Who can beat Floyd?

[Weebler I]

Maidana had the right idea in the first fight he just didn't have the tank to finish what he started. All this talk of Floyd adjusts, he made no adjustments, its just Maidana gassed out & eased off the pressure allowing him to stay center ring more.

He started to hold more in the second half of the first fight, and did the same in the rematch.

But you are right, Matthysse cuts off a ring much better than Maidana, so the "hold and reset" wouldn't be as damaging to LM's chances.

I don't think Matthysse has the best chance of beating Mayweather, that's obviously Golovkin at 154 imo but it would be a good fight.

[Easy Work.]

Golovkin is wrecking all the top MW's; If limited ass Maidana was able to punk Floyd in the first fight and had Floyd hugging in the 2nd fight (with help of homeboy Kenny) won

Imagine Golovkin in there

Lol Maidana didnt punk mayweather...he just came in swinging like a wildman and managed to win the early 4 rounds...after that he was gassed toast and was getting outboxed...second fight he judst couldnt even land at all except for once early...

And golovkin would be weaker at 147....face it... hes not knocking out a future hall of famer and best defensive fighter of this era, he just isnt......not until i see him face a level fighters and win

GGG @ 154
PAC @ 140-147
maybe Lucas but I wouldn't bet on it

If Maidana can trap him on the ropes like that and lesser fighters then Lucas can and will and hes twice the fighter Maidana is.

Maidana didn't 'trap' Floyd on the ropes for the most part. And he never really cut the ring off either. On the other hand, Miguel Cotto truly CUT the ring off and tried trapping Floyd quite a number of times. Cotto is the example, not Maidana.

In the second fight, we saw even more clearly that Maidana didn't really know how to cut the ring off on Floyd. And Floyd did make some adjustments in not staying on the ropes consciously since that was where Maidana had most of his success.

We saw the following comical scenario constantly in Mayweather vs. Maidana 2. And this was just a piece of round 2 and 3.

I get what youre saying Dan, do you think Mattys power comes with him to 147?

I don't see why not with the extra weight and not having to cut so much he may even hit harder. I think he hydrates to 155-157 and don't think he makes the weight easy. Most of the welterweights are blown up fighters anyway.

I'd love to see him trained under Robert Garcia or Freddie Roach.

Who says that he was?

Who can beat Floyd Mayweather?

Madaina beat him but Floyd had help from the judges. PAC might beat him but at this point the fight is 5 years to late cause both are past prime and the fight in my eyes isn't worth 100 million let other young bucks make the money rather than boring greedy Mayweather

I was watching that fight tonht and I remember Paulie saying he in the neutral corner lmao.
