Who Would Mayweather Rather Not Have To Deal With?

[Addition]

Margarito for me. Marg simply can't be stopped and would not stop coming at Floyd, Floyd would be kept busy all night.

I wouldn't say so against Zab Judah. Not even almost but if he was its because he was forced to chase Judah for his KO. Against Mosley he knew he couldn't close the show and he also knew he was ahead so he fought of his back foot and boxed. I'm not saying he wasn't tired at all that obviously had something to do with his inability to get in there and go for a KO or to seal the deal but I've never seen Cotto completely box himself out.

Yeah, he definitely works at a slower pace, and it seems to work for him because most of the punches he throws they land. Cotto has very good accuracy with his punches.

As far as I know, he still says Burton was his toughest. Not De La Hoya. After the fight, he said Oscar was one of his easiest fights and he was surprised how easy it was. He said Hatton was tough, but it's not like the fight was tough. Hatton was never close to winning more than a round or two. Burton wasn't winning rounds but he was landing some punches. Hatton wasn't.

Here's what Floyd actually said:

"He was definitely the toughest competitor I ever faced," Mayweather said. "I was throwing body shots, and he kept coming. I see now why they call him the 'Hitman.'

So I was wrong. He didn't say toughest fight, actually, literally.

He said it was a tough fight and one of his toughest. He DID say Emmanuel Burton was his toughest ever bout.

I was wrong, technically.

He said the Burton thing several years ago when at the time it still was.

Chronology.

lol he said that during the prefight to DLH/Mayweather and he SAID during the post fight interview that Hatton was one of his toughest.

Let's see it.

that digresses from the main point though. Floyd can deal with any pressure, wasn't Hatton "Mr. Pressure". I still wonder why people STILL say that is what will beat Floyd.

Do you think he lost to Castillo?

[MANGLER]

Floyd vs Tony would be different than Floyd v Hatton cuz Marg wouldn't get knocked silly by Floyd's counters. Hatton ain't big/strong enough for 147 and Marg looks like a damn super middleweight. Styles make fights, and even though Floyd could beat Tony it wouldn't happen nearly as easy as him beatin Hatton. Hatton's faster than Margarito but Tony makes up for that by bein tougher and stronger. His pressure would get to Floyd a lot more than Ricky's.

Cotto is the more difficult fight and Cotto is the one everyone is pressuring Floyd to fight, no contest. Sure Margarito has a tougher chin, but be honest, Floyd isn't stopping either one.
