    None of these fighters work as hard as he does and they are certainly not as smart as he is in the ring and none of them can Out-Box him...this is why they try to bait him into go "toe to toe" and they say he runs and call him "BORING" because they know when he fights smart like that...NOBODY CAN BEAT HIM!

    Mayweather with his father back as his Trainer and him being more Defensive Again...it is going to be hard to beat him not even "BIGGER GUYS" which shows you how pathetic today's average boxing fan is, they want to now use "SIZE" to defeat Mayweather thinking that will finally defeat him this is how desperate people who hate him are getting
    I agree 100%. Size will never beat Floyd. He will simply be too fast for them. It will take speedier fighters to give him problems. Although Berto, Khan, and Alexander have struggled against other fighters, they have the tools to give an older Mayweather problems and make it very interesting. I don't think they have the smarts to beat him, but they would challenge Floyd in a way that slower flat footed fighters couldn't.

      Nobody! Canelo maybe but only because of weight advantage.

      LOL but at the title you knew Pac fans were going to say his name.

        If martinez didn't have injury problems I would agree 100% but at his age and state of health I cant see it happening.

          I truly think that Amir Khan is the only guy with the right tools to beat Floyd. Khan has the foot speed and hand speed to give him problems. The question isn't his offense, its his defense and chin. Floyd would be tagging him all night but I don't know if he has the power at 147 to hurt him. Speed is an aging fighter's nightmare and Floyd has not fought anyone of late with that type of speed. Khan would force Floyd to open up more and take risks because I see him taking an early lead on the score cards against him. I've never really seen Floyd have to stalk an opponent down and look for the KO. Khan is definitely not a better fighter than Floyd, but this might be the right time for him to fight Floyd. Floyd could not win a decision by just pot shotting Khan because Khan throws punches in bunches.This fight would be comparable to Terry Norris vs Ray Leonard. Terry at that stage simply had too much fire power for an older and slower Leonard. I don't know if Khan could actually pull it off, but he definitely has the best chance out of anyone else, bad chin or not.
          Hahaha the best chance out of anyone? You crazy floyd hits hard enough to get your respect. Lightweight Diaz had khan on ***** Street and I'm sure floyd hits harder or already just as hard as Diaz. Combined with the speed of his punches n khans no chin and defense he gets stopped

            Floyd's fans speculating on his behalf. You do it brilliantly. He couldn't do it better himself. When has the theory been tested that size will never beat Floyd? Never. He won't test it himself, so Floyd fans, award him the beat down victory in fantasy fight land, per usual. I, myself, don't believe it.

            Pacman has declined. when the fight was hot, I thought he had a great chance to beat Mayweather, but Mayweather ducked. I give Canelo a good chance. He has more than size going for him though, but that would be an advantage. Can you tell your hero what you just said here about how he could never lose to Canelo and convince him? Then we could maybe see an interesting fight. However, I don't think he believes your words; therefore, the fight will not happen.

                  i dont get it, what makes ppl think he wont fight canelo??? hes fought more dangerous fights than canelo numerous times. but now hes ducking canelo. ppl either seem to severely overrate canelo or they uderrate floyd. it doesnt take a boxing guru to realize that the two are on different levels skillwise and ability wise.

                      Anybody can.

                      Who though Diosbelys Hurtado or Wilfredo Rivera would give Sweet Pea a challenge? Or who expected Roy Jones to have a tough fight with Montell Griffin?


                      His opponents just have to study and put the time in, instead of being content with the paydays and the media attention.
