Personally i`d like to se him in the ring with Cotto, Williams and "loaded" Margarito But no... Margarito is the type of fighters who would fit good to Floyd`s style...
I think Cotto, Williams at WW and probably Pacman in lower weight classes could handle him...
Mayweather is surely one of the five most skilled fighters ever, right up there with Joe Gans, Benny Leonard and Willie Pep. Floyd is more skilled than Sugar Ray Robinson, I think Mayweather may have the most skillful defence ever.
How do you beat him? Castillo beat him. Ricky Hatton is bigger, stronger, fitter and faster than Castillo, and Hatton is the only guy in boxing today who can get close to the skill level of Mayweather.. and he just happens to be around the same weight. So go get Ricky Hatton, tell Ricky to pressure Mayweather but not make the mistakes that Castillo made (Castillo was punching to the arms and elbows which a pressure fighter should never do), and get Mayweather on the backfoot. If Mayweather fights on the ropes against Hatton he'll get battered, Ricky will tee off on him from angles switching right or left and head or body. So if Ricky can back him up, I think Ricky can beat him.
Zab Judah could beat Mayweather too because he's naturally bigger, stronger, and he's much faster than anything Mayweather has come up against.
But, I just think at super-featherweight and lightweight Mayweather cannot be out-boxed by anybody since the days of the Gans', Leonard's and Peps.
