The perfect style to defeat Floyd is speed and height.

I agree with everything you said but being stronger doesnt always mean he hits harder than Corley. Plus Corley has a better chin than Spinks so Spinks might not be willing to engage as much as Corley did. I don't think Floyd would dominate Spinks because Spinks is a good boxer with great speed. I just don't think Spinks would win though.

 

Yeah Tommy definitely has KO power. He better not run out of gas down the stretch though because I have never seen Floyd get tired. I won't even go as far as saying he'll beat Tommy but it is a good debate to be had. Imagine if Floyd had Judah's power.

 

At times he shows a great ability to attack the body though he has never truly dedicated his offense to it. Against Zab he used it to sap Zab's energy and slow him down. Some of the body attacks resembled pop shots but he did sit down on them and they did take effect. Once thing you won't see him do is hit someone witha three or four body shot attack sitting down on each shot, it would leave him most vulnerable and that is something PBF does not do and that's allowing himself to leave himself vulnerable.

 

Paul Williams would be an interesting matchup as would Vernon Forrest. The only pressure fighter right now that I would give a decent chance to is Miguel Cotto.

 

I think that the perfect style to defeat Floyd (at 147 or 154) is someone with speed and stamina. Not neccessarily tall. Look at Judah...he was outboxing Floyd in the first 4 rounds of their fight, but the pace was too much and he couldn't continue fighting like that in the next rounds.

 

Zab had speed,but look what happened to him. HAtton will beat floyd. ANd im willing to bet on it.

 

i thnk DLH had the right stratagy to beat PBF but he abandoned his jab ...when it was working really well... i dunno why......but i thnk the best way to beat floyd is a very good jab... then combos an cuttting off the ring jus to overwhelm him an keep the pressure up... cuz PBF like to throw 1 shot at a time so he would lose rounds an u could possibly land a goodshot

 

Many styles and strategies could beat Mayweather he isn't unbeatable,its just he has been very careful who he has chosen as opponents as he has moved up in weight,and none have been good enough.Spinks hit and run at LM,Williams at WW ans Hatton at LW all have good chances of beating him but once again Mayweathers people have been pretty clever in challenging Hatton at 147

 

He didn't abandon anything PBF took it away.:deal

 

Movement and counterpunching.

 

Exactly you beat me to it.:good

 

He didn't need to use his jab as much against someone as easy to find as Mayo.

 

I'd say effective pressure and lots of stamina are the best to beating floyd. Cotto has exactly those 2 things. DLH showed that mayweather can be hit on the ropes. The only problem was that DLH couldnt maintain that pressure for a full 12 rounds. Well, it just so happens that Cotto is the best pressure fighter out there and he gets stronger as the fight progresses. Not only that, but he cuts off the ring much better than an older DLH with no stamina.

 

Well, Hatton is verry fast but hes short, shorter than Mayweather. And Floyd is also the better technician of the two. Should be clear whos the favourite in this one. i would be suprised if hatton wins this. But i dont think height has much to do with it. If Hatton would be a powerfull puncher he would have a better chance but he isnt, hes an volume puncher or flurry puncher, his one punch power is not better than Mayweathers. I would be suprised if hatton would land manny of his flurry attacks on Mayweather.

 

Mayweather's movement started to be more effective over the course of the fight, mostly cause he started figuring Dela out. Mayweather would create some space and as Dela closed the gap, PBF would attack and move again. That made it tough for Dela to use the jab. If he did toss the jab out there and miss, he knew Mayweather would be fast enough to counter him. So instead, he was trying to bull his way in.

As for Mayo, no need to jab at all. He didn't need to try to find him as Mayo's defense is crap.
