Just see how Jones Jr's eagle's claw completely neutralized the Snake's fist of James Toney, no excuses to perform so horribly.
Have enough speed, power, and stamina to last 12 rounds. Swarm em fast snd strong nonstop. Change your game plan almost every round to prevent him from adapting. Dont get impatient or confused. Have excellent reflexes. Dont fall for his tricks like tapping gloves. Have a solid defense. Have a good chin. Be the aggressor. I think there is a bit more to it, but this is a good strategy that would cause him many problems.
I think that having a longer reach/ arm length is the key. He has freakishly long arms for his height and it allows him to control distance, even when he fought the taller Corralles he still controlled distance easily with his jab to the body. De La Hoya is the longest armed guy that Floyd has fought and i thought he won convincingly but he definitely looked uncomfortable at times.
It'd be interesting to see how he would adapt to longer armed greats like the two Sugar Ray's and Hearns.
Castillo did beat Floyd Jr.
You certainly cannot box him, you have to outhustle him and take him to the ropes, not throw one and two punches. But many combinations, . Most boxers want to rip his head off which is the mistake, you have to maul his body to slow his footwork, and then work yourself up. #Kill the body and the head will die.
1st, pretend you aint got no power and play slick boxer to get to his "sweepstake"... yea, specially if hes in the arena watching you fight. you can pretend you got suspect chin by fallin down from time to time....yea that will fool him and once you got the fight... you drop your "slick boxer" bullshit... hell yea you gave him that granite chin and swarm him, dont you dare box him cus everybody tried that and lost, you gotta pour it all, just cut the ring w/ your great footwork and corner him when he decide to run all night and pot shot you to victory. dude, am tellin you, the guy is the greatest boxer of this era, nobody can outbox him, however nobody was able to challenge his stamina and chin, nobody was able to have brought it to a certain level, you can start there if you are a relentless speed demon.
Castillo came close but Floyd won the late rounds. You have to pressure him not outboxed him.
@Ray. Saying a person was robbed is your opinion. I thought it was a deserved victory.
1) land a lucky punch and knock him out.
2) Be a better boxer
3) Rob him
4) Wait until he is too old.
me how would i do it? easy i go for a judo throw if he lands good and isnt hurt from the throw i follow it up with stomps or take the mount and hammer fist his head intill he or i is done
Do what Castillo did.
Or put him up against a big welterweight in his prime [unlike Oscar de la Hoya].
Don't let him avoid Prince Naseem, Morales, Casamayor, Freitas, Tszyu, Prime Cotto, Prime Mosley, Margarito, Williams and Pacquiao.
Oh no wait, they all avoided him, I forgot about that
You will get paid like 30 million dollars to fight him. Who cares who wins you're getting paid $30 million. I'd let him break both my legs for that kind of money
Watch the First Castillo fight.
You're suppose to swarm him not outbox.
