    Who Can Beat Mayweather?

    I'm gonna out on a limb and say that the person that has the best chance of beating floyd is...................... Vernon Forrest! Provided, Forrest is the same fighter that beat shane, coming off the long layoff, i think he has the best chance. He has the height, reach, jab, boxing ability, power and style to give floyd fits. Here IMO, are the toughest fights for floyd:

    1 - forrest
    2 - oscar
    3 - zab
    4 - cotto
    5 - shane

      I believe Shane is shot, and I believe Vernon will prove to be as well.

            ricky hatton is the only man in the available weight classes that has a good chance of beating floyd. hatton has the perfect smothering style that can work against any opponent. gatti is a great warrior and puncher, but hes not nearly as aggressive as hatton.

              No one knows how forrest will come back, so you really cant say him. There is not one person at 140 that will be floyd. he will have to move up to 154 and fight the way bigger guys to have a kinda good chance of losing.

                  let me clearify that i make floyd the favorite of all of the guys on my list.... my list represents who i think has the BEST chance of beating floyd... i say forrest does, if he's not shot...

                  2. oscar - has close hand speed, plus height and strength advantage
                  3. zab - can match hand speed, plus has more power... but shaky chin and leaky defense

                    ye i think at 140 hatton has the best chacne, and at 147 im gona say oscar cuz of his speed and power, and im gona say judah. the problem i c with judah is his chin. mosely is great, but i just dont c him beating mayweather i dont know y. forrest has the style but hes going to be at 154.
