First of all, Margarito was a walking punching bag, he wasn't **** without his hand wraps. Mayweather would sleepwalked to any easy decision if they ever fought. But he and Paul Williams are irrelevant to how Mayweather would deal with Spence. Spence is definitely not his kryptonite. The kid is too stiff and robotic to give even the past prime version of Floyd trouble. Spence would spend the entire fight eating jabs and check hooks.
Yeah, like Floyd-Maidana I.
Floyd declined to fight both Margarito and Paul Williams at WW. Spence is far more dangerous. His style would be brutal for Floyd. Floyds little rope a dope shoulder roll wouldn't work on Spence, he'd love that. He's pound the hell out of Floyds body.
He's also a lot larger than Floyd. The question isn't if he'd win, its if Floyd would fight him. No, he obviously wouldn't. Just look at Floyds history.

I hope Manny fights Spence next, assuming he beats Horn, which is abooout as easy a fight a champion has had since Garcia fought Salka.
The sport needs a guy like Manny to take on these young guys so the sport can grow. The division needs unification fights desperately and with Thurman out we need Manny to do what is right for the sport like the great ambassador the TS says he is.
Floyd retired so we need to not put him above the sport by constantly talking about him and talk more about active fighters.
Manny isn't going to let the fans down and avoid Spence, is he?
froid gayweather jr would duck anyone with a pulse until they either got old or were already beaten and not 100 percent.
If froid ran from a little asian midget for 6 years what makes you think he will fight spence?

Pretty much spot on by everyone here!
Floyd would destroy Spence. Brook was out boxing him for the first half of the fight.
You think Spence can beat a guy like Canelo? Canelo would eat him alive.. even Crawford could potentially beats Spence. I like Spence he’s the truth but he’s not unbeatable, brook was out pointing him easy. Spence has a relentless style and keeps coming forward and goes to the body really well.
As much as people hate Mayweather there isn’t a single current fighter that beats him. Not Spence.. Crawford or Thurman.
The truth is, Floyd almost definitely would have avoided Spence.
But that is fair, because Spence is far larger than Floyd. Spence is bursting at the seams at WW, while that is what Floyd walks around at. Spence packed on almost 20 lbs for the Brook fight, after weigh in. Floyd avoided GGG at 154, and again that was always a fair choice. Floyd isn't a 154 pounder, no reason to fight the best there.
Imagine a WW version of prime Floyd adjusted for size. I know that's a weird thing to say. But Spence could beat Floyd at WW, doesn't mean he is better. Floyd at the weight he was bursting at, was close to unstoppable as well.
You need another fighter bursting at the seams of WW to beat Spence. Like Spence said to Brook, you need a fighter your own size. Currently that would be Thurman. Still think Spence probably destroys Thurman, but I'm talking about the people with the best chance. Historically, Tito could of course KO Spence at WW, imo.
This is delusional and I like Spence. He's got nothing for Floyd. Spence is too robotic to beat Mayweather. Kid gets timed and derailed too easy. Brook was tagging him with shots early before Spence wore him down. I would pick the current washed up Mayweather to school Spence. Would probably look like the Canelo fight.
He would not stutter but try to be his friend I think. Then Errol woulf be like "Fight me right now". then the stuttering begins!
Would Spence steal his woman?

That looks like after Floyd fought Cotto. His eyes were a little bruised and busted up. Is that pic from after the Cotto fight, am I right?
floyd never ducked anyone. when baldomir was the next big thing he took him on even though everyone thought he would be killed in the ring.
Funnies thing I've heard all day.
look at this ******, he literally took me off ignore to post in the thread hahaha
Spence would have Floyd stuttering worse or about the same?

Well, Floyd thought he'd duck brook to fight berto.
Floyd should have fought brook instead of maidana as well
What? Hahahahaha. Dude you have less and less credibility by the post.
Hahaha word. Brook went from B- boxer about 4 hours ago to so good that beating him means you can beat Floyd.

Spence went from a overhyped bum who got hurt by Lartey to Floyd destroyer in one weekend....... that boy done well lol.
