"If you were a trainer, what plan(s) would you develop to defeat Floyd Mayweather?"

Tomorrow evening is the cutoff date so lets get some answers in ASAP...

1- DO NOT fight Floyd's fight. Do not let him pot shot you on the outside all night. You must be prepared to stay on the inside more and be a hard fast effective puncher. Hatton had the right idea, but not the necessary tools.

2- I would not worry about the head so much early on in the fight, and try and focus mainly on hard body shots early. Maybe the first half of the fight. Then after that I would want my fighter mixing in more head shots. When on the inside as Floyd likes to roll with right hands, that is where my fighter would focus on hard rights to the side of Floyd's body as he has his left side wide open.

3- Mental games. I would have my fighter taunt and try anything to get under PBF's skin. To maybe try and get him to open up more with his offense and be less defensive minded in there.

4- Floyd loves the left jab to the body a lot. I would have my fighter be extremely prepared for that, by as often as possible time Mayweather with fast straight rights over his jab. Maybe get a flash knockdown on an unsuspecting Floyd.

5- Watch the Castillo fights to kind of get a blueprint how he nullified him, and to show that Mayweather is far from unbeatable.

6- Floyd is undeniably a superbly conditioned athlete, in order to follow through with a winning gameplan, my fighter would have to also be as well conditioned and mentally fit for a fight with Floyd.
