    Who can beat Floyd?

    I'm a pretty new member here and had a few posts. But i wanted to know what you guys thought of these matchups vs Floyd?

    vs. Winky Wright. I think Winky would possibly be able to defeat Floyd at 154 since Winky was easily able to handle Mosley's speed and is bigger, taller and stronger than Floyd. Plus he has a more authoritative jab. I think it would be way too close to call.

    vs Sergio Martinez. At 154, I think this would be a great match. Martinez is a fast southpaw which would give Floyd trouble and a counter puncher at that. He uses his legs more than Floyd and has great reflexes hence his low guard style. I think he has a chance at defeating Floyd eventho Floyd i think would edge it out.

    vs Prime Ike Quartey. Ike had one of the best jabs in Welterweight history and had great power and good speed. He almost beat a Prime De La Hoya at welterweight and was ducked by some people. This one I think could've gone either way.

    vs.Tommy Hearns. In my opinion the one guy whom mayweather could not beat no matter what. Hearns had unreal power, gave SRL so much trouble, and was a counter puncher's worst nightmare. Plus his Chopping Right would def give Floyd a knockdown.

    vs Andre Ward(If he was at welterweight). I think if there was a welterweight version of Ward, it would give mayweather hell. If you notice, Floyd at the first part of the Hatton fight had a bit of trouble with Hatton's rough fighting. Now imagine, if Hatton had comparable speed...could also hit while on the backrun...and was a switch hitter....i think Ward would beat mayweather if he was a natural welterweight.

    What do you guys think?

            Winky's style alone would give Mayweather serious problems, add in Winky's size and I'm going with Winky U.D. Especially at 154.

            Martinez was getting timed by Pavlik and fights at a pace that favors Mayweather. Also I wouldn't keep my hands low against Floyd. Mayweather U.D.

            I think Mayweather right now would beat Quartey and I've always said I'd pick Quartey to beat him. Just that Mayweather is finally lookin' like a WW and we saw how he bullied Mosley. He's stronger now, I'll go with Mayweather U.D in a very tough fight.

            Hearns - no need to explain.

            That would be hard to picture, but Mayweather is better then Ward in just about everything, Mayweather U.D.

                  Winky beats him,they both have low punch outputs,but Winky's high guard leaves Floyd counters punching gloves!!Unlike Floyd's other opponents,Winky continues to pump the jab & beats Floyd on points!!

                  Sergio Martinez also beats Floyd,good foot movement & handspeed,The last time Floyd fought a southpaw that was fast,Judah beat him in the 1st 4 rounds before gassing,without heavy power shots coming back & his size advantage,Martinez keeps Floyd uncomfortable & ud's him!!

                  Prime Ike's fight's similar to Winky,I really don't believe I've seen Floyd up against a jab like that,but he's smaller than Winky,fight goes either way!!

                  Thomas Hearns ko's Floyd inside of 6,nuff said!!

                  I can't picture Ward at 147,but I would replace him with the Punisher to simply throw 100 punches a round & just outwork Floyd,fustrate him & make him quit late in the fight!!
