who is the threat to mayweather now?

Mayweather wouldn't have a ton of trouble with Berto's lack of defense. He is an offensive machine, but Floyd's defense and counterpunching would rack up the rounds for him. He also seems to be kind of weak-chinned... Cosme Rivera. Agreed, Berto's defense is lackluster at the moment but this is something which usually improves as a fighter's career progresses. We'll find out more about Berto's chin as he steps up in class.

zab judah i cant believe i said it but judah IF mayweather sr can focus him then hopefully he'll become mentally stronger, his speed is already immense and his has decent power and hopefully he'll have a defense to match with Mayweather sr. in his corner. It's a big if though.

his threat is himself, he is throwing his prime years away when he loses because he is rusty he is gonna be crying like he always does this it will be with real tears

I think Cotto is capable of beating Mayweather. I think Berto has the style to beat Mayweather but is too inexperienced at the moment. De La Hoya will give him problems again. Mosley would give him problems as well. Mayweather wouldn't have a ton of trouble with Berto's lack of defense.

Could be right, but I remember him saying he;d even go down to 147 if DLH would fight him back when he was persuing that fight. Wink's always performed well and hasn't really seemed to ever be drained by making weight, the only fight that comes to mind is the Hopkins fight, but that was because of all the weight he carried into the ring. It would take a hell of a lot of money to get Winky to make that weight. In other words, Oscar money. It's been over three years since he made that weight and it just isn't in his best interests. Yeah, well pretty much every fact in boxing has an asterisk by it that means that it is not true if Oscar De La Hoya is willing to fight them.

Wright ain't making 154 anymore IMO. It would take a hell of a lot of money to get Winky to make that weight. In other words, Oscar money. It's been over three years since he made that weight and it just isn't in his best interests.

Who u lot think is the threat to mayweather at the moment? I think its cotto i mean people dont realise how smart of a boxer he is and how much power he has. Mayweather is a very technical boxer but so is cotto thats why he could rival him more then anyone and if mayweather is inactive to long then takes a fight with cotto hes going to have alot of trouble. Because cotto is a late starter so he would have to be prepared for a long night and hes done alot of damage to his last opponents. How he broke down judah was sickening he didnt even knock him down first time judah jus dropped from being so tired and beat up this is the same judah that gave mayweather alot of problems. Mayweather has trouble with pressure fighters imo and there isnt any better then cotto at the moment that whole ricky hatton myth was just for fans and money we all knew ricky wudnet win. zab hurt cotto and ya man went low! Let the year play it self out cuz Cotto-Mayweather is something for 2009!

At 154, there's more probable people who could beat Floyd, but at Welter I don't see many besides Cotto. At 154 Floyd could potentially lose to: Forrest Wright Spinks Wright ain't making 154 anymore IMO.

Cotto but I still think Floyd would beat him. I think FLoyd is unbeatable, he adapst to every style there is and makes himself look good doin it. I honestly think whoever he faces he will win he is just that good.

Most of the top 10 are a threat to Floyd but his largest threat would be Vernon. I still think Vernon always had the style to beat Floyd. I don't see Cotto being able to pull it off but he IS the most logical opponent at the moment. Well if we're talking about 154 then there might be a couple of guys who'd beat Floyd just based on being technically sound and physically HUGE compared to Floyd. That's how Vernon would beat Floyd, which in my opinion is not that impressive, just a case of biting off more than one can chew.

I think that a lot of Mayweather's appeal is the auroa of invincibility that he carries into the ring. That alone doesn't make him a fan favorite, but it makes his fights major events. Hatton appealed to fans who like to think of themselves as being able to identify with overachievers. A Mayweather-Cotto fight will appeal to fans of a blue collar work ethic and fans of high level competition in addition to any fan who just wants to see who will win. IMO, if given the proper amount of time to simmer in people's imagination this fight between Mayweather and his one true rival will be a HUGE event. Cotto is the only guy who has a right to call Floyd out right now. BUT imagine how amped people are going to get when Cotto win 3 more fights and you really don't know if Mayweather is going to beat him.

they said the same thing about roy jones jr :) :owned: what's ur problem with all the bullshit hating on jones today? the first 100 hate posts were enough for today! i mean really, can you knock the dumb shit off, and stfu about it ffs?

No one is a threat to Money May RIGHT NOW. Wrong. Would he be favored against anyone? Of course. Are any other fighters a threat to Floyd? Of course. Judah caught him and was beating him early. Corley caught him with a big punch, and Corley isn't considered a KO artist. Had a big puncher caught him like that it, it could have been over. De La Hoya's jab had him in trouble. Fighters who pose a credible threat to Mayweather Miguel Cotto - because of his accuracy and body punching. Shane Mosley - because of his speed. Vernon Forrest - because of his jab, and boxer-puncher style. Juan Diaz - because of his accuracy and high workrate, as well as pretty good defense. Hell, there isn't even a big weight advantage for Floyd in this fight. Kermit Cintron - because of his power, but only a small puncher's chance. Cory Spinks - because leftys are the solution to the Floyd shell, and his slick boxer style with a good jab attack could give Floyd trouble. Would I bet on any of these guys against Floyd? Not likely, but they are do have a conceivable shot to beat him.

it would have to be someone like he hasnt seen before. he has beat fighters like cotto before (though not in their prime like cotto is). im going to go with cintron would give him the best good fight. Cintron has the size that everyone said paul williams would give floyd problems, plus floyd has never fought anyone that has that much power.

No one is a threat to Money May RIGHT NOW.

Dang how many different titled Floyd threads can be made about the same exact thing, my gosh. You people keep Floyd on your minds. hmm tell me about it.. people must be dying to see the fight. i hope it happens, and everybody can shut up about who they want Floyd to fight.

No One. No one is on the same level as Floyd. No one will beat him. they said the same thing about roy jones jr :) :owned:
