people say you need a good jab to beat floyd..LIE

A southpaw won't need a great jab to beat him.

What's a lie is that you have to have great defense, and out'slick Floyd to beat him. Did CAstillo have a great defense? What about Oscar, who parried or blocked most of Floyd's punches? All you need a solid , tight defense. Floyd doesn't throw combinations. His offense is fairly predictable. A good, stiff jab helps. Good ring generalship, throw the right combinations, and be a bit clever yourself. A southpaw has a lot less to worry about.

 

Look at Wlad. He practically beat u with his jab. A good jab is very important to have to beat Floyd. Oscar had him for the 1st 6 rounds, until he avoided using it for the rest of the fight

 

You need a jab to beat Floyd. I agree with everything else though. The main thing you need is the ring IQ. If your ring IQ isn't on Floyd's level your not going to beat him.

 

Mayweather will destroy Pacquiao

 

i agree floyd feeds off the jab.

 

' keep all that **** in the middle '

 

He slides his head slightly to the left but his shoulder stays in place and he fires the right hand, well thats what he did to shanes jab.

he did that to manfreddy aswell

Oscar he pulled back and countered

 

Naz? lol

''HE USING THAT ELBOW ON US BAYLESS!''

 

:good Agreed.

 

If vernon didnt have a good jab im not so sure he would have been able to control mosley most people without one will end up in a war with mosley without it. shane was looking for the jab so much he never saw the right and thats were the trouble began

 

feints only work if your faster then him judah was (not anymore) and when he was feinting he ws able to capitalize but they stopped working ofcourse

shane who was not faster an took many jabs to his face aswell as right hands while tryng to feint

 

One thing about that jab is, you don't need to get lazy with it and use it at the right times. Mayweather wants you to use it so he can do the pull counter over it. He would tell Shane has jab was **** in the fight so he would throw it just so he can throw the right hand over it

 

You need a jab to throw off his timing. A good jab can neutralize speed.

Vernon Forrest (RIP) would have been a nightmare match-up for Mayweather IMO. Always felt that way. And I'll take Forrest in that fantasy match-up 9 out of 10 times. If you want to get historical.... Thomas Hearns would have caused him some serious problems as well.

Styles make fights... and I've always felt a lanky fighter with a solid jab is who will beat Floyd. I don't think anybody who is shorter than Floyd, or has a reach disadvantage has much of a realistic shot.
