Which fighters could beat Mayweather?

[EmpiresBoxing]

OK, your friend DJsomething is a true boxing fan, give him those names

If he's a neutral boxing fan then there's no need to give him names as he already know it.

So, you don't have any names
Just gay AF excuses

No need to reply
You're a waste of time

Have fun not watching Haney vs Loma

If you become a boxing fan and not a mayweather fan i will be very happy to give you all the names but for now you're just a waste of time mate.

Don't worry I will have a very good time watching haney vs loma mate and i know you're very frustrated with mayweather fights specially with a 100lbs japanese vendor.

Don't know why they continue with prime Pac. Prime Pac had a lot of trouble with Marquez and Floyd is a bigger much better counterpunching style.

They already mentioned here who had the better chance and are bigger fighters with skills and a good jab. ODLH jab got neutralized during the fight after the initial success and not having a right hand hindered him. Same with Cotto, skills, power, a good jab but the right hand was lacking.

Precisely this. I wonder how many people in this thread have actually watched at least 1/4 of Mayweather’s career. He was a killer at the lower weight classes with an absolutely sky high confidence and power to boot.

As someone who’s CONSTANTLY watching careers of different fighters, I’ve always felt personally two fighters in particular who would’ve given Floyd fits. I’m sure there are more besides mine but these are the ones that come to mind:

Winky Wright @154……bad match-up for anybody, highly defensive, fastidious jab, never overcommits. The reason why I include Winky is because Floyd had at least 1 fight at 154 and they were fighting around that weight class only a couple years apart.

If we go throughout history, the one that always springs to mind is a prime 147 Tommy Hearns. Whipping jab, fights from the outside, can fight on the inside, atomic bomb of a straight right, stamina for the full 12, solid chin up to 154. I would bet comfortably on him @147.

A prime Mayweather beats everyone at welterweight right now. I’m either getting old or holding current welters to unrealistic standards.

Everyone avoided Winky, hard fighter to beat and was highly skilled. Vernon Forrest would had been a very difficult fight for Floyd

Excellent post!

Would that Oscar have 25 lbs on him, it made a lot of difference, look how puffy Floyd was compared to his 147 fights, he accepted everything glove ring weights to get the fight.

Oscar came off KOing a MW and Floyd out boxed him, later Manny fights him 25lbs lighter than the Mayweather fight and they claim that was an atg win.

I don't think WW was Floyds best weight, if we go the other way 130/140 who is going to beat Floyd, I can only see Duran but if DeJesus can beat him Floyd can. 147 and over I can see a lot of full-blown great WWs that could beat him, when we are talking ATG fighters size then becomes a big deal, rarely do atgs move up and fight atgs, not prime for prime.

Manny had never fought above 135 lbs when he fought De La Hoya, that's why De La Hoya was so favored. Most people thought he would kill the much smaller man.

Alexis Auguello would give Floyd hell
Don't count out Julio Cesar Chavez
Pernell Whittaker (in most people's eyes) beat a much better version of De La Hoya than Floyd did.
Aaron Pryor could beat anyone who ever lived at 140

Remember, a lot of people think Jose Luis Castillo beat Floyd in their 1st fight, so it's not like he was invincible or something in those lower weight classes

This may be unpopular but at 160 Jon Ryder beats him because the highest Floyd has weighed was in the Cotto fight at 151 a far cry from 160, and we've all seen what a heart jr truly has. Jr meaning John Ryder not pbfmjr.

Floyd backed out of a Winky Wright fight. Mind you he called Winky out

Got nothing to do with the way Oscar came in, Manny outweighed Oscar on fight night think about that, and Manny weighed 144 beating Diaz, its not Mannys fault that Oscar was ruined, doesn't change the fact that the 25lb bigger Oscar that Floyd fought would run over Manny.

Lots of guys could give Floyd hell but beating him is another story, I don't care if some people think Castillo beat May I don't think he did in a close fight.
