Mayweather has made a career out of fighting slow fighters. I can't even recall when was the last time he was in the ring against some who's naturally fast with movement.
If you look at Mayweather's opponents in last 7+ years, all have same style and ALL were slow/flat footed.
I would like to see Mayweather against someone fast with good movement and Speed, someone who makes Mayweather work, and can challenge him in terms of work rate and volume.
No more slow fighters, time to fight someone fast like Pacman ,Amir Khan even Keith Thurman and Tim Bradley.
with that said I don't see him fighting someone with any sort of footwork or movement.
I think its a high possibility of Mayweather losing 7 rounds to any of these, IMO.
thoughts please?
:lol1: I've heard it all now.
Yeah it takes more than speed. Speed stamina and power. All attributes that would give Floyd an extremely tough fight. Pacman possesses those but is no longer in his prime.
whats the surprise
Go watch some ricky Hatton highlights...the best Pressure fighters of the past 15 years were Jose Luis Castillo, Ricky Hatton, Glencoffe Johnson, Margarito, and a few others.
Ricky Hatton had very good hand speed and foot speed....was a very good athlete. Just because a fighter isn't the stereotypical slickster doesn't take away from speed.

Khan has decent power at best. Floyd has fought MUCH harder punchers.
Don't down play it...Judah started getting busted up cause Mayweather found his range and adjusted. The shoulder roll isn't againt a southpaw is your lead foot is on the inside because your head is always in line for the straight left. He started fighting out of a peak-a-boo and those body shots and accurate combos were more reason than him just mentally breanking down
Mayweather is just a better fighter, more skills, more dedicated,not a frontrunner....Judah is one of the rare guys who match or even surpass his natural gifts.
A prime Judah matched Pacquaios and Khans speed, power and explosiveness but did not have the punch output. Pacquaio is a better offensive fighter, Judah is a better defensive fighter and more of a counter puncher. Pacquaio is also a better fighter. Physically they were equal but Pacquaio was/is mentally stronger and has a better chin
Judah def hit harder and more explosive than Khan
Its gonna take more than just speed....Judah, Corely were good athletes with hand and foot speed....Ricky Hatton was one of the fastest most athletic pressure fighters in recent years. Speed is nice but you better bring more to the table

I'm far from a Khan fanboy.
But that attribute is something Floyd is rarely faced with. The last time he was faced with it he didn't look too comfortable and got dropped.
Who would win?
And I'm asking again, who are these fast fighters Floyd didn't fight?
Because Floyd has fought someone in his career who matched him for speed, stamina, chin and power hasn't he?
The last time he faced someone who matched him for speed (Judah) he got dropped and was down on the cards until Judah gassed out and had his usual mental breakdown.

You could easily say the same thing about Khan fanboys.
"He got speed doe".

Vegas needs Floyd to keep that "0", expect nothing but the same cherry picks. Maidana was a rare cherry pick gone wrong - that's as close Floyd will come to defeat from here on out.
was canelo a cherry pick cause i sure remember people said mayweather was scared to fight him? the funny thing is people at one time said floyd would duck guerrero almost shows how ridiculous it can get with the cherry pick and duck crap
I like how people actually think speed is all it takes to beat Floyd.
I thought we were waiting for Arum stadium?
Do you ever get tired of regurgitating the same old chit?

WHo are these fast fighters Floyd hasn't fought? Other than Khan and Pacquiao. Other than those two, nobody can match him in speed.

Its better be Manny or Khan, heck I don't mind Bradley or Thurman either.
But its probably going to be Danny Garcia or Cotto for Floyd.
You guys watch it will be Cotto.
We probably have to go build the perfect opponent for Mayweather to fight, because all of the above does NOT exist. And even they did exist and he fights them it would be lame excuses after excuses.
Of course, that's why he hasn't faced Manny yet.
Cotto May 2nd book it.
