I'm sure I'm gonna be called crazy, but I don't see this as a easy showcase fight for Mayweather.
Stylistically, Paulie could give Floyd some problems. He has the speed, the elusiveness, the ring savvy to be competitive with Floyd. Obviously, I would FAVOR Floyd in this bout, but I don't see Floyd completely and totally outclassing him. Paulie has a great jab and movement, but his Achilles's heel would be his lack of power which would make it a somewhat safe fight for Floyd. He may take chances against Malignaggi.
The fight would defo be boring, though. I don't know if this would be a great choice if Floyd is trying to win fans over.

This has the makings of a very entertaining 24/7 and a glorified sparring session come fight night. :439:
Malignaggi beat Diaz in a more consistent matter than Marquez did. He has more speed than Marquez, is bigger, and I don't think he will be as easy to find. Floyd will win the fight though.
It would be mildly entertaining but not a whole lot of drama in the contest. In the ring there would be some decent action, but I just can't see the fight going any way but Mayweather winning in dominating style.
It is really bad. It's two counter punchers who do everything they can to avoid a fight. They would probably spend half of each round staring at each other while circling.
Yeah thats what they said with JMM and Floyd. But Some how the boring, counterpunching, potshoting Floyd was able to completely dominate JMM in the most one side fight in history. The no heart counter punching Floyd somehow knocked out an undefeated Hatton. The potshotting FMJ won every round against the lineal WW champ Baldomir. The nonagressive Floyd completely destroyed an undefeated Corrales. Sadly, Floyd is just too good for his own good. A week ago when it was proposed that Pac would fight Paulie no one said sh*t but now when Floyd might fight him its a travesty. As a Floyd fan i hope Floyd fights Paul Williams so that all these haters will shut their mouths. Unfortunatley even after Floyd dominates the no defense, inaccurate, easy to hit, off balanced and wild punching P. Will these haters will still have something crazy to say.

Paulie would lose badly, infact Mayweather may even walk him down.
Paulie is a predictable fighter who fights in rhythm, he also moves the same way and a lot of his jabs are not that accurate, if you watch the first Juan Diaz fight you take a look how many of those jabs actually land on Diaz.
IMO the 24/7 ain't gonna be that great. Both guys talking sh1t bout Pac, and both saying how great Floyd is. I think Paulie's gonna be like a teenage girl meeting the Jonas Bros. I hope this fight is just a rumor and Floyd fights Bradley or waits for the winner of SSM-Berto.
Yep, Floyd is Paulies idol. But then Floyd would insult Paulie and Paulie will get all butt hurt...
I thought Bradley was a Showtime boxer? That aside, I would like to see that fight.
Didn't you see what Hatton did to Malinaggi?
Exactly, Paulie beat Juan Diaz WOW!!!!!!! Let's put him in with the best fighter in the world. PBF should fight Paul Williams at 147 or Berto/Mosley Winner or both
you bet taylor over ward?
you gotta let me get in on that too, my dude!
Lol....im a taylor fan and I want to see him win his last couple fights. I dont normally bet on fighters I like but I did it this time. If he beats Ward its Cinderella man 2010. One can hope right?
