Who is floyds biggest threat?????

[F l i c k e r]

Just as fast as Floyd? Ummmmmmm - not a ****ing chance Shane will EVER be, if he ever WAS, as fast as Floyd. Floyd uses HIS speed and countering to pick apart Shane. Sugars only hope is to get into a brawl with Jr. because as you said, he does hit harder but Floyd isn't that ******. Take the Judah fight for example. Shane get's outclassed in this one IMO.

No, my friend. I think you need an understanding of what speed is...

Speed is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change of distance. So in laiman's terms; speed(in boxing) is how quickly your fist moves from point A (your guard) to point B (opponent's face/body).

Shane is called "Sugar" for a reason. All Sugar's have incredible speed (among other things). Sugar Shane Mosley's speed is much greater than Floyd's speed. Zab Judah's speed is vastly superior to Floyd's. So you are very wrong in saying Floyd's speed is greater than Mosley's or Judah's.

Floyd doesn't have great speed, he has decent/average speed. What he does have is incredible, and I do mean incredible, "agility". You may also need an understanding of what agility is...

Agility is a rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus(or punch in this case).

Floyd's agility is so great to the point in which he effectively mastered the shoulder roll. Which is very hard to do, unless(which every trainer will tell you), have great/phenomenal/outstanding/incredible athleticism. Athleticism is a combination of things but you will find Agility is the number one thing to athleticism.

Floyd uses his incredible "agility" to dodge an oncomming barrage of(or one) punche(s). At which he combines his great timing and knowledge of the game of boxing(which punch is best for what & when to use it), to effectively pick apart(counter) his opponents.

When not countering. He uses his incredible footwork to close distance at what seems like an instant, at which he uses his knowledge of timing to give the ILLUSION that his speed is off the charts. When in reality, his speed at best is B+. When he combines all of his skills, he is a prodigy of boxing. Which is why, SKILL WISE, no one can beat him.

You use the Zab Judah fight as an example to show Floyd's superiority. When in reality, to the trained eye, it shows all of Floyd's flaws...

Sad to say it but its true... And I am a very big Floyd fan.

Cotto......

[Del Coqui]

I'd say Cotto and Williams. He can outbox Shane, its a bit harder to outbox Cotto or Williams.

Jose Luis Castillo.

Its pretty hard to say. Floyd shows problems with speedy guys. Power oriented guys aren't much of a problem for him but people who beat him to the punch gives PBF the most problems.

Paul Williams only asset is a long reach. Not enough to beat Floyd. As a matter of fact I will go on to say... He cant beat Floyd period.

Mosley is speedy and has power but he relies way too much on that right straight. So I dont know if Mosley would be the biggest threat. A definite threat due to him having the possible speed to beat Floyd to the punch.

Cotto is a power oriented guy that doesn't have the advantage of size. So with that said Cotto isn't really a threat at all. In terms of ranking and stats(Resume), Cotto is a threat. In terms of skill and ability, lets face it... dumb powerful guys aren't a threat to Floyd. A speedy, agile, intelligent tactition. Cotto's game plan will be to target the philly shell's (shoulder roll) weakness. Which is to hit the forward shoulder with big power shots. Floyd isn't ****** and knows this. So he wont let Cotto, the slower guy, go for that gameplan. Cotto would end up on the losing end of a Unanimous Decision.

Pacquiao is a powerful, speedy, and agile guy. He goes in quickly, throws a fast and furious combo, then backs out just as quick as he went in. I dont know who is the faster man out of these two but if you watch the Zab-Floyd fight, then you will see speedy guys give Floyd problems. Pacquiao's skill set is very similar to Zab's and he also has better footwork than Zab. Now you give Zab a brain and he would have beat Floyd. Pacquiao is a pinoy-Zab Judah with a brain. Identical skill set but way more intelligent.

So with my explainations said... Manny Pacquiao is the biggest threat to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

hahahahaha

judah + brain = pacman
