    OK, but I dont think its out of the question to make very fair guesses as to what styles could beat Mayweather based on his past fights.

    Castillo arguably already has a win over Mayweather, and even in the rematch still gave him a damn difficult time, more than almost any other fighter. Think its fair to say a smart pressure inside fighter could give Mayweather problems...maybe one of those dont exist in todays division, but style wise its very fair to say.

    Also you can look at Mayweather's fights against Corley and Judah. He was pretty badly rocked against Corley and lost a surprising amount of rounds against Judah, and touched the canvas briefly. This suggests that certain southpaws could give him trouble, imo southpaws that rely more on their right hand though.

    Also someone with a good jab could trouble Mayweather, since in the past its the punch that he overall gets hit with the most often...thinking of an older DLH and Mosley, who were able to jab to the body and hit Mayweather with a right hand to the head. that combo is actually a very good one to use against him to me, since Castillo also did that combo to a degree, although he looped his right hand more than straightened it out.

      Do I have to write "in my opinion" every time I express a ***in opinion? Give it a rest

        Khan has a VERY basic style. There is NOTHING he has that would make mayweather even have to think.
        He'd come at mayweather in round 1 and after several incredibly obvious attempts at attacks he'd get figured out and badly beaten for how ever many rounds it lasts.

        With Kahns style you need to use subtle moves to get at a guy like Mayweather.
        He hasn't learned those things.

            I'd love to see this fight, I think he's got the style if he boxes on the back foot as Mayweather's feet have slowed down now. Throw 4-5 punch combinations and keep up a high work rate and he can win on judges scorecards on activity even if he misses 60-70% of his punches.
            Many have the style to beat Floyd but Floyd choses little or washed up welters with a name. Will avoid Cotto, Williams, Ortiz, Khan, Maidana and Pacquiao

              LMMFAO!!!! Khan has no chance against Mayweather, Khan makes way too many mistakes to give Floyd any trouble, Khan may get the first 2 rounds at max after that Floyd all the way, Manny has really the only style to beat Floyd, and that is even a stretch. As a boxing fan I dont c any1 in that div out boxing Floyd, the only person i give a chance too is Manny that's it.

                  And none of those fighters have Khan's attributes.

                    I give Khan absolutely no chance from what I've seen from him. Floyd isn't even a big puncher but I would expect him to land enough precise shots and KO Khan eventually.

                      And the last fast handed, athletic fighter Floyd fought (Judah) gave him trouble for some rounds and that was a younger, better Floyd.
