Can Anyone in the World beat Mayweather?

[Wiley Hyena]

Come on guys, get real. Nobody in Floyd's weight class, or even 2-3 classes on either side, can touch Pretty Boy Floyd. Maybe James Toney, if he could lose about 75 lbs, has a shot. That's about it. I just don't understand all these nuthuggers who think Mosely could lay finger on PBF. Not gonna happen. You put sole elevators in his shoes and PBF takes on even the big boys. Valuev? lol Cut off at the knees.

Ever since Arturo Gatti was disemboweled in his fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., it's been exceedingly clear to boxing insiders that Pretty Boy Floyd is the world's greatest boxer. Not even the heavyweights want a piece of Floyd's action. It is one thing to bludgeon an opponent with well hammed fists, but you have to catch him to hit him. And, with the exception of a Ricky Hatten match in England, grappling is not allowed in the sport of boxing. Thus, it doesn't matter who you are. Even George Foreman in his prime would be ripped up by the Floyd buzzsaw and eventually knocked out. The fact is that nobody can trap the lightening in Floyd's bottle.

This of course leads to the ultimate question that has lingered around boxing for the last year or so: Who would win in a fight between the great Mayweather and Muhammad Ali? Well, the general consensus of opinion is that Floyd would win in the 10th by overwhelming an exhausted Ali with his superior physical reflexes and almost superhuman strength. Not even Ali would be ****** enough to tangle with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on the inside. Therefore, Ali would play an outside game, and a veritable dancing contest would evolve. But, that's exactly the kind of game that most suits the quicksilver feet of Mayweather. By the 10th it's over, unless Ali managed to land that one lucky punch. Nobody's ever been able to do that to Floyd, so why should we believe that a lesser light like Ali could luck out on one big swing for the fence?

Yes, it's clear that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the greatest fighter that ever lived. Ricky Hatten, taking this fight was your first mistake. Your second mistake will occur when you step into the ring...with the legend.

I have not been on this board for a while now but people like you are, and have been so tyipically caught up in the hype. I am a fan and admit he has looked great of late, but he is rated where he is because of the manner of his victorys and not the apponent.

he hasnt fought an A+ fighter yet. An aged,rich, unhungry Oscar notwithstanding. he has a way to go before he is rated in my top 40 ATG fighters. He certainly has not fought in the same class as Oscar did in his prime.

To me he is not even at the same stage that Roy Jones was Before he fought Montel Griffin!!!!!!!!

The potential seems GREAT and Im content to sit back and watch!! See if Hatton can shed more light on the subject?

The post is sarcasm. Pure sarcasm. You'd have to be an idiot to seriously believe what I wrote.

Edit: After thinking about it for a while...I'm not so sure I was being sarcastic, after all....Hmmm.

No. You still missed my point. I'm NOT a Floyd fan at all. lol I hope Hatton beats his jock off. Get it now? And, I wasn't calling you an idiot, either.

Floyd's resume is better than Jones'.. Who has Jones beaten besides an out of shape James Toney and inexperienced Bernard Hopkins?

Are you suggesting that Floyd could beat Jones?

[sonofisis]

Who suggested that? Roy is a Lightheavy weight, Floyd is a Welter Weight. P4P, Floyd is the better fighter now of course. 5 years ago, it would have been a toss up. I addressed their respective resumes however, and not their talent/potential. Roy Jones has only beaten two allstar fighters in Hopkins and Toney. The others were B fighters at best and of course Tarver beat him in the first fight.
