Could Mayweather defeat any of the current middleweight champions?

If Floyd was so concerned about keeping his 0 why would he go to Junior middleweight to fight a much bigger Oscar when he could have done it at a catchweight like Pacquiao did? And why did`nt Floyd take the catchweight Cotto offered him?Floyd instead told him he`ll figt him at his weight even though Floyd weighed in far below middleweight on fight night. When Floyd signed to fight Zab Judah it was before Zab lost to Baldomir and that was considered a very risky fight for Floyd.Zab was coming off of a impressive win over a prime Cory Spinks who was an excellent boxer.And Zab went on to give Floyd problems in that fight. I'll give ya' that Oscar was somewhat risky becuase of his size and former greatness. And because I'm generous, I'll not dwell on the "former" part of the equation. How long ago was that? Zab had already been KTFO by Kostya and in no less brutal fashion than Hatton (whom is generally considered "damaged goods" by the time Pac got to him) got knocked out by Floyd. I'm a big Cotto fan and was proud of his performance in that fight but Cotto was definitely the underdog. That he did as well as he did was a surprise to most. It was no kind of stretch when PBF took that fight. I thought that taking on Victor at the time he did was moving in the right direction (and said so various times), but by fighting the Guerreros and Alexanders he's regressing and getting older simultaneously. :thumbsdow

I don't think so. Floyd is heavily skilled, but for a guy like Martinez who has speed, power, size advantage, and movement, it wouldn't be the best move for Floyd going on 37 years old. But Floyd isn't a "small" Welterweight contrary to what some have said. He's been a legit Welter for years now.

I think Mayweather would have a bigger problem with the punchers (GGG/Quillin) than with the boxers (Geale/Martinez).

Oscar and Floyd both started at 130 but Oscar was already a wash up Coke snorter who tired after 8 rounds that is why Floyd fought him.

Floyd isn't a puncher at 147, let alone middleweight. He doesn't have the power to hold off a middleweight with a good chin. Skill can only take you so far. Boxing 101: A good big man beats a good little man. He has good power if your sucker punched .

Is one over 40 ? If not than none of them

Yes. Not that he would or should but yes. He would be a favorite against at least two of them at mw.

NONE..... he wouldn't fight any of them to begin with. Martinez would kill himself to come to 150 to get a fight and that fool still wouldn't fight martinez.

If he fights any of the champions at the middleweight limit he will get manhandled and beaten up, brilliant fighter no doubt but not big enough for taking on the top men in that division. Have you seen Geale fight?He`s as slow as a elephant throwing a right hook under water.And he`s very limited in skills.Floyd would beat him easily.

Mayweather squeezes out a narrow decision victory against Sergio (wins a comfortable UD @ 154) Wide pts decision against Golovkin in a non-competitive affair (this is the same guy that went life and death with a SHOT Ouma for christs sake) See above for Quillin And i've never seen Gaele fight, but based on the simple fact that he isn't American and has never fought in America, i'm pretty sure he blows donkey nuttz. No need to even entertain that scenario. I seen Geale fight and you are right about Geale,he`s terrible.Anybody that seen Geale fights and thinks he could beat Floyd is either a Floyd hater or an idiot.Floyd would win every round against him.

I think he can beat all the light middles and any MW that can make 154... But he lacks the courage to try. Don't misinterpret this to mean I think he's a physical coward. I don't. I'm sure he has no physical fear of anybody. What he he lacks is emotional courage. What would he do w/o his "0"? :ugh: He can't risk that. His ego couldn't take it. He'd probably flip out and have to start takin' psychotropics and layin' on a couch badmouthin' his daddy to a shrink.

Peter Quillin, none of the other guys. Too big for Floyd, he's not exactly a big 147 lb guy, and the fights he's had at 154 he didn't even weigh in at the limit. People need to pump the brakes, he fought at 154 twice and they were purely for the money and draw. Cotto and DLH were pretty big money fights. He isn't campaigning at 154 because he isn't a 154 pounder. To think he'll beat 160 guys is laughable, the only reason I think he could maybe beat Quillin is because I think he's garbage

I don't think he can beat them. He may be a better boxer but fighting bigger guys is different especially to a guy that doesn't want to fight guys the same weight as him whhile they are in their prime.

No. Those guys are too big for floyd. If you think otherwise then you don`t know squat about this sport.

Mayweather is still small for a welter, he only gains a few pounds after the weigh in. When he fights at 154 he does it without putting on extra weight. He could actually be successful at 160 but he would need to actually move up in weight as in putting on muscle and his current training and conditioning program isnt designed to do that nor do I think he would add in a strength coach. He could get that guy that helped hopkins go from 160 to 175. I dont think he will ever do it, but it could be done. His style doesnt depend on power and his stamina is excellent. He could outbox all of those guys at 160 over 12 rounds. He just needs to close the weight gap a little bit. Pretty good summery bud , I agree its only a size thing , as for boxing ability he could beat them all easy if they were WWs , the only thing they have is they are a lot bigger and that would force him to fight like the version that beat Baldy I dont know if he still has the legs to be that mobile again , the Floyd of late cannot sit stationary giving away so much weight and strength away , Floyd is not even a true 154 fighter and like Jeff Mayweather said where does it end , he came from 130 and fights them at their healthy weight , and that " at their healthy weight " makes a world of difference .

Fact is Mayweather has never came in the ring over 151 on record. The only reason people want him to fight middle weights is because he really is that good. This is common knowledge that we all can research. But to answer the question only chance any of those guys have against mayweather is size. Ask yourself honest if those guys were welterweights would the idea of those fights even cross your mind? How can u say its a fact when he continuously refuses to weigh himself on fight night? That being said as a Floyd hater I must say him fighting at MW is too much to ask for. We need a more even playing field. At a catchweight of 154 I would give him a good chance to beat GGG and he beats Quillin but I think he goes through hell against Martinez and gets Paquiao'd
