    I also forsee Mayweather getting ****y and going to 154, and losing to a top 5 guy there.

    Yeah is he goes to 154 he'll get clocked, especially if he does it when hes 34.

        [[[i think he's a very focused guy and he (seemingly at least) really has his personal life together. and he's just a really really great fighter (obviously).]]]
        =====================================

        Floyd has a lot of talent, but (OBVIOUSLY)lacks focus and is financially drained by a barrage of legal problems. Seems to be following the Spaddy road rather than a Sugar Ray road. He struggled with Castillo, the best fighter he ever faced, and has not attempted to face the best at 140.

        Moreover, time is running out and he can't move up much more and criminal and civil charges continue to come.

            I think Mayweather (should he stay focused and on point) could definitely be one of the 20 or 30 greatest fighters ever. He has all of the skills and technical dominance required.

            He will run into some trouble when his reflexes start to go, but his defense will bail him out of that somewhat.

            He just needs to hope that no one catches him with a ****** punch...that's the only real thing I can see de-railing him.

            I think Judah, Hatton and Cotto have chances to beat him, but only time will tell.
            LOL!.. Nah, Ricky Hatton ain't Lloyd Honeyghan... But when Floyd DOES step up in class again, we'll all wonder what the bother was about.

              I think that there is no one his size who can possibly beat him. The guy is unstoppable, at this point, and probably won't loose unless he gets old and hangs around too long.
