Which Welterweight Has the Best Chance of Beating PBF?

dum thread mayweather beats all of them memba yall need to stop talkin bout past matchups. NONE OF THEM HAS EVER FACED DEFENSE AND QUICKNESS THAT MAYWEATHER HAS

I'm just saying that Cotto is a better version of Castillo and he would pull of the win against Mayweather, something Castillo couldn't do. Cotto would beat Mayweather, why do you think Mayweather hasn't faced him yet? lmao this has to be a joke

No he has no titles now. He is not a champion. A champion is defined as someone willing to take on all comers, so yes he is a champion. He is willing to take on everyone.

I think Clottey may have the better chance but he wouldnt win either. He takes to long to get started but we all know he can bang with the best of them. Cotto has a weak chin and if he runs out of gas, he's doomed. He also get with to much. I like Cotto but he didnt show me anything in the Margarito fight to make me think he would defeat Floyd. Margarito and Williams despite their height advantage and punch out put get outboxed easily. Mayweather beats them all.

Paul Williams on points.

I always heard Mayweather claimed Cotto was to green to fight him at 140. He said Cotto needed to make a name for himself or something like that.

Why didn't Cotto want to fight at 140. Cotto wanted to fight Mayweather ask deevel to put the quotes off them at 140. Cotto has always been willing to fight anybody, no matter who. He is a true champion.

I think Cotto has the best chance. Cotto has problems with pressure fighters like Margarito and Mayweather is not one of them. Cotto hits harder than Mayweather and is almost as fast. I'd say he'd have the best chance of beating PBF. Margarito would not beat Mayweather IMO. Cotto was foolish in deciding to trade with Marg, because he thought that it would make a more interesting fight, which it did. Mayweather doesn't care about how entertaining a fight something is, he just wants the W, and he'll run around the ring for twelve rounds and decision Marg if he has to. Williams, Clottey, or Mosley most likely won't beat Mayweather, but Berto I think may give Floyd a run for his money.

Lose like he did against Mayweather. Please don’t get into that argument I thought he won. A lot of people thought Mosley won and Judah was affected by those low blows. It doesn’t work like that. I'm just saying that Cotto is a better version of Castillo and he would pull of the win against Mayweather, something Castillo couldn't do. Cotto would beat Mayweather, why do you think Mayweather hasn't faced him yet?

Jose Luis Castillo Jesus Chavez Diego Corrales Hearts and courage doesn’t always win, mostly yes not always. Holyfield had way more heart than Bowe but Bowe was too good. Like Mayweather sed 39 had heart and 39 come up short. Cotto is more like Castillo and Castillo in the eyes of many defeated him in the first fight, in the rematch no but in the first fight yeah. If Catillo can do what he did to Mayweather and Cotto is a better version of Castillo, imagine what Cotto could do.

Paul Williams.

That is calling being stunned not hurt. When you are hurt you hands are down usually and have troubled walking and you are confused. Mayweather was hit few steps back and was perfect again. Hurt is Quitto vs Corley. What boxer good as Mayweather did Cotto fight and had the defence and timing of Mayweather?? Past his prime Mosley or Judah??? Paulie Malignaggi, he is always running backward like Mayweather, another example of Cotto's style being perfect against boxers just like the Mosley and Judah fights, except that Judah could also brawl but went backwards in the Cotto fight. Cotto wasn't that hurt against Corley, and you really can't compare Cotto at 140 to Cotto at 147 in 140 Cotto was dehydrated whereas in 147 Cotto is at the top of his game, so being hurt with Corley at 140 means nothing. I ask you what fighter has Mayweather fought that has had the strength, heart and determination that Cotto has?? By the way: I'm not comparing Paulie with Mayweather. It was just an example of how Cotto's style can beat boxers.

Judah barely knocked down Mayweather his gloves barely touched the gloves. Quitto would have to be chasing Mayweather all day long. Judah one of the fastest fighter today only connected 17% of his punches; I don’t think Quitto would do any better. Mayweather has no problems with fighter his size. Bigger fighters who are relentless and fats most likely will beat him not Quitto. I think you just undermined your own credibility, there's an actual replay by HBO of that round where you can clearly see Mayweather touching the canvas with his glove. However, it would still have been a flash knock down. Comparing Judah and Cotto to make a predicition can't be based on anything, two completely different fighters. If we would compare skills Judah would be beating most WWs only because he is in fact one of the most gifted fighters even today, he just doesn't have the heart and focus to match. I think Cotto would still have the best chance of defeating Mayweather simply because he's an all round skilled boxer/puncher. The only way to defeat Cotto so far seems to be by hurting him and Cotto has faced much bigger punchers than Mayweather. Cotto would actually be able to pressure Mayweather and adapt throughout the fight. If Williams were to fight Mayweather I think it would be an easy fight for Mayweather as well. Quintana basically boxed and circled this guy and got the decision. Mayweather has a lot more in his bag of tricks and I think would put on a boxing clinic.

Mayweather has better stamina and chin than Quitto. If it’s a 12 round fight Mayweather with a easy wide UD or even a late stoppage. Best performance was against Judah after Kostya and Mayweather done with him and those low blows did affect him. Or was it a fight against Mosley past his prime and which it was an extremely close fight. Mayweather would handle Cotto speed with ease and his power shot woldn’t be able to faze Mayweather. Mayweather nearly knocked down Oscar in that gif, Oscar just hanged on to Mayweather or he would have fell. He has stamina and chin than Cotto but to say that Mayweather could stop Cotto is not possible. If Judah can hurt Mayweather so can Cotto, since Cotto lands better punches than Judah and has more power than Judah. Cotto fought a past his prime Mosley but that's the same as Mayweather fighting Oscar which was a closer fight than the Cotto vs. Mosley fight.

Is this the best clip Mayweather got??? The punch just got in the eye and just got shocked up. Look how fast it took him to compose himself. Like it was nothing. Look how he was low at the first place when he went for the body shot. Nothing special and is this the best shot Mayweather has got hit with, shows how great his defence is. That wasn't the point, you said that Judah hurt Cotto which proves nothing since he also hurt Mayweather. Cotto would beat Mayweather because his style is suited for Boxers, being hurt in past fights means nothing since the times he has been hurt it has been against fighters who come forward, not runners like Mayweather.

I really don't know. Can Mayweather even fight the best at 147, or are they too big for him? It is sometimes not clear about how a fight will go until the fighters get into the ring, just look at Cotto v Margarito! Cotto had up until then been a destructive beast at welter, but was made to look small, weak and vulnerable by Margarito. Floyd is even smaller so could the same not happen? Sure Floyd is a class above in terms of skills but if he can't take the shots he's going to get into trouble. Best evidence we have is that Floyd handled De La Hoya OK, so I think I'd favour him against most welters. Williams or Margarito would certainly be interesting though.

Punisher will beat Floyd.

Williams by far as I've said for over a year

Judah barely knocked down Mayweather his gloves barely touched the gloves. 0:26-0:28 Quitto would have to be chasing Mayweather all day long. Judah one of the fastest fighter today only connected 17% of his punches; I don’t think Quitto would do any better. Mayweather has no problems with fighter his size. Bigger fighters who are relentless and fats most likely will beat him not Quitto. Cotto maybe would be chasing Mayweather around since the only thing that Mayweather does is run, and Cotto lands better punches than Judah since Judah's stamina doesn't allow him to fight well for more than 5 rounds unlike Cotto that could give his best for all 12 rounds and Cotto also has no problems with fighters his size in fact his performance is extremely better with fighters his size.

Of course you think Quitto will be able to beat Mayweather. You are Rican and still not coming to terms what happened to him. If he can’t outbox a very slow boxer for 12 rounds, no chance against Mayweather at all. Judah was able to hurt Cotto and will also he was able to hurt him and he won’t get as easy as Judah did. He did outbox Margarito, just because he got busted up by huge shots doesn't mean he outboxed him, and Margarito's and Floyd styles are extremely different, so you can't compare them. What's your point about Judah hurting Cotto? Judah also hurt Mayweather (almost knocked him down), and Cotto does hits harder than Judah. He would beat Mayweather if they fought, his style is better suited for fighter's like Floyd.
