How on earth is someone going to beat Mayweather

[InThisCorner]

lol stfu man speak some english.

[smokeyjackson]

yea hatton would get taught a boxing lesson, he would miss horibbly and be embaresed. if they fought n the us, it would b hattons last fight here. he would then fight nobodys and stay in the uk. margarito has the best chance, i think he would beat pbf but i dont think arum would threw pbf in with tony.


ME THINKS YOU TALKING ****

if Mayweather fought Hatton we would see a different fight to what most of you are saying, Hatton wouldnt just stand there and get hit like Gatti did and he wouldnt get close close to him and throw nothing like Corrales he would take that body out then we would see how lively PBF is then when he isnt as mobile as usual, you are all underestimating Hatton just like you did when he fought Kosta Tzyu and we know what happened there, its about time some of you americans excepted that we have good fighters in the uk.

[smokeyjackson]

and if PBF gets ideas about jumping up to fight Winky Wright that unbeaten record of his will vanish and he well get a good hiding

[The Golden Boy]

its about time some of you americans excepted that we have good fighters in the uk.

You do have good fighters in the uk, and Hatton is one of them. But Mayweather is beyond good, he is exceptional. He would take Hatton to school.

[smokeyjackson]

i dont think he would take Hatton to school, if you think that then your wrong, Mayweather is a very good fighter but Gatti made him look exeptional, Hatton would be in with a very good chance of stopping PBF late on when the bodyshots have caught up with him and PBF isnt as quick on his feet

[The Golden Boy]

if you think that then your wrong

It's hard to argue with someone who takes their own opinion as gospel but ain't nobody make Mayweather look exceptional except himself. He is the one putting in the work, he ain't just drop out the sky with skills this good.

[smokeyjackson]

sorry if i gave off the impression everything i say is gospel its just im sick of the brit bashing thats going on, im not saying im right or wrong im just giving my opinion, but Gatti in my opinion did make PBF look like the greatest fighter in the world and he wont do that with Hatton and if PBF thought he would he would be on his way over here to beat the man who beat everyones p4p best fighter Kosta Tzyu

This talent is ridiculous.

Watching him spank a very good Diego Corrales, which I consider his best performance ever, and I just dont see too many weaknesses. Ever so often, such as the first Castillo fight, PBF isnt as sharp. Could be the hand issues, maybe he just had an off night. But still, I just dont see too many weaknesses.

He moves fast
He punches fast
He throws every punch in the book well
He blocks well
He slips well
He has good power, although not great
He doesnt lose composure
He doesnt seem chinny
He has amazing footwork, never off balance
He throws punches picture perfect
He doesnt hotdog in there and lose focus
He comes in great shape every fight
He has cobra reflexes
He goes to the body
He's a terrific counter puncher

WTF! This isnt fair! Other guys like Roy Jones were tremendous fighters bt their technical shortcomings were never exposed because they were such superior athletes. Mayweather does everything right.

I guess the biggest risk he faces is simply a matter of size; bigger guys walking through him and hurting him. Hattons rough house stuff COULD break him down some, that type of mugging can hurt anyone. The problem is other people have already tried that with Floyd but he manages to wiggle free and restablish himself.

So, if youre a trainer for an opponent of Floyds, where do you begin? Whats the game plan if youre guiding Ricky Hatton, Zab Judah, Carlos Maussa or Miguel Cotto? What weakesses do you see in PBF? How do you get him off his game and fight in ways he doesnt want to?

Thoughts?

like bernard, only time will tell... he'll one day meet his jermain taylor... or is he?

floyd is great, but everybody losses sooner or later.... i think a world class, tall, boxer type would have a good chance to beat him, like vernon forrest.... oscar, shane and maybe even harris have a chance... otherwise, i think cotto would be a good match...

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

I think we another boxing reign like Roy Jones except Mayweather will fight good people.

Replace that with "except Mayweather has good people to fight" and you are right on. Lightheavy was not so talented in Roy's later years, but Floyd is surrounded by talent at 140. But anywho...

1) Floyd was already beaten. Castillo clearly and convincingly beat him in their first fight. Supposedly, Floyd injured his shoulder in this fight. Perhaps that explains why he won the rematch (although I never saw the rematch).

2) Floyd can definitely lose to good fighters in higher weightclasses (Margarito, Judah, Wright, Karmazin, etc).

3) It is by no means out of the question for Hatton to beat Floyd. Hatton has very short arms and can only overpower Floyd, but he has a chance.

4) Injury is a way for Floyd to lose.
