    mosley is the only guy that can beat floyd. mosley got speed, power, durablity, toughness, strenght, etc...

    cotto gases, his defense is spotty

    pac is too small.

    only mosley can take floyd to the wire.

      Are you talking about the same Mayweather that fought Marquez to 12 rounds?
      I believe any fighter can get knocked out, but you act like May is K.O. specialist. He might be able to do it, but it be more shocking if he does.
      I wouldn't be shock if they knocked him out, because I haven't seen him fight a true Welter Weight yet. Plus Floyd is weak to the stomach, remember he got a "broken rib".

        Shane doesn't have the legs anymore, no way.

          And Shane Mosley doesn't he was taking a huge break against Mayorga and barely won the fight. Thanks to a shot Mayorga.

          Cotto could take Mayweather out, that's why Mayweather retired he didn't think he could beat all these W.W's. Mayweather is looking for fighter to get shot to pick him as his next opponent. If he thought he shot Hatton in just one fight what will Pac and Cotto be after they get through each other. They've been through many battles before.

              Mang, unfortunately i think you nailed it. Fan of Pac, Cotto and SSM, but think SSM gives him the toughest fight, he can match speed, versatility and reflexes but has more pop than fmj.......

                  I give Ray Leonard a pass for playing the waiting game against Hagler because the truth is, Ray Leonard should have never stepped in the ring again after his first war with Hearns. But Floyd is still a prime fighter who has yet to have a war. He wont face anyone that is a threat and this is why he retired when the iron was hot. He came back and he want's to reap the benefits after the welter weights destroyed each other. Had Floyd been the one to dismantel the Welter Weight division two years ago, he would be respected, loved and appreciated, he did not do it and now he is getting more hate than ever for being a coward while telling everyone he is the greatest.

                  Floyd does not deserve to fight Manny or Cotto or Shane. Let's all forget about Floyd as it has become apparent that he does not give a **** about his legacy. I say phuk him. I would much rather see, Mosley Cotto II , PAC/JMM III or any other fight that does not involved Floyd. He has even lost our hate. He is just not that important anymore. Manny is the new man and I hope Manny does not fight him, not because I think Manny will lose but so that Floyd can feel what it feels like to just be snubbed like he did to the rest.
                  I know how you feel but I want that pac-pbf fight. To remove any doubt if pac is the greatest fighter of this era. My POV is that a pbf-pac fight is a plus for pac win or lose. I can not say the same for pbf ( I'd say he will get the money ... that's it ).

                    SSM lacks legs at this point. I think he loses a UD, but takes 4, maybe 5 rds off Mr boat buyer.

                      Mosley and Cotto would be the toughest fights for Mayweather stylistically IMO, Pacquiao would give him a tough fight as well.
