Which of Floyd's opponents, had they fought 5 times, could beat him at least once?

[hugh grant]

They all could potentially but floyd wont let them. If floyd fouught every 3 months hed lose and didnt have the luxury of lay offs.
Floyd dont give rematches as his style would be found out. Cotto is looking at tapes of what he did wrong against floyd and would beat him in a rematch as would JMM (i dont care how easily he lost the first fight, another fight is another day).

Interesting responses. For some reason I thought Delahoya would get more votes. As well as Marquez.

[smifnwessun]

none would be able to no matter how many times they tried this is lame

The problem with priming Floyds' opponents is that you have to prime Floyd himself. That would be a 130-135 Floyd and I am certain that he wipes them all out at his best weight.

At the same time, this thread juxtaposes that floyd fought the fighters when they were at their best, and was just superior/better than them.

Hell, forget about mosley being in his 'prime', if the fight had only taken place 2-3 years prior than when it did.....

Considering many people thought Castillo did beat Mayweather, myself included, obviously him.

[revs1227]

castillo arguably won

jmm- 4th times a charm for him

mosley - one more of those big shots and it woulda been over

hatton and cotto gave him very tough fights

were talking 5 times though

Castillo, that's it. The past prime version of Oscar in 2007 would have never beaten him. Maybe in his prime H2H at 147, Oscar would have probably gotten one win.

Castillo would have won a close decision once.

Shane could have fought him in 2006 if he wanted to....

Whatever the case. In 06, mosley had alot more fight in him. He was in the decline/going downhill by that point('06), but by the time floyd and shane fought he was already at the bottom of the hill.

Not saying shane would have beat floyd in 06, but in 5 trys its perfectly reasonable to think shane would have touched up and beat floyd atleast one time. Hell, id venture to guess that mosle wouldnt even have needed 5 tries to beat mayweather.

In the future, people are gonna look back at floyd mayweathers resume and see he beat mosley, completely unaware that mosley was so old and shot to **** at that point. Gonna be pissed lol.

It's comparable to when Donaire beat Nishioka this past year. Nishioka was the fight everyone wanted for Donaire, along with Rigondeaux, at the time. He was the #1 guy in the division, but he was clearly past his best days.

Mosley was the fight everyone wanted to see Floyd in, along with Pacquiao, at the time. Mosley was coming off the destruction of Margarito, and was #3 P4P at the time. But he was clearly past his best in the fight, which is why that was the last time Mosley was a legit fight for anyone. He should have retired after that fight.
