    Floyd will have problems with Mayorga and Spinks

    if mayorga gets floyd ever
    i think mayorga can actually get to him
    he has a pretty good chin at welterweight
    vernon forrest couldnt really get to em
    and mayorga would be able to take floyds hits too
    cuz floyd wouldnt try to rally or assault mayorga
    he'd pop shot em here n there cuz he knows rm can hit hard
    and mayorga would try to bulldoze throo em
    wen he throws,he throws exceptionally quick and really hard

    what yall think?

    and i think floyd will have a problem wit cory spinks too
    corys a slick southpaw like zab judah
    but spinks actually focuses for a whole fight

    what u think aggain?

    Spinks is a bad style match up for anyone including Mayweather. He always fights at his range and it's very hard to get a clean hit on him.

    As far as Mayorga. I don't think his connect percentage would be above 15. He throws nothing but wide looping shots and is one of the most undisciplined fighters to ever lace em up. I think Floyd would decision Mayorga quite easily.

      i think you need a second opinion, but i do not feel like giving you one right now, so i'll let dios or somebody else explain why you're out of your damn mind.

        Mayorga would get a clinic now. the Mayorga who fought 6 heads lewis would give Floyd fits, but now hes older so......... and i have always favored Spinks to beat Floyd. as much as i like Floyd, i like Spinks better (slick southpaw. LOL) its hard to see anybody out boxing spinks. i have never seen it. his only losses came from fighters that just out worked him.

          In other words "I'm not intelligent enough to argue this with you, so I'll let some idiot who calls himself "Dominican God" do it for me."

          Mayorga, not a chance.
          Spinks, maybe, he doesn't quite have the speed or the power that Judah has, but he is a better boxer and he does fight 12 full rounds.

            [sarcasm]i think whenever someone who weighs around 154 and comes off with a recent win he will automatically give floyd problems [/sarcasm]

              I think Mayorga wouldn't be able to catch Floyd with his looping shots. Floyd would pick them off and shoot straight shots and won't miss. It would be an easy UD for Floyd.

              Spinks would be, as stated above, a bad style match up against almost everybody. It'd be an unbelievably boring fight IMO. I think Floyd can pull off a decision here as well.

                I have to say floyd would decision mayorga pretty easily.

                plain and simple.

                mayorga isnt a very technically sound fighter (to put it kindly) and gets wild at times and take too many chances in the ring. while sometimes it puts on for an exciting bout its just something that wont work against a great defensive minded BOXER (not brawler) in floyd mayweather jr.

                the only types of fighters i can really see beating mayweather are:
                A) fellow defensive minded boxers (along the lines of spinks who just basically out box him)
                B) someone who out works him (even if its not landing punches...like what oscar de la hoya did with him...thats why i give hatton such a chance because hatton has the capability to outwork floyd).

                to beat floyd you have to match him speed (or effectively cut off the ring) and beat able to outwork him.

                mayorga i cant see doing that...especially at this stage of his career.

                  look at vernon forrest
                  he did it to mosley n said a jab beats speed
                  and he did prove his ****in point by jabbin n settin up rite hands
                  hard rite hands
                  floyd will have problems with
                  1)vernon forrest
                  2)cory spinks
                  3)ricardo mayorga
                  4)zab judah

                    I'd watch one of those fights, the other.. I'd hate to watch, I still might.. But.. Jesus...

                    I think Mayweather beats them both, however. I think he has tough fights. Mayorga has looping shots, however, he does have power that might force Mayorga to worry. He's also a hard fighter to read, with his crazy style/awkwardness and angles.

                    Nonetheless, Mayorga, by a decent UD.

                    Spinks gives him trouble, but I don't see Spinks having the stamina to outspeed Mayweather for a full 12 rounds. Def. don't see the power to take him out either. Spink sgot gassed against Karmazin, so imagine what might happen with a guy he has to stay away from. Boring fight, with a small UD or SD win for Mayweather.
