How to beat Mayweather

[BITCH ASS]

Floyd has a huge ego.

While you could argue, it is the key to his success, it is also his biggest weakness.

You gotta beat him at the press conferences. Ricky did a really good job tellin Floyd that he can't dance and makin people laugh in the process.

I bet that got Floyd hot as fuck.

If I were Ricky, I would attack his music videos next and make sure to make everyone laugh. Then ask Floyd to explain himself, but mock him in the process.

That's how you get in his head and make him fight your fight.

You wanna make Floyd brawl. GET IN HIS HEAD.

[Oscar de la Roa]

I think the same

[Nawfal]

i dont think youre going to throw a proven champ like floyd off with that. hes been boxing for probably 25 years. i rekon he has heard it all before.

Or it may bring the best out of him.......:good

[Thread Stealer]

I think Floyd uses his ego and anger and insecurities and everything to his advantage in the ring. It's a controlled thing in there. Floyd talks a lot of trash and when someone says something back to him he seems to get mad (Gatti, DLH) but it doesn't show up (negatively) in the ring. I think Floyd was already irritated by the adoration those two get anyway.

The best thing to do is to have the right gameplan(s) in the ring.

I agree but its kinda hard to talk more shit than Floyd, i dont think anyone is as insecure and dilusional as he can be.

[madpup]

Floyd is a workaholic in the gym and prepares for his fights as well as anyone. I totally disagree.

Think about how strong and smart you might be sometimes.

Then think about how a girl can entirely fuck up your day if she really gets in your head.

Same logic.

Agreed, good post. You can say what you want to Mayweather, he'll still turn up in the best shape. you just have to beat him on the night...

[djfonti]

Great point!!! Just look at what Larry Merchant did to him after the Baldomir "fight"...

Didn't see that, what happened?

[Brickhaus]

Do you really think that's even a possibility? I think his style is so well engrained at this point that you couldn't possibly pull him into a brawl, but maybe that's just me.

I think you make a good point. Look at what Leonard did to Hagler...he was very nice and respectable toward him in the build-up to the fight and Hagler decided to try and outbox Leonard, which was the worst mistake he could have made. Even though Hagler trained like a beast and everything it still didn't matter because he chose the worst gameplan possible...Leonards only chance was if Hagler tried to outbox him and that's what Hagler tried to do. Hatton's only chance is if he can try to get Floyd to outbrawl him and I think trying to get in his head like Leonard did Hagler will be Ricky's best chance to get Floyd to brawl. :good

[BITCH ASS]

Only person who can get inside Floyd's head is somebody like ROberto Duran or Ricardo mayorga. You got to smack him around during the press conference and get really personal with him, like putting down his crackhead family or something.

I think you have to make other people laugh at Floyd.

Hatton might be successful at this.

If you're up there acting like an idiot, I don't think Floyd will budge.

You have to make Floyd think that everyone in the world is pointing and laughing at him.

Lol ok so everyone who wants to be a boxer should forget going to the gym and concentrate on jokes because "making people laugh" obviously wins you the fight!!.. :lol: the fact that Floyd IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD.. doesn't mean nothing of course!!,

Oh man, the way Fatton fans are acting you would have thought Vicky was like Dave Chapelle at the conference, he wasn't he just made snide comments that are funny to Hatton and his silly fans only, that's it.

Nah, I'm not sayin that.

I'm sayin that the only chance Hatton has of beating Floyd is if Floyd wants to brawl.

Floyd isn't gonna brawl unless he has to or he's so mad that he can't help himself.

He might get caught.

I think the best style to beat PBF is that of Paul Williams. He is rangy and throws thousands of punches. HE couldn't KO PBF but he will most likely outland him.

I am not sure how Hatton's style against PBF will play out. I hope he can tire PBF down in the later rounds and score some clean shots.

[Guru_Too_You]

LOL.

Pathetic.

[BITCH ASS]

LOL.

Pathetic.

[McGrain]

I think getting the right fight plan and executing it properly is far more important than shouting at a press conference.

[bigeddie27]

you are not going to get inside floyds head EVER. this guy trains harder than anyone else out there (and prolly harder than anyone the sport of boxing ever had i think) and that kind of dedication shows true mental fortitude. You have to break floyd in the ring, an almost impossible task.

[Guru_Too_You]

?

See above post by McGrain.

PBF has hated DLH since the first time he saw him. He hated Gatti for talking about his personal life to the public. He despised Zab as well.

Did he brawl in any of those fights?

[Guru_Too_You]

oh gosh..

you and Floyd are like good buds huh..?

No, I just read mang. Its all there for anyone who wants to put some evidence behind their claims.

Troll on.

[Jose FM]

He's not as insecure and depusional as your hating ass..:rofl

You can say that i hate, but delusional and insecure is something that Floyd is, its not an opinion its a fact, now piss off :piss

Damn. The straw clutching continues! How about a voodoo curse? That might work.

[IceJohnScully]

I tell you one thing... Ricky better not plan to stand there and only try to overpower Floyd...angles and steps will carry the day for both guys, whoever does it better will have the best chance for victory

Now if you can explain how someone with those types of issues managed to remain at the very top of his profession for so long. YOu'll really make a believer out of me. Good job though.

[rodney]

There is only one way.
Thats with your face --- hoping he breaks a hand or two and cant continue.

[brooklyn1550]

I wouldn't put to much into the press conferences. The bottom line is you've got to have what it takes to beat him in the ring. We will see come December 8th whether Hatton has what it takes. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.

[Alo2006]

Obviously nobody in boxing know how too, he's 38-0.

[China_hand_Joe]

"Im better than Sugar Ray Robinson" -FMJ-

Maybe he is actually better.

[bachatu]

Obviously he is difficult to beat because he is undefeated. I dont think there is a formula for beating a guy like mayweather, because he is a very well schooled boxer who keeps his hands up and doesn't take chances which often can lead to mistakes and he doesnt like getting hit or getting into exchanges. One thing I noticed is that his work rate (punch output) isn't that high when he feels threatened. He prefers to pick his shots and run. If my theory serves correctly, I think a guy who can beat him, at least by points, would be a guy who can put constant pressure and simply overwhelm him with punch output and not get tired in the later rounds. Obviously, they have to be skilled enough both defensively and offensively in order to do this. Defense will have to be good enough so they wont get hit at will (Gatti vs Mayweather) and offensive will have to be good so they can actually pose a threat to where he will want to run instead of exchanging punches (Castillo vs Mayweather I or Dela Hoya vs Mayweather).
Some fighters have done that in the beginning of the fight but not throughout the entire match, running out of gas and letting mayweather take over in the later rounds. So stamina I think will be big.
I would say the figther who poses biggest threat to mayweather at this point is Shane Mosley. Mosley has speed, power, agility, stamina and generally outpunches his opponents.
I think in regards to outworking Mayweather, someone like Paul Williams can potentially beat him...simply for his punch output and reach advantage. Ricky Hatton can potentially out work him in the sense of using his physical ability of clinching and smuthering in hopes of wearing out Mayweather to allow openings.

[twenty1]

there is no money for a FMJ vs Cotto.....thats real talk

[DanePugilist]

The best way, is not at the press conference, but thrashing him in the ring; the higher they fly, the harder they fall... and PBF would fall a long way.

[Ambition_Def]

Options are what make guys like Mayweather so hard to defeat. Someone who has been involved in boxing as long as he has cannot be pigeon-holed into one style.

Basically if you sit back and let him make decisions in the ring you are done.

The guy who beats Mayweather is the guy who is gonna lay it all on the line relentlessly attacking him and not giving him a moment of peace. It will not be a boxing match. It will be a plain brawl by design. Think what DLH did only more commitment and energy.

Hatton may be able to do it but he will need a bit of help from the ref to allow inside holding and hitting. If that happens I believe Hatton will defeat Mayweather.

Shut up. I guess you never seen what happens when a guy tries to tie mayweather up and hit him. He still slips the punches and counters them as he will do Hatton and Floyd can physically jam his elbow in hattons neck making him weary of even trying to punch b/c he got an elbow in his neck. Floyd has an answer for whatever hatton does. Floyds lateral movement is going to make a-clinchathon impossible. Remember ODH couldnt walk throught Floyds punches..he backed floyd up with his jab..thats the only time he was effective that whole fight. What is hatton going to back floyd up with...just his ferociuosly ugly face...NO..I cant wait to expose the brainless retards like you.

[Haggis McJackass]

I cant wait to expose the brainless retards like you.
You won't expose shit. First, all you do is suck on Floyd's dick, so you're just a gay little cheerleader, and your opinion is no more valid than any other scrotum-sucking retard.

Second, Hatton is a significant underdog, and virtually nobody on this board, including the English, are actually picking him to win. So, in all likelihood, Mayweather will win, and then you'll come on this board and scream about how stupid everyone is and how smart you are, when all you've done is back the p4p #1 fighter to win against a clear underdog.

The only thing you will have done is further confirm what an asshole you are.

Now, fuck off.
