    Khans style is Nightmarish for Mayweather. Every true boxing fan knows this.

      i think this is just a common misconception because floyd really hasn't faced that good of a boxer(pls dont mention marquez), the best guys he's faced were pressure fighters
      Then who would you call a good boxer that he hasn't already faced? This isn't the 70s and 80s man.

        Just be pretty well schooled in lots of areas, fighters today don't have that many dimensions. For starters you need that.

          im not saying he ducked anyone
          but a prime de la hoya, prime shane mosley would have been good to see

          my point was simply that he hasn't fought many good boxers, or when he did the guys could no longer really move and box like they used to, you just assume he'd pick apart all guys who try to box with him because he beat a marquez with literally no athletic/physical advantage(not speed, not power, not strength, not length, not weight nothing, zilch) and a green canelo alvarez who hadn't faced much of anything before being put into the ring with the p4p #1 fighter at 23

            See with all due respect I think you have it backwrds. Floyd hasn't really faced a decent pressure fighter. The misconception comes from the fact that Floyd does not like the jab, that is a weakness and....a guy like kahn could be a real problem, but...the real beat down would be from a guy like Madianna who could
            Press continually. Madianna never had the stamina though.

              i agree to a degree, castillo is decent, but yes, an atg pressure fighter would manhandle floyd and i think alot of different styled atg's would beat him

              he really hasn't faced anyone that good, period

                Hitting hard or being faster won't nessecarily beat Mayweather, whoever can outhink Mayweather will beat him but i doubt if there is anyone at 147 who can. Canelo had the attributes to beat Mayweather, underrated intelligence but he just couldn't outsmart Mayweather and lost a lot of rounds by a couple moves.

                I reckon Thurman and Khan have the best chance of beating Mayweather.

                  Hard to tell as I've only seen him fight plodders

                    If you were to build a fighter to fight Floyd, you'd probably come up with something closest to Tommy Hearns, but Vernon Forrest is a pretty good bet as well.

                      Judahs style was hard for Floyd until he worked him out. Khans style probably will give him trouble. Pacquiao
