    is there any bad style match-up for PBF?

    say like roy jones jr to james toney?

    or JMM to manny pacquiao?

    or sandy saddler to willie pep perhaps?

    i think guys who are excellent in cutting off the ring are the ones who give PBF the most trouble...

    or someone with a size advantage & a good jab to a lesser extent like oscar...

    what say u people?

    I've felt for awhile that Paul Williams would've been an extremely difficult style matchup for Floyd.

    Not that the fight will happen anyway.

      Well, he's faced almost every style in the game and beaten them. The only thing I can see troubling him (if Pacquiao's southpaw/speed formula can't) is a tall boxer with a really good jab like a Tommy Hearns.

      Fortunately for Mayweather, there's nobody like that in the sport right now unless he wants to go up and fight a super middleweight or something.

        Yes, I agree. Williams has the best chance of beating him out of anybody in boxing right now

          P. Will is a bad match up for Floyd

          Yeah, yeah Quintana outboxed him, but he got sparked in the rematch.

          -A reach longer than the Klitscho's
          -High output
          -Doesn't gas

            Manny is cuz he attacks with quickness,he will have to take floyd out of his comfort zone with calculated pressure cuz floyd can counter but floyd is tricky he hasn't poured his full talent out offensively

                  2 styles, or possibly a mix of the two..

                  but eighter a tall guy with a good jab and great timing, or a southpaw with quick hands and good combinations.

                  what makes floyd great though is his ability to fight any style and adapt to any oponent. adapting to these styles i figure would take him more out of his comfort zone than others, but he would adapt none the less. it takes another boxing genius who can adapt with him to beat him over 12 rounds.
