    Anyone can beat anybody, but who can step in the ring and not ***** out against floyds defensive style of fighting.

    No one on that list.

    The only person I can see beating Floyd is Winky Wright, just because he's just so much bigger than Floyd is.

    Taylor was scratched off my list as possible opponents that would beat Floyd after watching him against Cory Spinks. Floyd would embarrass him.

      I think on that List Cotto is the man... maybe Mosley on his best Night and Floyds worse.. Will also have a better idea about how REAL Cotto's chances would be after next weekend..

        I don't know what the hells wrong with people who fight Floyd Mayweathers. He fights the same kind of fight almost in every single one of his fights. He fights off the ropes and he relies mainly on his defense. I don't understand how no boxer can figure him out when he rarely changes his style up.

          Uh, Floyd has changed his style for numerous fights.

          Floyd is KNOWN for having such a versatile style.

          Exactly how long have you been watching boxing? 2-3 months tops? And exactly how many fights of Floyd have you watched? 2?

            Every fight I've seen of his he has had his back against the ropes.

              The only one who would give him real problems is Winky Wright.

                Really? Because most of the fights I've seen in him, he's dictated the fight from the middle of the ring.

                If you're just talking about spending 25-30 seconds of a 3 minute round on the ropes, and using that to say that "he just fights off the ropes" than you just don't know what you're talking about.

                Point out which fights where Floyd spent the majority of the fight against the ropes.

                I can think of 1 fight, maybe 2 fights out of 38, and that's Jose Luis Castillo and Jesus Chavez.

                  I honestly thought DLH had the best chance & Mosley the second best, but since DLH couldn't pull it off, I'm beginning to think Mosley won't have too good of a chance either. I doubt Wright's gonna be coming back down anywhere near Floyd, he's almost a light heavy weight at this point, tho he does have the best shot.

                    This statement here goes to show you know absolutely nothing about floyd or boxing for that matter. Floyd is without a doubt the best at figuring a fighter out and then exploiting their weakness.
