    Mayweather is beatable. There just isn't good enough competition.

      Were you to design a fighter to beat Floyd Mayweather you would create one possessing not just power and strength, but most importantly a relentless desire to keep pressing forward even if he got hit on the way in. He would be able to do this the entire fight and would continue hitting whatever he could get his gloves on until Mayweather finally could not stand up any longer. In short, you would create Roberto Duran as a lightweight. Hatton comes the closest to possessing these qualities, though it would be interesting to see if he could simply walk through Mayweather's shots on his way in. I can't see Mayweather losing any other other matchup below 1954. Zab Judah is simply not a smart fighter. Though he is comparable athletically, he simply lacks the ring sense that Mayweather has in abundance. Cotto based on his last performance seems more and more like an up and coming arturo gatti and I don't think we need to see that again. Kostya like Floyd is an incredibly intelligent fighter and it is too bad we could not have put mayweather in that ring in November 2001 rather than Judah. Hatton-Mayweather is definitely the most interesting fight out there and should be made ASAP.

        That he just avoids fighting A class fighters...he said it himself you gotta beat the fighters below the upper echelon...so he goes after B class fighters. Nothing wrong with that except that Winky and Lacy should be leap froggin him in the P4P list pretty soon.

          Floyd is a Force no doubt at 147, but lets not say he us unbeatable just yet, he needs to face the top guys at 147 first. There are plenty of guys at 147 who are peaking right now and I think would give Floyd hell in the ring.

            Hell he needs to beat Zab, DLH, Margarito even Shane and Cintron before people say he is the man at 147.

              mayweather is tha best fighter right now no doubt, he's got mad skills. although i think tha only fighter that could beat him right now would be de la hoya. coto, maybe in a couple years. i dont think hatton could do it. and plz, tha zab fight is gona look just like tha michell fight. if de la hoya trains right and stops ****en round, he could beat PBF

                i think PBF could beat winky. its not like power maters, winky dont have none, neither would pbf at 154. so it comes down to a boxing match, wich pBF would win, he's very quick. it'll be hit in run

                  Yeah, but who put a clinic on Duran giving us the most famous "no mas" of all time? Sugar Ray Leonard. Floyd is the closest fighter to Ray Leonard we've had in a long time. Hopefully he fights all the best fighters like Leonard did. And don't even try to say that Leonard didn't. You can't fight Hagler, Hearns, and Duran and not have fought the best.

                    You cannot take that second fight seriously. Duran was in debt (stunning) and not in shape when he took it too quick. Remember he did beat Ray Leonard decively in Olympic Stadium. It is a pity that Duran never got a shot at redeeming himself and having his career remembered by casual observers for someting other than the words "No Mas"

                      My opinion of PBF hasn't changed after watching the Mitchell fight. Sharmba is a second-tier fighter, with a second-tier chin and skills set. Sure, May looked awesome, as usual, beating down a guy that he definitely should have beaten. Now let's hope he steps-up and earnestly seeks either Judah or, better yet, Hatton.

                      I'm very interested to see what Hatton can do to unhinge May's defense. I'm guessing he can do it, on balls and ability, really.
