Roger Mayweather Reveals Secret To Beat Floyd......

Thats why I think Mosley might need a KO to win. Or he would have to give him a severe beatdown.

Its going to be hard to win a close fight with Mayweather on the scorecards.

 

He's not saying a jab beats Mayweather, he saying with Mosley skills, he could have a better chance with an jab. Mainly beccause he still has good hand speed :yep

 

i wonder why pac wasnt mentioned..he knew pac would destroy mayweather..

 

You say it as though he avoided the guys. Who is "a jabber" in the lighter weight classes?

All you have to do is review FMJ's toughest matchups. IMHO those are Castillo, Corely, and Judah. One guy used RELENTLESS pressure and a granite chin. FMJ said there was an injury during the fight, rematched, and shut the guy out. The other two where FAST and slick. None of them were "jabbers". We can give Oscar credit, but that fight was only competitive if you were a hardcore ODLH fan. How he won on a card is still beyond me.

Sad to say, but a solid jab is becoming a lost art.

 

Corley and Judah are southpaws. The whole jab thing doesn't apply here. The way Floyd likes to hold his guard leaves him a little open for southpaws, even not-elite ones like Corley and Judah. On the offensive side though, Floyd has what it takes to give a southpaw hell. So I think Floyd vs a southpaw will always be a little bit more of an offensive fight from Floyd because his defense is not as effective and his offense is more effective.

The Castillo fight is different because at that point Castillo did not have to respect PBF's power. When that happens, its a different story. There aren't many fights where one fighter doesn't have to respect the other's power. Thats why I thought Margarito would have beat Floyd even though he didn't have the style to do it, just based on the fact that he could walk through Floyd's offense without really stopping his momentum. Apart from Castillo back then and Margarito I don't think there are any fighters who can literally walk through Floyd's power, which is not amazing but still decent enough to get respect.


You know who has a solid jab? Cotto. That right there is the kind of jab that I believe could give Mayweather hell

 

The "secret" to Mayweather's secuess is that he makes his opoents fight when they should box. So yes having a good jab helps a lot in beating him.

 

I agree with Roger....but the jab ain't the only way to beat Floyd. That is from only a Technical or tatical standpoint. When you got other natrual attributes with regards to ones talent, athletic ability and couple that with style and skills it will be a problem for Floyd.

It's funny to me that MOST of Floyd fans have tried to say that DLH vs Floyd wasn't close at all.; That was Floyd's toughest fight in terms of being on level with talent and skills. Sure Floyd won but it was still a very close competitive fight that could have gone to DLH in some eyes.....not for me...I though Floyd won that by 2 rounds.

 

Yeah, I really need attention from a site I check periodically between running errands... Very good comeback...

About 6 years of posting on here and 900 post... This site is really a major part of my life...:good

Why don't we talk about the judges that saw the fight a SD??

 

Yep, though I don't agree with Philla who claims DLH was not a jabber, when the dude used to triple his jab up in his prime with lightning speed, I do agree with that statement.

 

what I mean when I say he was not a jabber is that the jab was not his primary weapon. More of a combination puncher with a great left hook as his best punch. I agree with you that Oscar had a great jab though.

 

I can see your points, but I disagree in that I think Corley and Judah where better than you give them credit for.

I agree on the point about Castillo. I think it was the injury though. I also agree about Margarito. I felt that was the most dangerous matchup for the same reasons you did. That one can still happen.

I could agree with the Cotto analysis in the past, but he still would have lost. Cotto is not slick, can get drawn in, and Arum would never let the match happen.

 

De La hoya is a converted southpaw. So his jab is with his strong hand. a lot of power but to lead with it would tire him faster. Same thing with cotto.

They are probably left foot lead as well. To much power in front but nothing to stablize the back foot. I agree with Phill a here because jabbing with the strong hand should feel akward for most people.

 

Best jab killer Ive seen is Marlon Starling. Mayweather ? not so much no.

 

This makes sense, but against Margo Shane had a pretty steady jab, I recall him hitting him square in the face three times fast. Of course Floyd's defense towers over Margarito's, but his Jab can be effective. Oscar did well but overthought in the ring, while Mosley is gonna be hungry.

 

39-0?
