    Mayweather better fight a fast Fighter Next.

    Mayweather has made a career out of fighting slow fighters. I can't even recall when was the last time he was in the ring against some who's naturally fast with movement.

    If you look at Mayweather's opponents in last 7+ years, all have same style and ALL were slow/flat footed.


    I would like to see Mayweather against someone fast with good movement and Speed, someone who makes Mayweather work, and can challenge him in terms of work rate and volume.


    No more slow fighters, time to fight someone fast like Pacman ,Amir Khan even Keith Thurman and Tim Bradley.

    with that said I don't see him fighting someone with any sort of footwork or movement.


    I think its a high possibility of Mayweather losing 7 rounds to any of these, IMO.

    thoughts please?

    Yeah and no doubt the first fast fighter he will fight is probably Amir Khan with little power and a slack jaw that he could once again capitalise on.

    He KNOWS he would be in deep **** against all know who.

      In my opinion Khan is a bigger threat than Manny Pacquiao at this stage. But still Manny is the more intriguing fight, I'd always love to see it over anything.

        Victor Ortiz was pretty explosive imo.

          yeah, and Mayweather beat him via cheap shot.


          Ortiz is nothing much than a brawler tbh, he lacks even decent boxing skills.

            Amir Khan will become a cherry pick once Floyd beats him May 2015. I've seen how these things go lol

              Don't mention khan as an option unless he fights someone worthy....fighting Lopez won't cut it either.....I'll be happy with brook fighting Floyd before khan. I think it's the better challenge tbh.

                  Fast fighter or not, it does nothing for his legacy to beat a non hall of fame fighter. Pacman is the only fight he should consider who gives him both the highest money and legacy fight.

                    Vegas needs Floyd to keep that "0", expect nothing but the same cherry picks. Maidana was a rare cherry pick gone wrong - that's as close Floyd will come to defeat from here on out.
