Fighters past and present that could/ve beaten Floyd Mayweather

Vivian Harris would have smashed Floyd, I don't care what no one says. Floyd was smart to fight the "Vicious Victor" and not the Vicious Vivian!

THANK YOU BURNER! ive beem trying to tell iron dan and jro that and they BOTH claim winky ducked floyd.

Winky didn't duck Mayweather per se.

I mean, the man fought Hopkins at 170 Lbs. I highly doubt he was afraird of Lil Floyd.

But, what he did do, was price himself out. Which he did on numerous occasions.

And whether the fight was serious or not, frankly, I don't care.

But, if anyone is to get the blame for that fight its Wright, not Mayweather.

I think Floyd is capable of beating anybody today in or around 147. As far as past fighters go, I think Hearns by far would have been the worst matchup. Vernon would have been tough as well for Floyd to beat. SRL would have beat him, I think he had just as much skill in the ring with better speed and power, not to mention tough as hell. If Castillo was able to give him problems I think Duran beats Floyd all day, everyday. I do however think Floyd had the ability to beat Tsyu. I'm really kind of shocked as to how many people kind of slight Duran. I believe he was the best lightweight of all time! And btw Floyd was better at lightweight than at his current weight, unbelievable really, had much better movement and threw more punches, just didn't have too many other fighters too really push him.

Glad no one took this post seriously.

First off, i said at that time i would have slightly favored floyd.

Second, daggum already answered most of this post. Floyd's entire time at 140 was spent trying to and getting gatti's belt. It was like he walked through Zoo's neighborhood where he was the king, smacked them up, stole their bikes and hauled ass before he got caught.

I didn't ask what daggum said. I asked you to tell me what fight did Floyd take instead of taking the Tszyu fight. Daggum says a lot of things, usually about Floyd or Calzaghe, he's a funny poster sometimes, but i'm asking you not him, Walter Matthysse.

still having trouble with reality? floyd wanted no part of tszyu. he fought in 2 elminators just to force a fight with gatti. tszyu was waiting for an offer from floyd the whole time(look it up) but it never came. he didn't need any eliminators to fight tsyzu. so he fought corley, brusseles(top 10 in what universe?), and gatti instead of tsyzu. why fight the best when you can fight the rest? i believe that's floyd's motto. normal people call these tune ups but *****s call them career defining fights.

Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy!

Unlike Leonard/Pryor, Mayweather & Tszyu never got to the point of negotiations, so there is a difference, a BIG difference. Leonard/Pryor has no relation whatsoever to what i'm talking about.

But you can respond and pretend that a fighter getting called out in the media, makes no difference on a future potential fight being made.

When you call some one out in a post fight interview, there's really not much more you can do.

Calling some one out in some random show or some radio, is ridiculous. Mayweather calling out Tszyu in his post fight interview on HBO is a lot better than what Pryor did.

All that crap Pacquiao talks and supposedly agrees to in front of PI cameras, he's gonna have to back it up in ESPN, HBO, places that actually matter.

haha I lol'ed when I read that. Mad funny I still remember when Vivian Harris got KO'ed by good old Carlos Maussa on the undercard of Mayweather vs Gatti haha.

People actually believe mentioning a fighter's name in a post fight interview is meaningful? That is adorable.

I don't see Manny Pacquiao on these lists for some reason?
