    Well I don't expect a lot of the trolling idiots on this forum to know the answer to this but IMO, I always felt while people was calling him to fight Margarito and Cotto fights years ago which I still don't think would've had a ***in chance against a Prime Mayweather, the REAL threats to Mayweather in his PRIME when he moved up to Welterweight actually would've been: Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest! Because those guys was high skilled fighters and not guys jumping in with Mayweather looking for the PUNCHERS CHANCE.

    But after that ERA things have gotten EASIER for Mayweather mostly because During his PRIME ERA and up until now, Boxing really haven't produced many great fighters if any. Now Boxing is purely Smoke And Mirrors and HYPE, average fighters score an impressive KO against another Average fighter and all of a sudden that guy is the next big thing and is worthy to fight Mayweather or Pacquiao.

    As for current fighters: If Rigondeaux was bigger I would give him a great chance against Mayweather. If Andre Ward was smaller I would give him a great chance against Mayweather. Other than that the rest are depending on help from FATHER TIME in slowing Mayweather down or they depending purely on a PUNCHERS CHANCE!

    So the style that could POSSIBLY beat Mayweather IS HIS OWN STYLE

      I used to think this as well

        Zab Judah had some good success... Quick south paws with skill... great formula for beating floyd... Too bad there are so few of em... and too bad Floyd avoids them...

            Non stop punchers with chins that's why he never fought Margarito even Edwin Valero would have gave him a beat Down

                The only boxer who could beat Floyd Mayweather is a younger version of himself.

                    Don't mention Pacquiao or else the thread explodes into 20 pages of garbage.

                    Yeah every fighter can be beat by several different styles.

                      that he's fought, or that have existed in the past?


                      bigger, harder punching WW with great chins and equal skills.



                      hearns, leonard, robinson are the only guys who fit this bill to a T. that's an opinion, but one you'll find to be shared by most experts.


                      hearns is the true nightmare style for floyd. the right hand would come from too high up. floyd would take the shots high on the head, and they'd hurt him, eventually knocking him out.
