Which fighters could beat Mayweather?

[EmpiresBoxing]

I was a pretty boy mayweather fan and i admit that castillo beat him in the first fight but i was still a fan of him because he fight the best and don't cherry pick his opponent that time.

[just the facts]

uh old DLH already beat him. a prime DLH would TKO him.


Old Mosley landed these on him...






a younger Mosley would've knocked Mayweather out.

Cool story. Not true but cool story.

In my lifetime, the fighters I’m sure could beat him are Ray Leonard, Trinidad and Duran. I give Chavez, Whitaker and Curry a chance.

[Get em up]

Mike Tyson

Bro...Duran has a very big size disadvantage against mayweather. Not to mention Duran is subsibtipal to being out boxed. I agree that there is no way a smaller boxer with size disadvantages is gonna beat mayweather (i don't care who u are) It takes a much bigger fighter with atg skill set. I honestly don't even give Chavez a single chance.......

I hate to sink your dreamboat but Manny could never beat Floyd at any weight from 130 to 147,

He was too scared to fight Manny in his prime so we'll never know

I hate to sink your dreamboat but Manny could never beat Floyd at any weight from 130 to 147, in the lower weights 130/135/ Floyd would have stopped him.

Lessor fighters than Floyd beat Duran so Floyd is right in that fight.

Ray and Hearns are probably too big for him and also being ATGs with a size advantage makes it hard for him to win those fights.

Lomachenko wouldn't handle his power at 130, Pretty Boy Floyd was a killer that had a high KO ratio.

Nobody smaller than Mayweathjer could beat him, it will take size along with great skills/power.

The title says could, not would.. so I stand by my choices. IMO those were the ones with the highest chance to beat him.

1. Prime Pacman had the angles, speed, stamina and awkward style to compete against Floyd. Just because Floyd beat a 35 year old and already cautious version who hadn't had a knockout in like 6 years with lots of wear and tear, it is already automatic that he beats a Prime one lol. And don't start with me about Floyd is older, anyone with a brain knows his style ages better since he is conservative on the offensive end and have way less body wear and tear as he doesn't get hit nearly as much.

2. I'm not really big on LOMA, but I haven't seen Floyd beat a prime fighter of his caliber. Or maybe you can name me one? at 130lbs?

3. Against Ray at 147lbs I'd even pick Floyd over him, but the title says who could beat him.. so there's that.

Margarito doesn't beat Floyd not even with Plaster most people who claim Mayweather "Ducked Him" even most of them don't believe Margarito would've actually beat him but we all wanted to see it

Toughest fight for Floyd wouldn't been guys of course most of you won't say because most of you really don't know boxing like that you kinda just regurgitate what you heard some other clueless Idiot said on youtube

Winky Wright! Big Southpaw, that High Guard Shell Defense was a nightmare to deal with and to try and get around also had a Excellent Jab, that would've been a very tough Matchup for Floyd for sure.

Another is the Late Vernon Forrest with hat Size and Long Jab would've been Difficult for Floyd as well

people typically list fighter who they WISH would've beat Mayweather but realistically they wouldn't have beat Mayweather and they know it

Exactly

Wright, Forrest, Hearns

You gotta have a jab to beat floyd

[djtmal]

At lightweight Duran, Julio Caesar Chavez, Pernell, Mosley, I'd even throw Mel Taylor in there
At ww, Srl, Hearns, Tito, prime Manny, Terry Norris, Forrest

He backed out of fights with Margarito and Winky Wright

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.

Don't know why they continue with prime Pac.

Well because Floyd was scared to fight him.

He had physical advantages but lacked confidence
