM can counter Pac a lot, Floyd wont be able to because he would often be outworked and when he looks to counter pac could be out of there because of his own footspeed.

Am talking abou the 09-10 pac, since then he has taken couple of steps back, whilst floyd has also taken a step back in my opinion, but his decline is far less.

In 09-10 it would have been 50-50 fight, with me slightly edging towards floyd, now Floyd beats him easier, but still has his toughest fight vs Pac - 116-112 Floyd - now

 

atsch

I doubt he will brawl with Maidana

 

You're right.. He won't because he has nothing to prove.. People thought he would just stick and move against his last 10 opponents.. He walked down Canelo and stood in front of him.. He stayed in the pocket against Cotto and Ortiz and used many styles against Guerrero.. It's not like he just has one style.. You game plan for him to sit back and counter, so he attack as soon as the bell ring like Canelo...

 

I never Said he has one style, but he has on primary style - Like most if not all boxers, he wont brawl with Maidana because he would get KO'd, he didnt stay in the pocket vs Cotto because he wanted to, he got pinned against the ropes vs Cotto, Ortiz is a bum, guerrero is worse - Canelo came in with a gameplan to box, which is *******d

 

Canelo is a boxer/puncher. Why would it be ******ed for him to come in with a gameplan to box?
