Mosley and Mayweather per Roger Mayweather

[Amazinger]

Since Roger Mayweather made the comment that "Shane Mosley is probably the most skilled fighter Mayweather will ever face" I can't help but think of this.

It's true that Shane Mosley would have and could beat all the fighter Mayweather have fought.The reason being Shane is a true welter weight and a mediocre Lt.middleweight.


Then I asked....... who among Mosley's previous opponents could have and would beat Mayweather........regardless of weight since Mayweather fought once in Lt.Middle weight.

Who do you think could have beaten Mayweather?


1) Antonio Margarito
2)Ricardo Mayorga
3)Miguel Cotto
4)Luis Collazo
5)Fernando Vargas
6)Jose Luis Cruz
7)David Estrada
8)Winky Wright
9)Raul Marquez
10)Vernon Forrest
11)Adrian Stone
12)Shannon Taylor
13)Antonio Diaz
14)Willy Wise

PS: I only include the fight from 2000 and up and excluded Dela Hoya since he lost to both fighters.

And you can pick as many fighters on the Poll if you think they could have beaten Mayweather.

you forgot to include the option "none of them"

vernon forrest would knock floyd out, i give winky a good chance of beating floyd too although i can see that fight going eighter way.

floyd schools cotto, margarito, mayorga etc..

Antonio Margarito: No. He does have a high workrate and he is big, but his skill level isn't very high. And his power is borderline one punch ko. I've seen fighters with more power. He just wears them down and goes for the kill later (with the exception of Cintron, whom he destroyed twice in one punch).

Ricardo Mayorga: The one that Mosley fought? Hell no. That was a washed up, hallucinated Mayorga with no skill and folded to speed every time. The result of that fight was more so because of Mosley's reflexes and speed being horrible. That's why everyone though he was done.

Miguel Cotto: No. He may give Floyd some trouble in the early rounds, but he never had enough to go 12 rounds with Mayweather and actually win enough. He starts backtracking in the late rounds, and there's no way he would win enough early rounds against someone like Floyd. Everytime someone lands a lot of accurate shots against Cotto (Malignaggi, Judah, Margo, Pacquiao) he loses focus.

Luis Collazo: Hell no. Floyd would never fight on the inside against him which is where he does best. And Mosley and Berto showed that Collazo doesn't do very well against speedsters from he distance. Floyd would win a decision just as lopsided as the Mosley-Collazo fight.

Jose Luiz Cruz & David Estrada: These two don't have much of anything that can frustrate Floyd. I won't even go there.

Winky Wright: This is where it gets interesting. Its a matter of whether Floyd lets his hands go, and whether he can land enough around Winky's shell without taking punishment in return. Unlike fighters like Clottey and Abraham, Winky knows how to mix up his offense with the shell. If Floyd did everything he needs to do, I'd pick him to win a close decision, but if not then Winky would take it.

Raul Marquez: No. Floyd would dance around for 12 rounds on him.

Vernon Forrest: Damn...Forrest's jab would destroy him, but at the same time Mayweather is capable of neutralizing it, unlike Mosley. If Floyd neutralized it then I'd definitely pick him to win a decision, but if not then Forrest would win a decision.

Taylo, Wise & Diaz: Hell no. No explanation necessary. Especially for Diaz.

how would Vernon knock Floyd out, only because he's strong? I think Floyd would use Vernon's jab to build his offence countering him over and over, much like Floyd vs Ndou. Imo only a prime winky would have a slim chance, dont forget Vernon lost to Mayorga and Sergio Mora

[Piper the Great]

I just love how the cult comes up with every twist & turn that floyd wins. If he do this then floyd will start doing this & if he do that floyd will do that.

floyd vs goku.... If goku throw a spirit bomb floyd will shoulder roll it & then catch him with a lead right.

floyd vs flash.... Floyd will check hook him running in

floyd vs the hulk.... Floyd will stay calm which will make the hulk calm down

[Doctor_Tenma]

Both Winky and Forrest beat Floyd.

[David_TheMan]

Floyd is my boy but I think Winky and Vernon would could beat him, especially Vernon. Vernon's length, power, and fundamentals would give him an advantage over Floyd, because I think it would make Floyd have to go on the offensive, which would allow him to be countered by Vernon.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

No one that Shane fought has a chance in hell other then Forrest and Wright.
