What fighters would give Mayweather a stylistic disadvantage?

You couldn't be more wrong learn something about boxing and come again. Margo can't outbox PBF and he can't knock him out how does he win? PBF's footwork and reflexes are so beyond what Margo can handle he could dictate distance on his plodding ass at will. In short he could hit him with lead right hands and be gone before Margo could even react. Margo would be forced to reset all night long. I honestly think PBF would set a compubox record for power punch connect %. It would be funny to watch.:yep

 

Demetrius Andrade. Tall, fast, rangy southpaw who can box.

 

Hearns is a stylistic nightmare for PBF as well. Pea Whitaker would be a hard match up for him to if he was bigger but he's too small.

 

Sweet Pea v Floyd would be an ATG for the purists.

 

tommy hearns 100% beats floyd

 

i thought so to but he handled pacs hand speed just fine

 

:deal
I agree.

 

Khan is too dumb and one-dimensional to beat PBF. After PBF adjust to his speed then what? What's Khan's plan B? Canelo already showed you how you can adjust to him and wreck him. Canelo can do this but PBF can't? Please!

 

A dream match up no doubt.

 

In Recent history their style at their best.

Aaron Pryor @140lbs
JCC Sr. @130-135lbs
Roberto Duran @135-147lbs
Tito Trinidad @147lbs
Tommy Hearns @147lbs-154lbs
Oscar DeLaHoya @135-147lbs (Prime)

 

Hearns the most
Srl...fast offense and a huge ring iq also
Srr..no explanation needed
Many others
But just because the style is difficult does mean pbf loses all of them.

 

- Fast hands.
- Long reach.
- Great reflexes.

= Points decision IMO.

 

There is only one guy that fought Floyd how you had to fight him. Everyone else was gunshy in the end.

Jesus Chavez.

If you didn't use skill and aggression you couldn't beat Floyd. Fighters like Maidana and Chavez had success against Floyd because they were not afraid of the incoming. Maidana eventually had respect for Floyd but Jesus Chavez had no respect for Floyd, none. Margarito had the aggression but not enough skill and he was never in Floyd's class, Williams had the aggression but not enough accuracy to beat Floyd and Kostya just wasn't aggressive enough.

Only a ***** out fighter gives Floyd a possible stylistic nightmare and Chavez is the only fighter that I saw who had a very good chance to shake things up if he was allowed to finish the fight. Why that fight was stopped I don't know.

 

Some good outside the box picks so far. Here's another: Prime Tszyu would have a stylistic advantage over him IMO. On his game, he was precise, carried exceptional timing, and had wicked power. His offensive game is perfectly suited for defensive fighters with movement.

That'd be a fight I'd love to have seen.
