    Mayweather has never fought a consistent Boxer......

    Mayweather has never fought a consistent Boxer, i just realized this, now im not talking about a consistent fighter!, like a Ricky Hatton, Jesus Chavez, Castillo, im talking about a consistent Boxer!!!, like a Terry Norris, like a Ray Leonard, fighters who are going to take it to you, fighters who are fast combination punchers who are going to put punches together when you shell up and are going to be consistently aggressive throughout the fight, but whom are fighting out of a Boxing stance, instead of a brawling/unorthodox type of stance, now i know both these fighters are retired, and was bigger in Norris's case, but do you think these type of styles could break Mayweather's style?

    Could Mayweather be defensive and get enough done offensively to repel a fighter like that, im not sure he could, i dont think he could be defensive and not let it effect his offense, now i know Mayweather's offense comes from his defense, but how much transition from offense to defense are you going to get against quick combination punchers like this?

    I guess Mosley could fall into that category, but Mosley is too old to be as consistent as he was, needs to be.

        What fighter around Floyd weight-class throughout his career consist of the style that a Norris or Leonard had? Who was not old?

        Stevie Johnston? Maybe?

        Is that it?

        Who else?

                  Now if it weren't for the weight climb of 2 classes wouldn't the case be otherwise?
