    Could Floyd Mayweather get outboxed? (If so, by who?)

    Mayweather is, for the most part, recognized as the best boxer of this era. But is he immune to getting outboxed?

    An example that comes to mind is James Toney. He has a comparable style to Mayweather. Roy Jones and Montell Griffin both outboxed an in-his-prime Toney. Though I think Toney wasn't 100 percent himself in those fights. He said that he was just going to be a brawler against Griffin. That didn't work out obviously.

    Does an in-his-prime Manny Pacquiao have the tools and stamina to do what Zab Judah did to Mayweather for twelve full rounds? Judah was only able to outbox Mayweather for six rounds until Mayweather started successively walking down Judah. If he wanted to, could Mayweather walk down Pacquiao?

        No one in this era is going to outbox Floyd. There are guys that will beat the dog piss outta him, but not outbox.

            No one. Lara on his A++++++++ game could but I don't think he has one, he hasn't been so impressive.

              James Toney didn't have anywhere close to Mayweather's legs. Right now I can't see anyone doing it.

                Fight was 50/50 in 09'-10' ya dumb ****. Manny's older now, but still has the style to win on the cards.

                  K9 Bundrage has the technical skills and ring IQ to box circles around Floyd.

                    Who?

                    Marcos Maidana, perhaps?
