    I wasnt asking if they would beat him. I asked who out of all of them would have the best chance of beating him. Meaning your supposed to pick one and tell me why you think they could do it.

      I understand........

      I understand exactly what you are saying. Problem is, MAYWEATHER isn't in ANY OF THESE FIGHTERS LEAGUE to be honest. He hasn't had that type of adversity in the ring and would most likely lose to them all. This post is a very good one at the same time I question what you think of Mr. MAYWEATHER? Are you a fan of his? This is a question you pose for a REAL LEGEND. Not a guy who can't spell LEGEND. You know what I'm saying? I know the guy can fight BUT he's just a HALL OF FAMER, not a RING LEGEND. He screwed up his legacy because he fights for money and takes the elast risks. That won't get you very far when it comes to being remembered. I have more respect for fighters like MICHAEL NUNN and JAMES TONEY and OSCAR DE LA HOYA and FELIX TRINIDAD and even OBA CARR. Know why? BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT THE BEST. IT's that simple.

        It isn't a question of chances. They all beat him period. The better way to frame the question would be "Which of these fighters does Mayweather stand a remote chance of getting away with a gift split-decision against?"

            Do you really think that Floyd gets beaten by all full stop? I mean come on, Oscar made Tito look terrible and Floyd is more elusive and just as skilled as Oscar. Chavez had trouble with Taylor's speed, I think he would have his hands full with Floyd. Duran was troubled when Leonard boxed and moved. I mean it goes both ways, Floyd gets tough fights from these guys too, but I think you have to recognise there is a pretty good chance of Floyd coming away with a clear win over at least one of them.

              I disagree........

              Hey man. It doesn't go both ways because all these fighters named know what REAL adversity is inside the RING. They are all proven RING WARRIORS. Battle tested with every style imaginable and found a way to win. FLOYD has never seen anything like HEARNS, LEONARD, WHITAKER, CHAVEZ, or duran. FLOYD weaknesses would get him beat and K.O.ed by a couple of these fighters like LEONARD, DURAN, HEARNS. His weaknesses are......his punch output per round, he is succeptable to a good jab, he relies on superior reflexes to perry punches and doesn't have the best legs. He gives you his body. This is why more than likely he loses to all these ring LEGENDS. They all throw a lot of punches and are all good body punchers with good jabs. He is not on their level and shouldn't be compared to such ring LEGENDS. That's why I shake amy head every time he calls himself the greatest. What a joke. LoL. He's a good fighter but if you can throw a lot of punches and have good head and foot movement, you can beat him. MANNY PACQUIAO!

                I think they all beat him but Trinidad. Chavez & Duran would do worse then what Castillo did in the first Floyd fight. The rest are just bad style match up's for him, his defense will be his downfall, he has a ****ty work rate. The rest are bigger and would probably just outwork him with the jab, especially sweat pea.

                  Chavez has a slim chance of beating Mayweather IMO.

                    SRL has the best chance IMO. He does just about everything better than Floyd and he is a large ww at that.
                    • Duran gets beat horribly.
                    • Tito gets beat convincingly. Not horrible but still a pretty convincing decision.
                    • Chavez gets beat but not like a complete domination. I give the edge to Floyd because of his timing and Chavez doesn't do anything that exactly troubles Floyd.


                    Whitaker is 50/50 either way. It would be a chess match, a really long boring chess match.

                    Hearns would beat him as well but I think SRL has a better chance at doing it.
