    Prime Paul Williams, this is the only dude I can see beating Mayweather, tall, long arms, throwing plenty of punches.

    I don't see anyone else in WW or MW giving him issues.

        Not Ricky hatton???? Lol, Pacquiao is a cherry pick for Mayweather and if the fight ever gets signed everyone will say that Mayweather is cherry picking.

              I would agree with Brad Solomon if he didn't go missing for a year after the Demetrius Hopkins fight, but Solomon has that length, hand speed, foot speed and guy that is constently moving similar to Emmanuel Augustas/Burton who Mayweather still say was his TOUGHEST FIGHT

              I would say Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley because both can apply serious pressure and both can be vicious body punchers, not only that but both guys will is hard to break, I seen both get dropped with good shots but then hop right back up and make the adjustments they need to make and either found a way to win or a way to get back into the fight

              Robert Guerrero because he is skills and he is not going to be a guy just chasing a KO, the guy can actually BOX as well as trade with you

              Amir Khan has the SPEED...but I don't think he has the Physical or Mental toughness, he would start off well then Mayweather with his speed and jab, but Mayweather would start to pick him apart and maybe even stop him with accurate shots to that Weak Chin

              most of the other fighters fans are just depend on Power and a Lucky Punch so they keep wanting to see him against fighters with POWER...I want to see Mayweather in with another well rounded SKILLED BOXER then it will be a Chess Match

                He used his length in spurts. Like against Margarito. That Williams wouldve gave Floyd hell.
                No, not in spurts lol. You can't beat may by using your physical advantage in spurts. The was just throwing mad punches like he always does standing there trading and getting hit plenty may I add. Stop playing

                  Margarito (before he was caught), Pacman, Williams a few years ago, Tszyu and Sergio. Any one of those fighters would have been hard to defeat when they bring their A game.

                    I don't think there's anyone that even comes close to a 50/50 matchup with Floyd. Probably not even 40/60 at 147 or 154 (Martinez excluded).

                    Historically there's a bunch of guys that would be a nightmare for Floyd but of those thats active i can't see it.

                    With that said anyone can grow old or get hit by thunder.
